Josh Keyes "Last Kiss" 20th July, by kunstrasen on Jul 8, 2010 9:44:35 GMT 1, Upcoming print release...
Josh Keyes - "Last Kiss" Signed & Numbered Edition of 250 Archival Giclee on Embossed Hahnemuhle Velvet Paper (308 gm weight) Paper Size 18" x 24" with Deckled Edges Published through Limited Addiction Publishing, 2010
Definitely not as strong as 'Lifted'. Could have thought of other pieces for a print edition but like the edition size since I tend to miss the chance to buy smaller runs. But not so sure what to think of this release. What are your opinions?

Josh Keyes "Last Kiss" 20th July, by dangleberry on Jul 8, 2010 10:06:15 GMT 1, I tend to agree. Technically as good as ever but not the strongest image for me. Still, no doubt it will fly out of the door.

Josh Keyes "Last Kiss" 20th July, by kunstrasen on Jul 8, 2010 13:25:41 GMT 1, I assume the message is more of a sad/dark nature considering that the deer seems to be drowning, underlined by the title 'Last Kiss', receiving the kiss from a free, light, colourful creature like the hummingbird. Some tension in the message behind the piece, nevertheless the visual approach doesn't really underline this tension. Lack of colour variety, mainly soft colours, one main object as eye catcher. Or does the different visual approach even underlines the tragedy of the message of the piece? Definitely a piece which could be considered as a grower and nothing which gets all the attention at first sight.

Josh Keyes "Last Kiss" 20th July, by Pupster on Jul 8, 2010 14:06:40 GMT 1, Comments by Josh on this piece ...
That painting was a key piece in the LeVine show and also has an important personal meaning for me. I am always a little wary of sharing my intended interpretations with people as most everyone has his or her own idea of what is going on in a picture. But I think I should share my thoughts about this piece with you.
If you are like me you are starting to take notice of your body beginning to creak more often than it used to. Your memory is not as sharp as it used to be. You are basically on the door step to mid life. Like the car you drove as a teenager you still have it but it is getting rusty and needs more maintenance than it used to, and you can't trade it in, not yet until the brilliant scientists perfect transhuman technology.
So for me the piece is foreshadowing a state of being that is on the horizon, and common to all. It is about becoming comfortable with letting go of the body or specifically identifying with the physical body. The humming birds could represent the personality, spirit, or soul. In a nutshell, it is an honoring and letting go of the body, realizing that it is temporal and its ok to watch it go over time, and to turn the focus of our identity on that bright energy within, for me I often feel my mind is like a flock of humming birds, darting this way and that to ideas and emotions. The birds are saying goodbye to the body.

Josh Keyes "Last Kiss" 20th July, by curiousgeorge on Jul 8, 2010 15:48:57 GMT 1, Cheers for that AF
I could relate to some of his description and he has 4 years on me! I started cycling 3 months ago,2500 miles later and a drop of 20kg's in bodyweight i feel 10 years younger. I ain't giving up just yet, aim to be bigger,faster and stronger than in my 'prime'
Birds saying goodbye to the body? They better bloody not, whistle more like Hell I've just talked myself into making an effort to get this print

Owning already a frew prints I bought my first original and I can tell you - his work is even stronger in the flesh.
I like this one very very much.

You are very eloquent sir! Couldn't have described the 'sad/dark' message behind this piece any better...!
Josh tends to use environmental issues in his pieces and for me this is about a clear a message as I've seen so far....Just fanatastic!

It will be very nice paper. Limited Addiction publishing creates the editions for DBS. Tiny Showcase used their own publisher for the charity release.
All of the signed Keyes prints are top notch quality (although some Magician's Garden prints have been signed after the fact).
