Artist Bio: Alison graduated in 2004 from Central Saint Martins with a degree in Fine Art. Shortly after it was a portrait of a friend's dog, she did that launched her creative career, although her work has evolved a lot since then. For the last 10 years she has been designing textile prints and graphics full time for the fashion industry. Pattern making is her real passion and the more intricate the better. Her colleagues have even dubbed her the paisley queen. In Alison's spare time she is a freelance illustrator. Her work is defined by colour, pattern, humour and natural forms. She has undertaken a vast range of projects, ranging from animal portraits to t-shirt graphics and likes a creative challenge so will take on anything that comes her way.
Inspiration & Process: It wouldn't be a jubilee without bunting! The Queen's jubilee celebrations are synonymous with bunting, so Alison thought it would be fitting to decorate this corgi with a string of bunting flapping in the sky. There are seventy flags in total, one for each year of the Queen's reign. Each flag is decorated with illustrations pertaining to the Queen on one continuous string of bunting.

Artist: Dominika Karc
Dimensions: Corgi Standing, 1000mm (H) from foot to ear x 1350mm (W)
Base Plate, 1500mm (L) X 600mm (W)
Corgi Material: CNC poly block with a resin coated finish & primed undercoat, no more than 20kg
Corgi Base Material: Weighted timber base with a black painted finish, approx. 60-80kg
The guide price is based on the production costs of each corgi.
Artist Bio: Karc gained a Masters degree in sculpture from Gdansk's Academy of Fine Arts in May 2019. After her graduation she moved to Alaska and shortly after to New York. In December 2019 she volunteered in Eastern Ukraine to help people affected by war. After moving to London in the middle of the pandemic, she started decorating the city with abstract graffiti compositions, increasing at the same time the rare female representation in the graffiti world. Karc's main painting focus is abstraction. She has studied sculpture, which still has a very strong influence on her, and she tends to perceive the compositions as multidimensional and almost physical. When she paints, she creates her own rules and games and then takes pleasure in breaking them. One of the rules Karc has set for herself is what she calls the "Imperfect Mirror" principle when she creates various shapes and patterns to then reflect them at skewed and irregular angles, as the perfect symmetry does not occur in nature.
Inspiration & Process: Karc's project is a geometric abstraction inspired by British artist Bridget Riley, who represented Op Art. She has created a red, grey, white, black composition. Red is a symbol of energy and passion and is the colour that catches the most attention and dominates design.

The simplicity of the shapes sometimes in acrylic and/or papers are mixed with mark making from different mediums and her own made paper textures and colours.
Inspiration & Process: The inspiration for the Corgi started with the Queen's famous bright outfits, allowing her to stand out in any crowd! Inspiration was also drawn from the Commonwealth -drawing on some of their visual languages.

Artist Bio: Jeremy is a designer/project manager and describes himself as an occasional scribbler sketching urban scenes and boat yards when the opportunity presents itself. In the past he has supported several artists with the technical execution of sculpture trail pieces, this is his first individual piece.
Inspiration & Process: We are living through dark times: the last couple of years have seen so much pain and suffering for so many, Europe now sees war on its doorstep and at home the economy is in crisis. On the darkest of days however, a ray of sunshine can transform the outlook with the most brilliant of rainbows. Jeremy recently followed storm clouds over many miles and against their dark foreboding was the most brilliant of rainbows stretching clear across the horizon, which was so uplifting. Through the pandemic the rainbow became a symbol of hope and thanks for the NHS. Jeremy's rainbows are painted for all people, all races and creeds who support others in getting through difficult times. He hopes they raise a smile and lighten the mood: it's a small thanks for their dedication and caring.

Inspiration & Process: The inspiration behind Sophie's design has come from a recent series of work titled “Finding Joy”. The series centres around themes of play, intuition and colours that cultivate feelings of happiness. With her design Sophie wanted to incorporate colours to represent the united feelings of joy in celebration of the Queen's jubilee.

Selected solo exhibitions include: 'Flowers', The Back Room at Holdrons Arcade, London (2022); “The Science of a perfect cup of tea', The Koppel Project, 26 Holborn Viaduct, London (2021); 'Window Showcase', The Koppel Project, 54 Oxford Circus, London (2021).
Inspiration & Process:
"in honour of her lifelong love..." Rebecca's design for this Corgi plays homage to the Queen's relationship with flowers during her reign. Throughout her reign, flowers have been significant at land marking historical moments. Flowers universally symbolise love, respect and loyalty and with their vibrancy of colour and variety of shapes they are the perfect visual to draw upon when celebrating not only the Queen's long standing love affair with the Corgi, but also the Queen and her dedication to the Crown.
