Bast/ Faile & More, by Cardiff on Aug 3, 2014 15:01:05 GMT 1, Kids are expensive! TwinsโฆI can only imagine!!!
I have always loved that Choe. You're making me think about re-prioritizing some things. For anyone considering any of these pieces, Greekboy is a great guy.
Best of luck w/the sale and twins!

calling all Star Eyes owners, by Cardiff on Aug 3, 2014 5:56:35 GMT 1, This has always been one of my favorite Star Eyes frames...courtesy of the Framed Insect thread and MadRat (hopefully he doesn't mind)...
On that note...anyone know where I could source a frame like this? Do I need to find a perfectly sized vintage frame and have it re-conditioned? I'd like to re-frame my mica chip Star Eyes in a similar frame.

David Choe โข Death Blossom, by Cardiff on Jun 23, 2014 6:21:16 GMT 1, This thread just reminded that I had both of these hanging next to each other for a while (don't have either anymore)โฆ
Not the look I would think anyone would be going for (unless claustrophobic spaces are your thing). I guess it does give you some sense of the size of both pieces.

Kazuki Takamatsu ๐ฏ๐ต Sendai Japan โข Spectral Paintings , by Cardiff on Jun 19, 2014 15:05:27 GMT 1, I enjoyed reading this Cardiff Thanks Coachโฆhope my long winded rambling actually made the point I was trying to make, which was that Takamatsu's work/aesthetic is so unique and powerful that it can actually influence people to appreciate imagery that they normally wouldn't. Enough hyping by meโฆhope some folks can get out to the show and see the work in person.

Kazuki Takamatsu ๐ฏ๐ต Sendai Japan โข Spectral Paintings , by Cardiff on Jun 18, 2014 18:18:21 GMT 1,
I'm no expert on Takamatsu's process, but I don't believe there are stencils involved here (at least not in the traditional sense). This is the best explanation I've seen (and it's not that great) about what depth mapping is and how Takamatsu uses gouache to paint the pieces by hand.
Takamatsu's Depth Mapping
In looking closely at the "lines" around the differently shaded areas on my piece, they certainly look to be painted by hand. BAA, if you have further visibility into the process and I'm missing something, please let me knowโฆI'd be interested.

Kazuki Takamatsu ๐ฏ๐ต Sendai Japan โข Spectral Paintings , by Cardiff on Jun 18, 2014 16:57:59 GMT 1, Quick testament to Takamatsu's workโฆ
Situational factor #1: My wife is often the harshest critic of the art that I buy, want to buy, etc.. She puts up with my art interests, but outside of a few artists that she's met and seen their work in person (Herakut, Chloe Early, BOXI, etc.), she's really not crazy about most of what I buy.
Situational factor #2: We have two small children and my wife works in public education with disadvantaged kids that deal with violence/guns as a daily reality.
Situational factor #3: I agreed that I would not buy any art containing images of guns.
Situational factor #4: I strayed from my commitment and bought a Takamatsu piece last year that depicts a young girl lovingly "cuddling" with a machine gun entitled "Something To Believe In".
Wife's Reaction (upon opening the container): "Seriously, you went with the one with the gun? Haven't weโฆwhoa, that is simply incredible. I've never seen a piece of art that looks like that. It's wellโฆit's simply a different species of art."
The piece has been hanging in our dining room ever since. You simply need to see Takamatsu's work in person to fully appreciate the impact. There is a reason that his last three shows have sold out prior to opening the doors. Hope to see some forumites at the opening.

KAZUKI TAKAMATSU - Opens At CHG CIRCA on 21/6, by Cardiff on Jun 5, 2014 16:40:20 GMT 1, This should be great. It's so cliche to say that you "have to see the work in person to appreciate it", but in Takamatsu's case, it couldn't be more true! The two large paintings are simply off the charts.

10k for 1 original piece, by Cardiff on May 10, 2014 14:55:23 GMT 1, Pick me one up while you are there please I'll sort out the dosh later yeah Ha ha went on a bit of a trek over to the gallery that he quote on his site. it is the size of two postage stamps in a basement. Really tiny unbelievably small. They had a weird show on of these dolls/sculptures that's all they had and they had none of his work. so bit disappointing however went to Shubiya to meet the wife and to stop her shopping. Found two mega pieces by a Ludo on a wall that were amazing will post pics soon as I get back home on Mon / Tues so sorry Manty but you can send me the money anyway if it helps!!! I'm not surprised to hear that Gallery Tomura is tiny, but I can tell you they (Rikya) are an absolute treat to deal with.
