'NELLEPHANT' NEW PRINT RELEASES FROM CHARMING BAKER
In November we welcomed Jealous favourite, Charming Baker, back to Jealous Print Studio to work on two new editions to be launched at the London Art Fair 2017. Following his sell-out exhibition at Sotheby's S2 Gallery 'Sweet Nothing', a plan was made to create the most embellished Baker print works to date. The print references his original painting 'Nellephant (Portrait of Artist's Daughter)', which formed part of his S2 gallery solo show and features his daughter in an elephant mask. The edition was initially planned to be printed only onto birch ply, but this soon developed into two versions of the work, one on board and one on fine art cotton paper, each slightly different but equally as alluring.
NELLEPHANT PAPER EDITION
20 Colour Screenprint Hand Finished with Graphite and Black Flocking on Somerset Satin White 410gsm Paper 78 x 62cm Edition of 35 ยฃ1200 + VAT
Please note: The edition will be launched at the London Art Fair only, Tuesday 17th January 2017.
NELLEPHANT WOOD EDITION
21 Colour Screenprint with a Hand Painted Background, Airbrushed Ink and Graphite, with Black Flocking and 24ct Gold Leaf Edging on 6mm Birch Plywood 69 x 54cm Edition of 35 ยฃ1500 + VAT
Please note: The edition will be launched at the London Art Fair only, Tuesday 17th January 2017.

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by Matt on Jan 11, 2017 18:17:08 GMT 1, This was my favorite piece from the S2 show, and I was super disappointed when the print was not released with the 3 others
The process looks really interesting but I can't decide if i like the result
Will have to see them in situ to decide or maybe they can be seen at the gallery ?

Hello all! It's been a while.
No advance sales but Jealous tell me they are happy to take 'expressions of interest'!
Just contact Louise with details of which edition youโre after at louise@jealousgallery.com
Hopefully I'll get out of purgatory and be able to visit some art shows again soon. Maybe see some of you in Islington.

I think good art is like a good song. The lyrics give a guide to what the musician meant, but are vague enough to allow the listener to draw his/her own interpretation. But that's me. I tend to find obvious, singular driven narratives (in art) or meanings (in music) a bit boring.
So I guess I'd ask back: what does this piece mean to you, what feelings does it evoke in you? Sit with it a bit. Have a glass of wine with it. I think that once an artist puts his/her work out in the public domain, it's as much yours as theirs to give it a meaning.
Personally, from this piece, I get strong feelings of fear, isolation, and a desire to hide -- an "on stage" moment of a child, which many of us still can feel as adults. I pull similar themes from Panda Boy. But that's me... and that really shouldn't be important to how it makes you feel.
The art can be personal and meaningful to the viewer, yet have a completely different meaning to the artist. Charming once told me the massive Gorilla head painting he did was a self portrait. I laughed, figuring it was bar talk, just a joke... only to realize some time later he was serious.

That's pulling me off. Otherwise, it's a fine piece.

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by iamzero on Jan 12, 2017 8:17:39 GMT 1, I like it but looks like my favourite artist has gone beyond my reach with the price on this one. Disappointing. I love the image too. Not sure it has the warmth of the Panda Boy which is possibly a lazy comparison but having said that I wasn't sure on the Half Pint for some time. I'll stand on the shore waving goodbye to the Charming Baker boat.

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by corinthia on Jan 12, 2017 17:36:23 GMT 1, I am not sure of what this says to me. I see what the other members see to some extent. Maybe a fear to be on stage, fear is the elephant in the room that they need to get over? Now this is without the suggested glass of wine. I will see what is says to me this weekend with the assistance of a good drink or two. I do like the idea of the wood version, using this medium and hand finishing. I have no idea if this will be a hard peice to secure but I think I may just try for my first CB piece.

Not so sure why someone would waste their time to post vague and negative feedback. Not that I am offended or bothered by it. I appreciate opinions good or bad. If anyone else happens to see it in the flesh I would love to know your opinion. Thx.

I think it would have to be seen in the flesh. Looking at the Instagram video it certainly looks nice but the price is pushing some to the outer limits of a print budget.

I own Half Pint NYC and I can see the similarities - at least this is a print which will make you think a little, step back and question the what and why!
Birch Ply (69 x 54cm):
Paper version (78 x 62cm):
