303abuser there’s not much difference between painting and music if you ask me…..just emotion - often pain- expressed in a different format.

Do we have any POWER prog painters?

If yes, get ya work up.

    They look very Rothko-esk to me

      I imagine zacko could whip up a visualisation of yomanda synths & strings, the likes of which has never been displayed on this board.

      Music is always on while painting. Sometimes have to hit up the Random Mixes thread for new directions/inspiration. Otherwise it’s mostly Fortier, Digweed, Burridge, etc. Atish 5 hr set from stereobar is a recent like (but hardly exciting). As much as I enjoy a Lawler liveset, the results are… unimpressive. Might have to put on a Ben Clock set just to see what happens.

      Surprised by the interest, frankly. I’ll edit the above with some pricing (non-gallery pricing, mind). Shipping from the US may be horrendous, so that’s another beast.

      I’ll post a few more later today, too.

      Dubman Was glossing the kitchen door last week and thinking I should knock up a few Rothko rip offs. Got to be worth a punt.

        Love Rothko. Have a large print of his in my master bath. His work is an inspiration, but I hope that there’s a large enough difference between his work and mine that it stays out of rip-off territory.

          Good idea. I could knock some up during my lunch break & make a few pence for Christmas.

          Amps Rothko was a charlatan.

            your work is so good. i’d bet if you hired a specialist in art branding, you could sell these pieces for 10-20X what you’re asking now.

            Ten thousand winds is particularly beguiling. Love the blend of colour. Cool

            These are excellent, Jon. I may look at getting a piece or two next year, mate 👍

            @303abuser Honestly it feels fucking weird to put prices on things. Questioning worth and all. When I first brought stuff to the gallery they were like oh hell no, this should be $X. Trusted their opinions, and worked some compromises.
            Over the past few months I’ve considered starting an etsy store (yet haven’t). Comparing abstract works of others (not prints) and their pricing and it leaves me feeling queasy. Granted, I think etsy pulls something like 20% from any sale, even with most prices seem wicked high.

              JonQPublik i get that, i feel the same with music. i almost feel bad when someone pays more than the minimum price i have listed, a bit of imposter syndrome i think. ultimately art is like real estate, it’s worth what people are willing to pay.

              i know someone who makes and sells simple geometric art (think protractor, sharpies, basic paints) with very minimal skill involved for as much or more than what you’re selling for. and he sells stuff all the time through facebook and instagram. that’s the basis for my comment, i don’t really know anything, but it’s obviously down to what you’re comfortable with. sometimes money ruins art too.

              These are great - very very cool. Respect fella

              This just sold today. Really freakin odd experience since I popped in the gallery for a chat to the attendant saying, “And here’s the artist!” I nearly moistened myself.
