Article 25. Olivia Jones
One of Olivia’s aquatints titled Flora is being auctioned off at RIBA (Royal Institute of British Architects)
She was asked to create the piece by Article 25, a UK registered charity that designs, builds, and manages projects to provide buildings fore some of the world’s most vulnerable communities. Each year they run a charity art auction called 10×10, encouraging artists and architects to create works based on a specific site in London, all profits go towards their future projects.
10×10, the brainchild of Tim Makower, brings together 100 participants to create 100 pieces of artwork, giving 100 different perspectives within a snapshot of London. These works are then auctioned off at a special fundraising reception evening, which this year will be held at the RIBA’s headquarters in Portland Place, London.
10×10 is a unique concept, with the architects, designers and artists producing wonderful pieces of artwork inspired by the environment they help to create, as well as providing a commentary and critique on the constantly changing landscape of London.
