Lot 30. Melinda Matyas
Name: Melinda Matyas
Nationality: British-Hungarian
b. 1976
Melinda lives and works in London. In 2009 she got her BA in Painting from the University of Art and Design of Cluj-Napoca, in Romania. Her work is an exploration of the ever-evolving human identity within our complex society. Through her paintings, she interweaves personal and collective memories, offering her own perspective on 21st-century existence. Central to her creative process is her fascination with colour and the fragmentation of forms, which infuses her work with dynamism and a sense of movement.

Popcorn and cascade bidding:
If a bid is placed during the last 2 minutes of the auction, the closing time will be automatically extended for an additional 2 minutes from the time the last bid was placed. The item will close once all bidding activity has stopped. This is recommended for high-value and popular items. Popcorn bidding prevents bidders from waiting until the last minute to bid without giving the bidders who were outbid an opportunity to rebid.
Cascade bidding ensures auction lots close at staggering times, one after another. For example, the first lot of an auction might close at 12:01pm, the second lot would close at 12:02pm, then the third lot at 12:03pm, etc.
