Favourite piece you bought in 2018, by Cardiff on Jan 7, 2019 20:30:32 GMT 1, Perhaps not a painting I'd wish to look at every day, but I agree it is great. Congratulations on your acquisition, Meskell . This is one of the more interesting and effective works I've seen recently. It's beautifully unsettling. The kickers for me are the boy's expressionless face, his hand reaching into the purse, along with the former contents of that purse (including what looks to be a contraceptive pill dispenser) cast aside in the water with seeming indifference. I don't own any of his pieces, but I've been following Wiesenfeld's work for a few years. His pieces are beautiful to look at, and there's something super haunting about his subjects faces and the narratives of his paintings. I think the lack of detail/expression on the faces allows the viewer to see what they want to see in the work. His work with lighting is also incredible. No knock on this painting, but I think his work creates too much anxiety for me to have on the wall.

Favourite piece you bought in 2018, by Cardiff on Jan 5, 2019 5:16:39 GMT 1, Best piece posted so far.
Cheers Ruggs.
I appreciate the framing is not for everyone but it works for me. The frame was a find from a local antique shop.
I think the image works well beside the Kim Dorland original which was also a purchase from last year. The tree lines tie in with the Riley.
Amazing corner Neil!

Show everyone your latest Art Purchase?, by Cardiff on Sept 17, 2018 20:03:02 GMT 1, I agree with Karibo that Martha Cooper picture is beautiful. A very happy nostalgia type photograph! Well done! My last purchase was one of the new Jonas Wood blankets. They look lovely and they are Jonas Wood so always a good investment, plus money goes to support charity. So good cause too! They are still available at ยฃ1,200 houseofvoltaire.org/products/jonas-wood-1 Are you using the blanket or hanging it on the wall?

Tomoo Gokita show in LA, by Cardiff on Sept 10, 2018 22:42:46 GMT 1, I went Sat night and thought the work was great. That said, the scene was very sterile...no bar, no drinks allowed, 2-3 security guards following you around (in a not so big gallery), etc.. When I inquired about the work a few weeks back, I was told they were only placing pieces in US museums or with top tier US collectors (my interpretation of a nicer way of saying "you are not a tier 1 collector). I'm not bitter...just think the vibe was super elitist and sterile and didn't really match the artist's vibe. Afterwards, my wife and I walked down the street to a no name gallery and walked into a small opening of an artist we'd never heard of and it was buzzing with a bar, DJ and great vibe...interesting how the art world works!
