I nearly purchased those same two pieces from Ghettogloss - quite a tidy profit you've managed to make already!

Congrats!

Photo's don't do his work any justice at all. Have to be seen in the flesh to be appreciated.

Good luck with the sale Jam - amazing pieces.

you mean Conor charcoals like these??







PS there is still one left at Laz from Weekend Warriors

The MOCA in Los Angeles is releasing an image by Sage Vaughn in the near future. Pretty cool if you ask me. He's got a lot of fans over on this side. Surprised to see these still available. Price is more than fair. Good luck to you.

Great track and amazing video from Sage Vaughn, the N.A.S.A album is well worth buying as well.

Next week see the start of a new sage vaughn show. Check the Artist link at

Sage Vaughn - Nobody’s Young

It gives us great pleasure to invite you to our first solo exhibition of the American artist Sage Vaughn.

Sage Vaughn (born 1976 in Jackson, Oregon) lives and works in Los Angeles. The Californian by choice began his artistic career with graffiti and street art in the streets of Los Angeles. Over recent years, street art has grown into a globally networked scene in which applied architecture and city criticism, design and art in public spaces merge to create new, experimental forms of expression. This is where Vaughn, who knows the scene well, comes in. His pictures not only reveal the influence of the genre, they translate motifs from design, art or street lives into classic oil paintings.

In terms of content, the "Nobody’s young" exhibition revolves around questions of identity as well as the psychological background and conditions of human existence. Vaughn's protagonists seem to be searching for themselves against the background of their urban, often problematic life reality. The "Wildlives" series of pictures, a work in progress since last year, takes up the magic and the peculiarity of everyday American life on the West Coast. Just as ornithologists study their winged wonders in peace, Vaughn examines the astounding and enigmatic personalities that people carry within themselves. He is particularly interested in children. He puts them in costumes and masks which do not, however, hide their personality, but rather underline their individuality and vulnerability.

A second series entitled "Migration" reverses the perspective. A crowd of shouting, screaming, gesticulating people can be seen as a grey background. The crowd appears driven, hurrying after fluttering, colourful butterflies. The brightly coloured specimens are portrayed in the foreground with clearly dripping paint as a luring, fleeting phenomenon in keeping with their nature.

www.betrand-gruner.com look after sage vaughn,
he's a great artist who deserves more coverage, he got a bit of a false start with laz last year because he pieces he got offered, were'nt particulaly strong, and therefore indicative of his work in the main.
i was close to buying a piece from his la exhibition last year 8x8ft, a swarm of butterflies against a grey american town backdrop, that was just stunning,
anyway, heres the one that i do own;

Nice too!

I know that this mightn't fit into the genre that is discussed on this forum - but isn't that a beautiful thing! Truly stunning and I'd love that on my wall, which is weird as I can't envisage the earlier Bast release making into the house and this forum seems to absolutely love Bast - horses for courses I guess.

Great piece, by any yardstick.

Im also a huge fan of his work, Sage Vaughn seems to be being very carefully managed by Bertrand Gruner and his last exhibition in LA was a big success. I hope he does an exhibition over here in the UK one day soon, just like Rudecopper I think some of the Butterfly pieces are exceptional.



I also have a "Wildlives" piece which has been reframed by Gary called Blue Raincoat. There is a thread about If you had £10,000 what would you buy, I would def consider an original by Sage Vaughn.

PM'd
Pics of his last LA exhibition Native Sons can be found here:
