Miaz Brothers 🇮🇹 Portrait Painters • Roberto & Renato Miaz, by k2 on Jun 18, 2020 16:27:56 GMT 1, Are you sure? HMU if you didn't. LMK if you did. Otherwise tldr; But... why?
This chap seems to have taken offence to ‘openended’ and is now going through his post history and replying to every post with a stupid comment. While it might be amusing for him, unfortunately he is currently ruining the forum for everyone else.

I somehow managed to delete your message before reading it and can’t find a way to restore it. The subject line was “painting”. Thank you!

Banksy Black Spray Can, Gross Domestic Product™, by k2 on Jun 16, 2020 0:29:22 GMT 1, The herd has taken over I have a hulk , Pepsi , bluesy , coke , Harrods And a few others but the rest retain their official names ,those that know , know 😉😬 I don't know what any of this means, but I think I did two bluesys and half a hulk at a Fantazia in Shepton Mallet at some point in the 90s. I gave my shoes to a girl, got on the wrong coach home and ended up in Romford in barefeet. My mum came and picked me up. Glad to know this stuff is making a come back. Very interesting. There was a point on your stag do when you started offering your shoes to strangers. I suspect that a psychiatrist would have a field day with you, my friend.

Coronavirus effect on the art market?, by k2 on Jun 12, 2020 17:47:55 GMT 1, So Boris said he couldn't ease any lockdown until the R rate was well below 1, otherwise the virus would spread quickly. Now they admit it's above 1 in a few parts of the UK but lockdown is as good as officially over. Well fuckin done Boris, but at least you built the Nightingale hospital in quick time. Rant over... I'm off to buy a new pair of trainers and get a mcdonalds on the way home. The problem with the Nightingale Hospital was there wasn't ever enough qualified ICU staff to work in it. Because lets face it with 65,000 people dead (mums dads brothers sisters aunties uncles nieces nephews daughters sons) there certainly wasn't a lack of patients that could have benefited from being cared for and kept alive had they been admitted. Much as I hate war analogies it took Hitler 6 years to kill that many people and we are only 3 months in. If only this government hadn't abandoned contact tracing in favour of herd immunity on 12th March 2020 we wouldn't be in this mess. That decision and date will (or should) go down in history as the most damaging and costly day in the UK's history. I hate to post links featuring a Tory, but Rory Stewart's words from early March have aged well.

If I've missed anyone, please accept my apology and give me another nudge. I've got a bad habit of reading the messages on my phone and then missing them later when I'm replying from the laptop.

Mehdi Ghadyanloo 🇮🇷 Mural Painter • Iran • Art For Sale, by k2 on Jun 10, 2020 16:46:50 GMT 1, I'm not sure if this forum is the best place to sell the Uldalen. Given that you're offering it for 35% of the current gallery prices, I guess it would be possible to find one that would help you selling it. Thank you for the suggestion. You're probably right.
I have in fact offered to consign it to the gallery that represents him, but have found they are indeed trying to sell it for me (in fact it's listed on their Artsy page). But for £32k. Which is ridiculous.
I had considered an auction somewhere, but thought I'd give it a try here first as I'm extremely lazy.

