This is a very special art lotto.

Secondly we are heading toward some priceless pieces and we couldn’t be more excited to share them with you. But first….
It’s time to congratulate Art Lotto community member DINA CATALUCCI! Please send us pictures of the gnome’s adventures in your garden this summer. We will be sad to see them go.

ABOUT THE ARTIST + CAUSE:
Anstis uses sensuous soft pastels and paint to build fantasy worlds at a remove from heteronormative patriarchy, yet strikingly transformative of it. The predominant concepts that Anstis’s works explore are “subjectivity, Eros, Thanatos, humour, personal mythologies, misunderstandings and (mis)anthropomorphisms.” These themes are woven together in her paintings alongside a plethora of otherworldly elements - strange creatures, surreal landscapes and plants - by which her feminine figures lay claim to desire, for better or for worse.
Recent exhibitions include I WANT TO FEEL ALIVE AGAIN (Lyles & King, NYC), Just As I Am (1969 gallery, NYC), Canons (Galerie Derouillon, Paris), Comings and Goings (Fabian Lang Gallery, Zurich). She has an upcoming solo show at Fabian Lang Gallery, Zurich in Spring 2021.
The Prisoner Emergency Support Fund is intended for people inside prisons and jails and recently released prisoners. People behind bars often need support to contact their loved ones or purchase essential items on their canteen. Recently released prisoners need access to funds for housing, food, clothing, and physical and mental health supports. Families who still have loved ones behind bars need funds for expensive phone bills and canteens.
