The Eleventh Hour No 1 is a unique piece in many ways, not least because it is believed to be the first painting created utilising altered reality (AR) techniques. Leading AR company Blippar provided the technical support for Scarlett to record every moment of the painting’s journey from blank canvas to the framed finished piece. Simply install the free Blippar app from your app store, open and point it at the painting to watch the creative process unfurl before your eyes. The Eleventh Hour No 1 has been gifted to The Royal British Legion and will be auctioned at their Poppy Ball on the 30 October 2014 to raise funds for the continued work that the charity does to provide practical, emotional and financial support to all members of the British Armed Forces community past and present.
The Royal British Legion is honoured that Scarlett Raven has chosen to donate one of her poignant paintings from The Eleventh Hour collection to be auctioned at the Poppy Ball this year. The 4th August 2014 marked the 100th anniversary of the day Britain entered one of the costliest conflicts in its history, the First World War. The majority of the UK’s population has an ancestor directly affected by that war, with losses felt right across the United Kingdom and the lives of nearly one million men and women sacrificed in service of the British Empire. The Royal British Legion was founded in 1921 by veterans of the First World War, who adopted the poppy as their symbol because these delicate flowers bloomed on the battlefields of Northern France after they had been ferociously churned up during the war, covering the ground where so many of their comrades fell. The fighting ended at 11am on 11th November 1918, following the signing of the Armistice, and that time and date remains etched into our psyche as a nation. Scarlett’s evocative landscape compositions bring the poppy to life, and highlight that this simple flower is a powerful symbol, not only of remembrance but also hope for the future and for peace – a message that is central to the work of the Legion. Today, a century on from the First World War, those serving in the Armed Forces, veterans and their families can still call on the Legion for help as they experience similar problems to 100 years ago, whether living with a bereavement or disability, having difficulty finding employment or coping with financial stress. We are hugely grateful to Scarlett, who through her work can create an emotive response and connection to the subject matter, enabling us to pass the torch of remembrance onto new generations and ensure the memories of those who fought for our freedoms live on.