Mehdi Ghadyanloo 🇮🇷 Mural Painter • Iran • Art For Sale, by k2 on Jun 10, 2020 12:42:36 GMT 1, Hello art friends / fiends,
I've been deliberating and procrastinating over this for a little while, but with the triple-whammy of new parenthood, an overly ambitious renovation project, and a growing disillusionment with life, I've decided to put a few bits up for sale to see what happens.
I am not expecting or hoping that everything here will be sold. I may add more, or I may remove some. I am not in a huge rush. Other than for a couple of artists, I do not really follow secondary market prices. The prices below have been partly based on how keen / reluctant I am to move them on. Similarly, with some pieces there may be some room for negotiation, while for others that I am particularly fond of this is less likely. Apologies in advance if this ruffles any feathers or generates any strong opinions.
Several members here have expressed interest in some of these pieces in the past. Please accept my apologies for not contacting you individually before listing them for sale now.
I am based in Cornwall in the UK. Items can be crated for shipping, or (within reason, and for some pieces) I would consider packing items into my van and meeting up in a suitable location. Collection is also possible of course, and a varied selection of socially-distanced biscuits will be available to those making the journey. Shipping to be arranged by, and paid for, by the buyer. UK sales preferred of course, but happy to ship overseas if you are happy to arrange the collection.
Payment by bank transfer is preferred, but Paypal would be considered with fees to be paid by the buyer. Unfortunately I am not currently interested in any trades, unless you happen to be a kitchen appliance retailer or can offer a small tractor.
References can be provided, and for some of the pieces I would suggest that a phone call to discuss may be of benefit to both parties.
To avoid any doubt, all prices are in GBP and all measurements are in centimetres. 10% of all sales will be split between Shelter and Cornwall Hospice Care, with receipts provided to the buyer.
Feedback and discussion is welcome - this is a public forum after all - either in replies or by PM. Abuse welcome by PM. Additional photos or more information can be arranged, please get in touch.
Except where stated, work has been acquired directly from primary source.
Thanks for reading.
HENRIK ULDALEN
CEDE - 2017 Oil on board - 120 x 180
Tray framed in black. Followers of Uldalen's work may recognise this as the cover piece from the catalogue for his 2017 solo show, "Metanoia". Henrik's primary pricing is currently (in my opinion) inappropriately high, with pieces this size starting at £32k at his last show. Bonkers. I think this is priced much more sensibly. This is a rather nice example of his work and probably gets more comments than anything else in my collection - in the right space it's really very impressive. Some better photos would probably be useful showing the depth of the paint, and some of the more subtle detail that's not really apparent in the image below.
Price: £11,000 £10,000
GOUACHE STUDY - A4 (ish) Framed with Museum Glass
Better photos to follow.
Price: SOLD
MEHDI GHADYANLOO
ABANDONED PUZZLE - 2017 Acrylic on canvas, signed on reverse - 120 x 120
Currently framed in a white tray frame - framed size 131 x 131. One of the more recognisable images from the cube series, this piece spawned a successful print run. Hard to capture quite how vivid this is, but I will attempt to take some better photos on request.
Price: Removed
ETERNAL GATE - 2019 Acrylic on canvas, signed on reverse - 80 x 70 (note, non-rectangular canvas shape to aid the feeling of perspective). One of a series of 4 identically-sized paintings shown at Mehdi's show at Gallery Golsa, but the only one of the series to feature an 'object' (in this case, a ladder) which made it stand out from the rest for me.
Price: Removed
SWELER
"NO COMMENT" - 2017
Framed in a grey tray frame, framed size 48.5 x 48.5
Price: £650 £550
SCOTT ALBRECHT
OF ONE - 2017 Acrylic on wood - signed on reverse - 34.5 x 38.5 Framed by artist.
Price: £850 £800
I also have a larger piece from his sold-out show at Subliminal Projects - please message me if interested.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by k2 on May 19, 2020 18:39:12 GMT 1, yeh most of them do to be fair. I’m sure I read it in some press release. Also on return on art website they all say “mixed media” I don’t mind either way to be honest the end results are great.
Agreed. It’s very effective and doesn’t detract at all.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by k2 on May 19, 2020 18:18:35 GMT 1, i believe Taylor cox actually paints the small figures in her work while Golsa uses some sort of digital printing method. I don’t own either but I would love to own both artists work. Very nice. Yeah not sure how thats done with windows etc as its not printed onto the canvas. However the figures on mine are paint. Might have been digital in earlier works. Its a nice combo anyway
If you ask her she will be happy to explain the process to you.
And the skier in your picture is an ink transfer from a digital painting rather than painted directly on the canvas. She used this very painting as an example in her Instagram stories.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by k2 on May 19, 2020 16:40:57 GMT 1, Purchased a few pieces from Golsa Golchini over the last month. Always loved the thick paint in artwork anyway, but the ideas are getting stronger in her work. Certainly one to look out for whilst affordable. Best way is to follow on instagram: www.instagram.com/golsa.golchini/?hl=en
These are very nice. If you like these, compare her feed to the feed of an artist called Taylor Cox. Unfortunately it seems that whatever Taylor does, Golsa will do a couple of months later.
I do like Golsa and she is lovely to deal with, but once someone pointed this out to me it has put me off slightly.

Pets - small dogs in the UK cost, by k2 on May 3, 2020 14:34:52 GMT 1, Good stuff all round. Anyone use the Insurance companies I mention above? One of them claim a fixed monthly fee for life.
Pet insurance policies are not all equal. The cheaper policies may only cover costs for each condition for up to 12 months, which can be problematic. Some may have a treatment limit per condition, which causes the same issue if your pet needs long term medication. The more comprehensive policies tend to have a limit per condition per 12 months, which resets each year which will be much better in that scenario. But it will cost you more.
They also differ in how costs are paid. Some will pay the vet direct, others require to you pay the vet and then claim reimbursement from the insurers. Again this may be important to you if cash flow can be tight.
Pets become very expensive when they start to break.

