Great works, but why are they all of my parents fighting?

    Superb stuff Jon, they are fantastic.

    Out of interest, how much are they?

    Might snap one up!

    Burn with you for me… nice one Jon 👍

    If this is Jon’s attempt to cover up the absolute abomination that was the wrecking ball, peak time POWER prog thread then fair fucking play, he’s done well!

      sits on hands and continues to try and be nice by saying nothing!

      JonQPublik this is very dub techno - love all this - turneresque , diffuse, spectral, miserablism - defo interested in having one

        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.

                Lol, Brian Sewell’s in the house!

                  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.

                    Elephant was found at an antique store. Don’t think it’s actually old. Probably originally from Pier One or the ilk, Made in China sticker on its belly. Suspect it was an incense burner or decorative lamp- found a lamp kit and voila

                    Mad_Cyril I’ll give you a clue.

                    Six letter word, rhymes with fender.

                    Still doing this thing, but pandemic fatigue got the better of me for about a year and a half. Never got covid (well, not yet), but creativity and motivation were seriously lacking. Firs gallery closed at the beginning of 2021, but I got into some other galleries since.

                    Things have been on the upswing for a few months, so here’s a recent sale and four new works at new places around Asheville.
