Sold: Curiot - Original Acrylic "Resurrection", by maxamaxa2 on Mar 14, 2017 11:40:24 GMT 1, Thx. Personally I prefer his early work. Currently I own what I think was his first silkscreen print, at that time it was just $10 USD, kind of insane!!! His current work is valued in several hundreds. (no idea about the silkscreens because he did not released many) I do like all his work, but I hope he evolves from the Tron era soon I will share some pictures in the near future. Cool, got one more original by him which hang safe from kids and will be kept. Think the Haikutzรฉ ant the "having fun yet"-prints was great, wish I bought the original when I had the chanse, but it got to a good home
Dont forget the promise about photos when you get your gem

Sold: Curiot - Original Acrylic "Resurrection", by maxamaxa2 on Mar 10, 2017 20:01:02 GMT 1, Wish I could but right now I am saving for another Curiot, one of his earliest stage. This one is an incredible piece of his latests stages, one previous to the use neon mixes (kind of like Tron)
Haha yeh right before the era of Tron ๐ Was discussing that the other day, the new tron line sure shows incredible skills but I struggle to see how to fit it in a home, this one must be one of the newest of the old style, it sure hang beautifully! Good luck with picking up that early one thou!

Best format to sell print?, by maxamaxa2 on Mar 10, 2017 14:23:56 GMT 1, If you chip it or damage it any other way when framing it your self it will be a damn expensive "few month" of display! If you have a good framer you sure should spend the extra on letting him/her do it if you really need it on the wall. If its framed now, leave it and turn it into your restorer when its time to sell. Buying a shitty cheap frame and trying your self just seems doomed.

Is framing a canvas behind glass/acrylic a good idea?, by maxamaxa2 on Feb 28, 2017 12:42:16 GMT 1, Great, then Ill walk that line. Will be chunky but probably save the works life in the long run
@elviswarhol how long would you say that it takes before its ok to frame a standard painting (understand that it depends on thickness and so on but approx?). 3 weeks, 3 months or 3 years from painting it? What would happen if you framed it directly after painting?

Is framing a canvas behind glass/acrylic a good idea?, by maxamaxa2 on Feb 27, 2017 20:02:58 GMT 1, Just bought a fresh oil on canvas that cant be hanged in a somewhat protected spot as the rest, and since I have two kids under 5yo I would like to add some protection for this one.
So, is framing it with acrylic/glas in front going to damage it or do it good? Saw something about oils needing to breath for a few years but I don't know if a "sealed" box would prevent that drying process or actually make it cleaner without pollution and uv? To this comes that the painting have a black background so protecting against dust would be great.
Any one framing their canvases like this and could share some photos? Guess they are getting a little bulky?

Watch Winder, by maxamaxa2 on Feb 27, 2017 11:59:08 GMT 1, Fantastic one! What brand is that? Sold mine two years ago when scaling down the watch collection but really miss it. Now I only need one for two watches and your looks a lot better than the one I had! How is the noise level from it?

Harland Miller Prints, by maxamaxa2 on Feb 25, 2017 9:12:15 GMT 1, My babies and first ever art purchase: HF. I never get tired looking at them in my now placed bedroom. I remember my mother thinking I was crazy buying these. After seeing the rise in value over the last two years, now she calls me on the phone... "Hey son, what's he selling these days? Anything I'd like?!" I converted my 65 year old Indian mother Planning on buying my second piece. Was looking at Hirst/Banksy but something keeps drawing me to another HM. I have around 6k gbp to spend. Unsigned Banksy, one of the larger edition Hirsts, or a HM? Thoughts you guys?
Looks great. Put them in your livingroom (?) as in the middle pic and a Phendimetrazine in the bedroom ๐

El Curiot, by maxamaxa2 on Feb 23, 2017 8:53:17 GMT 1, I'm still waiting on them to send out the catalog. Already put in a request - did they send one to you? Same here, no response at all so far
Great painting you picked up! Good choice!
I picked up the one from Solidarty that Sal posted earlier on, but due to kids in the house I have been forced to take it down from the wall (too low ceiling and too tall painting to be secure) at the moment so if anyone is looking im open for offers

El Curiot, by maxamaxa2 on Feb 22, 2017 14:57:34 GMT 1, Just found out he have a new solo show in Berlin soon.
BC Gallery is pleased to present Act II, Volume IV: โCascading Nebulaโ a solo exhibition by Mexican artist Curiot, showing his latest artworks. The opening reception will be on Saturday, February 25th, from 6 โ 10 pm. The exhibition is open for public viewing through April 15th.
bcgallery.de/cascading-nebula-by-curiot/
I find some of these new "act"-paintings a bit too bright and hard to hang, but there are great gems in it and it sure are showing his talent.
Here is his homepage too btw: l--ll--l.com/

Art Hanging Services In London?, by maxamaxa2 on Feb 14, 2017 11:09:08 GMT 1, Wouldn't there be a good idea to also have an advisory service how to hang the art in the most aesthetically appealing way, perhaps even to suggest additional pieces to lift a room? Cause thats the point in which I see many fail, hanging low in strange patterns Perhaps its hard to sell as a service thou and might be two totally different persons, hanging is more of a careful carpenter service. Ok, not sure I add anything to this discussion ill just post and you can ignore this

Hats off to The Picture Frame Gallery.., by maxamaxa2 on Feb 13, 2017 15:35:51 GMT 1, Same here, Mark made a fantastic frame for me. Had a framer here in sweden to do the mounting (since I already had the print here) but Mark supplied everything else. Great service and quality!
Sorry for the bad image quality, its float mounted with a white background and spacer. And Optimum museum acrylic.

Harland Miller โข Happiness The Case Against, by maxamaxa2 on Feb 9, 2017 14:02:22 GMT 1, The tiering thing is ridiculous. Really discouraging for those who just want something nice to look at rather than those who are solely looking for investment. When the bubble pops... On the other hand, it gives the person who just want something to look at a chance to buy directly from source for the same price as it would have costed from mr flipper. In this way you some what restrict the price increase until the whole edition is sold out. It sucks to not be able to buy at tier 1 but I rather have a chance at tier 2/3 than have to buy on secondary market. I dont say that a 3,3k is a reasonable mark up, but I can somewhat see some logic in tier-process as a thing.

Kids Playroom Ideas, by maxamaxa2 on Feb 8, 2017 19:59:52 GMT 1, Think it would be cool to build out the wall 5cm and then have a recessed frame so its just a flat "window". Then place a Wade Guyton "X" hanging in it ๐
Remember that you will need a cover for whatever art you have, dont know the age of your kids but mine (1 & 5yo) is not very cautious to the walls, have had to remove everything my 1yo can reach and the 5yo tend to forget the "no balls inside"-rule from time to time...