Coronavirus effect on the art market?, by k2 on Apr 11, 2020 19:19:21 GMT 1, Without testing everyone and just using herd immunity your basically killing people In A controlled Way as isolation will not stop a pandemic but just slow it to manageable numbers Still giving advice public do not need masks etc The people that have underlying health Issues Hence they have been sent separate advice by the government Is there an element of the government doing the best it can with the resources available? I dont imagine they’ve got millions of testing kits sitting in a warehouse that theyre idly choosing not to distribute them. Its more likely tests are being distributed to NHS and other facilities across the country as they become available. No point in focusing on the fact that there were insufficient PPE stockpiles prior to this event. That wont change the number currently available. The only current option is to be strategic with how the available PPE is deployed until more shipments arrive. Once this is all over we can do all of the finger pointing and accusing. But for now we should be asking what resources are currently available, where will they provide the most benefit and when are the next shipments of supplies arriving. Obviously the government is struggling with the situation but i cant think of what additional steps i would take that they currently arent taking. (Very happy to hear people’s thoughts on additional steps!). I think its easy to conceptualise supply for a single hospital or even a single city but ensuring the protection of about 70m people simultaneously is beyond my imagination. (This is not a pro/anti government point, i think we’d be in roughly the same position regardless of who was the leader/party in charge).
I agree with a lot of this, I think.
However I think the issue is the utter lack of transparency, and the constant insistence that the problem has been fixed.
Rather than just being honest about how things stand, and that they don’t have all the answers (which is ok), they seem to think the way to keep us happy and quiet is to invent new bite size slogans to throw at us. Three strands of this, four pillars of that, five gold rings of something else.
It’s insulting and shows just how little they value us. Seeing the politicians sharting this out day after day is one thing, but seeing the scientists and chief medics reduced to repeating the catchphrases is very disappointing.

Coronavirus effect on the art market?, by k2 on Apr 11, 2020 18:48:39 GMT 1, I asked you for a source to evidence your claims. That’s all. You choose to answer that or not. If it’s the latter, I’m not going to bore myself or everyone else here having to read this pointless chat any further. See...no fun!... and that’s why you get trolled x
Good thinking to avoid the question. Everyone is sick of facts anyway. They’re so boring.
Rather than engaging in actual discussion, the best bet is just to come up with a slogan and keep repeating it, no matter what the question at hand is. Maybe try that.

Schoony panel wooden brackets, by k2 on Apr 3, 2020 13:37:57 GMT 1, A real long shot here ,just purchased a listen schoony panel,it has wooden support bracket attached to the panel .I've contacted schoony as I need the two other wooden brackets that are screwed into the wall ,they are angled at 40degrees so they support the two attached panel brackets . Schoony is unable to make these at the current time and so hopefully someone somewhere may have these spare ,as I say a long shot .
It might help to post a picture. It sounds like a French cleat which would be relatively easy to source / create.

Coronavirus effect on the art market?, by k2 on Mar 25, 2020 23:14:30 GMT 1, There is gonna be a time when the world leaders are going to have to make the hard choice that no one enjoys, but is why ur a leader in the first place. And that choice is gonna be weighing the needs of the many vs the needs of the few and that choice is never popular as we’re talking life or death here. It’s as**t time to be a politician right now. Exactly. Nobody wants to say it, but here in the US, I can almost guarantee in 4 weeks the restrictions will be lifted by the government. Trump saying 2 weeks right now for Easter, but that is way to presumptuous even by his standards with the peak estimated in 3 weeks. My money is on 4.
The more I read from healthcare workers who are dealing with this and reporting back, the less I am worried about what happens next and the more I am worried about what’s happening now.
I understand how it’s possible to distance oneself from awful things that are happening to people in other countries that don’t directly affect us - we can all be guilty of that - but it boggles my mind that people are able to consider an acceptable level of loss amongst their friends and neighbours in order to protect their economy.

