Rook and Raven - You Rest You Rust, by ricobenfico on Oct 25, 2011 0:13:40 GMT 1, True to form Rook & Raven galleryโs opening exhibition, โYou Rest You Rustโ is going to be showcasing some of the most impressive talent in the cotemporary art world. The artists featured include the critically acclaimed Penny whose intricate, highly technical brand of stencils create images that deal with vast themes on often minute scales. Non-conformist Dale Marshall will exhibit his powerful oil based canvases. Marked by an inescapable rawness, his art makes compelling and beautiful viewing. New Yorker DAINโs street art effected spin on faded Hollywood glamour is a brilliantly arresting exploration of both then and now. Finally Daniel Lumbini completes a stellar line up. His work marries
modern and classical techniques to create familiar yet disarming images that force you to reconsider your initial reaction.
This will be followed on the 24th November by David Walkerโs eagerly anticipated solo exhibition. Working in traditional portraiture and painting freehand, but using only spray paints, Davidโs signature multi-layered style challenges preconceptions about both fine and urban art.

I guess it makes sure I don't spend any money so that's a good thing!

Saint, agree about the prices! Quite like the first Dain piece and some 'found down the back of the sofa' Penny APs

Don't know about the other 3 artists but tend to disagree on Penny's ones as I find the "Athena", the big "Thumbelina", "Fallen Angel" & "Nimoko" still reasonnably priced...

I personally think the Penny stuff that's been listed is overpriced. Its great work, but definitely reflect gallery prices. Pennys work used to be very affordable, even his large pieces.
I just hope Penny doesnt keep his pricing this high for future releases.

These pieces are much bigger and can be considered as OG (at least I do...). Taking into account the growing interest gathered around his artworks (and the money flippers are doing on his back !), I think it's only justice that the artist HIMSELF starts to make a bit (more) money ;-) He has some bills too and won't be releasing stuff @ ยฃ100 forever ;-) Nothing wrong with a one-off "Athena" @ ยฃ850 IMO

Penny is a top artists and a top bloke, he deserves to earn a few extra pennies! Should be a good show either way

Rook and Raven - You Rest You Rust, by craigf on Oct 25, 2011 12:53:23 GMT 1, Considering the size, work involved and interest in Penny although these are a price step up they don't seem bad value for money. There are a few older pieces done slightly differently or to a larger scale and some new (I like the Athena piece)
Babydave, the price increase isn't so bad if you consider what you've already purchased. Getting in early allowed you to get a pretty decent collection for a lot less than people will now need to spend

Rook and Raven - You Rest You Rust, by Zippy on Oct 25, 2011 15:39:45 GMT 1, Prices do seem very high, I guess we will know once work has sold or not sold.
There was a big hype about 'Penny' on here and then some of the (same) people were very quick to offload their pieces.
Maybe it was the syndicate's AGM last month?

That would be fine except all this money isn't going to the artist, the gallery will take their cut from this price (others on here will be better placed to guesstimate the percentage) so Penny might just be getting close to what he was selling these himself directly (without the hassle and opening himself up to a wider market).

How is that a scoop ? Are you trying to explain me that Galleries are useless to artists and ripping them off ? Anyway, not arguing here, all I'm saying is that 1. Penny won't sell @ ยฃ100 forever 2. that Athena is fairly priced IMO at ยฃ850 and will easily be sold 3. don't see why the Gallery's cut would be any different than usual 4. it's about time Penny makes more money on HIS artworks than the flippers do ;-)

As chairman of the syndicate you'd know better than most Zippy

Rook and Raven - You Rest You Rust, by craigf on Oct 25, 2011 16:13:33 GMT 1, I have just been reminded re the first rule of the syndicate is that you must not talk about the syndicate. The message was delivered by way of a severed horses head in my bed, at first I thought someone have sent me a Hirst original, but the note was very clear so I need to confirm the following:
There is no syndicate
Zippy is not the head of the syndicate as it does not exist
p.s. I believe they are meeting up for Christmas drinks some time in December and possibly to watch fireworks next month, rsvp's are in the post ;D
