ASTERIX CONQUERS AMERICA (1994) - Asterix, Obelix and Multi-Character Original Production Cel and Pan Original Layout Drawing Setup - A richly detailed pan layout setup from the animated feature Asterix Conquers America (aka Asterix In America), expertly composed using seven original hand-painted production cels over a large-format pan background drawing.Asterix Conquers America was the first Asterix film produced entirely outside France and marked an ambitious expansion of the franchise. With its distinctive style, international tone, and strong visual storytelling, it brought the iconic Gauls to a new generation.While this specific arrangement does not appear "as is" in the film, each cel and layout element was created for the production and has been thoughtfully assembled by the studio to showcase the visual dynamism and character design that define the feature. The studio officially released this piece as part of the Asterix Art Program, curated to preserve the series' legacy and offer collectors a rare look into the production process.Set in a Native American village deep in the New World, the artwork brings together an ensemble of key characters: the defiant Asterix stands mid-conversation alongside the wise druid Getafix (Panoramix), recently kidnapped and flung across the ocean by Roman forces. To their side, the young tribal girl, while a wary villager and medicine man, and the elaborately dressed village chief observe from either end, the ever-faithful Obelix acting as both mediator and muscle in the scene.The pencil layout background stretches across, laying out the ceremonial grounds and tipi village in a sweeping perspective. These layouts were integral to shot planning, camera movement, and cel positioning. The scale, clarity, and theatrical composition make this setup an ideal display piece, a scene that captures the drama and charm of the film's aesthetic. Multiple production reference numbers are handwritten along the bottom edge of the cels, and several annotations are written on the drawing. The official studio stamp is present on the bottom right corner of the layout, authenticating its origin. A special offering for fans of the franchise and for collectors who value the immediacy, scale, and storytelling power of original animation art. Dimensions: 31 cm x 109 cm (12.25" x 43")Sold without copyright; see copyright notice in the Buyer's Guide.VAT Status: Ω

* IAN DAVID COOK RI RSW RGI (SCOTTISH b. 1950), DRAWING ROOM WITH SEATED NUDE oil on canvas, signedunframedoverall size 51cm x 76cmNote: Studied at Glasgow School of Art from 1968 to 1975 during which time he won the Hutchieson Drawing Prize and completed a year of Post Graduate study in Fine Art. He was then awarded the Cargill Travelling Scholarship, a major travelling bursary that enabled him to develop research and works from Spanish and North African sources. As a recipient of a travel bursary from the Scottish Arts Council in 1985 he travelled to Central Africa as a means of furthering his two-dimensional and three-dimensional studies and produced many artworks sourced from indigenous cultures. The urge to continue such study has never abated, and in 1993, after a sojourn in the Indian reservations of America’s North Western States, he created an immense series of works that, with the endorsement of Glasgow City Council, filled the entire exhibition areas of the Glasgow Royal Concert Hall and was upheld in critical acclaim. In the last four years he has made regular trips to Central and South America and Mexico in pursuit of Pre Columbian symbolism and contemporary Latin American culture, adopting historical and tribal elements with the intention of incorporating them in his work. Aside from these gestures to ethnic genre he regularly produces a range of figurative and surrealist works using diverse subjects. In 2000 he won the Winsor and Newton Award at the RI Show and in 2005 he was awarded the RI Award for the most outstanding contribution to the Exhibition at the Mall Gallery in London. In 2011 he won the Fellowship of the Glasgow Art Club at the RGI Exhibition, and in 2015 he was awarded the House for an Art Lover Award at the RSW exhibition. His work has been exhibited at the Royal Academy, Sunday Times Watercolour Exhibition, London, The Portrait Society, RGI and RSW shows in the UK, many British and continental galleries, as well as public and private collections worldwide inclusive of Trainload Freight, The TSB, The BBC, The Kinsey Institute, Indiana State University, and The American Equestrian Association.