Coronavirus effect on the art market?, by k2 on Mar 25, 2020 22:32:50 GMT 1, I'm sorry to say I really think you are massively underestimating this virus on health and economy ... and believe me I really hope I'm wrong. Not discrediting the virus at all. It's a bad virus, but life must go on, regardless. I'm simply saying with more testing and precautions we continue to curve it until we have a vaccine. The data is still inconclusive. A global recession/depression from 6 months of quarantine would probably yield more deaths than the virus. This is the sad truth we will be faced with, which is why curving the amount of people and peaking is the game plan. This will continue until said vaccine or hopefully it peters itself out long enough during summer here in the states to help bridge the gap for supplies/virals/vaccines ect.
Just checking... you’ve seen what’s going on in Italy and Spain right?

Coronavirus effect on the art market?, by k2 on Mar 23, 2020 15:22:32 GMT 1, I've kind of just answered this in my other reply. I have literally isolated myself and family for over a week now. I can't speak for everyone else that's moving to these areas and get the extra strain it can cause. I just don't think you can be hated for doing what you feel is right for your family. I have a 'thingy' that goes behind my van and has beds and a kitchen in it and means i can't drive very fast and it pisses people off behind me (have you worked it out yet) I was thinking of bringing it to Whitstable, they have a campsite (big clue if you didn't get it) right by the sea. Pitching up (another clue) and spending a few weeks or just going there when I want to. Seemed like a great idea to me, just f**koff with my food and supplies, chill out and being the introvert that i am i like my own company, i make myself laugh, in fact i am laughing now at how funny i am to me (Day 7 of being at home) Is there an issue with this? Is this satire?

Coronavirus effect on the art market?, by k2 on Mar 23, 2020 15:01:21 GMT 1, Unless you had it when you arrived but hadn’t yet shown symptoms. Or unless you were planning on using supermarkets or local delivery services. There is one hospital in Cornwall equipped to deal with this, and it’s already full. Five people died there this weekend, and the beds that freed up are full again. It’s better for the locals, and for those who might be considering travelling down, if everyone just stays where they are at this point. I've kind of just answered this in my other reply.

Definitely no hate, and hard to disagree with you. To be honest I’m sure I’d want to do the same. It’s certainly been relatively easy to be isolated here, but the prospect of the elderly community needing hospitalisation and finding none available is quite scary.
It’s not so much the second home owners at this point, it’s the tourists turning up expecting business as usual, and the holiday parks advertising themselves as self-isolation paradises.

Coronavirus effect on the art market?, by k2 on Mar 23, 2020 14:39:08 GMT 1, Then I'm afraid you'd be putting strain on the infrastructure of that rural community that it could really do without. Hospitals and ambulance services are distributed and geared up based on resident populations. Yeah, I get that, but I would not leave my house, so would essentially be 100% free from catching the virus.

Coronavirus effect on the art market?, by k2 on Mar 22, 2020 0:03:57 GMT 1, Agreed, short term pain long term gain Every day we leave it, numbers are going to rocket. I hope laws are enforced with immediate effect and any f**kerbreaching a lockdown needs a hard slapping.
Cornwall has 15 ICU beds and a single capable hospital serving the entire county, an elderly population, and yet some holiday parks are still open and promoting themselves as a great place to self-isolate. It’s utter madness.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by k2 on Mar 7, 2020 1:13:22 GMT 1, It certainly is. I’ve always been attracted to art that isn’t easy on the eye. Pretty art is not usually something I’m interested in. Or landscapes, though violent skies (Goya springs to mind) are interesting. This remains one of my favourite paintings in my collection, and it probably best represents my taste in art: http://instagr.am/p/BNQJmrlDJY7 They are really nice Coach. I am a fan of some macabre art also. My favourite artists of this type are Paul Booth, Chet Zar, Laurie Lipton and Michael Hussar. I find Alex Grey a bit Macabre in a way also.
For me I think macabre isn’t a fitting description for the piece that coach posted, while I would agree that many of the artists that you posted would fall into that category. Of course we all interpret things differently, and everyone’s line of where challenging becomes disturbing is in a different place.
So for example I typically enjoy the work of Alex Merritt, but my wife finds it hugely uncomfortable and anxiety-inducing so regrettably it isn’t something I can consider for the walls at home. However she does enjoy the work of Henrik Uldalen, whereas a visitor we had over Christmas had a strong reaction to one of his paintings to be quite upsetting.
From my perspective, while I admire the talent, I find the paintings of Anna Park to be quite unpleasant to look at and difficult to enjoy. But others clearly feel differently. What a relief that we all enjoy different things or life would be terribly dull...
