About the work

This watercolour is part of Kazim’s Man and Women of Faith series (2019 and ongoing), in which the artist explores the physical and psychological implications of tattoos. The tattoos on this man are literally skin deep and perhaps the artist is suggesting that similarly the subject’s beliefs are embedded in their skin. The process of making a tattoo – injecting the skin with ink – could be compared to the way in which Kazim embeds pigment within the grain of paper through successive applications of watercolour pigment alternated with soaking the paper in water.

Auction close and bidder extension

The auction closes at 9pm (BST) Monday 3rd July, however, if a bid is placed in the last two minutes, the auction end time will extend on that lot for an additional two minutes, or until all bidding has ceased. This is called Popcorn Bidding or Bidder Extension and gives all bidders an equal chance of winning.

£50 increments for bids of £300 – £1,000

£100 increments for bids of £1,000 – £2,000

£250 increments for bids of £2,000 – £5,000

Maximum bids

You are more likely to be the winning bidder if at the outset you place a maximum bid i.e. the maximum amount you are willing to pay for the work. Your maximum bid is not visible to other bidders. If another bidder exceeds your maximum bid you will receive an automatic notification. If you have placed a maximum bid the auction site will automatically place bids on your behalf, but only as much is necessary to make sure that you remain the highest bidder, until it reaches your maximum bid. These automatic bids are placed in increments, as shown above.
