'Fred' by Stephen B Whatley - to be Auctioned for Joss Searchlight Charity.
A 'detail' from expressionist painter Stephen B Whatley's iconic tribute painting of Hanna-Barbera's cartoon star of the 1960s, Fred Flintstone - which is to be auctioned for the Joss Searchlight Charity in London in March.
Dianne Parks, who tragically lost her son Joss to a brain tumour in January 2011, set up the
Joss Searchlight Charity to provide practical co-ordinated support for families of children suffering from brain tumours. They offer a helpline, advice on NHS Resources, Benefits and Liase with specialists on behalf of families. Very importantly the charity also tries to make childrens' ’Wishes Come True’.
In 2012, Dianne wrote to Stephen asking him to join more than a hundred other contemporary artists in donating a painting of his choice to be exhibited and auctioned at her 'Something Special' exhibition, focusing on childhood memories, to be held on March 14th, 2013 at 6.30pm at Blackall studios, Leonard Street, London EC2A 4QS. The artist was most inspired by this good cause; cherishing his childhood memories - and lamenting the tragedy in his childhood; the loss of his beautiful mother - about which he writes in the catalogue of this exhibition.
Auction bids always begin lower than an artist's usual asking price, so this a great opportunity to make a bid for a joyful work of art that will hopefully raise much more for this worthy cancer charity. The work of Stephen B Whatley is in collections worldwide and in public collections including the BBC & the Royal Collection of Queen Elizabeth II, so this work of art comes with quite a history.
"Yabba Dabba Doo" to a high bid for 'Fred' - & for Joss Searchlight - on March14th; which should prove to be a star-studded evening!
