CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by delqna on Jan 14, 2017 12:13:22 GMT 1, I love the image, I think it's his best since Panda boy, but that price...Just too high even considering the relatively small edition.

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by dotdot on Jan 14, 2017 14:12:31 GMT 1, I think this work could do well stateside , for some reason.
Here in old blight strewn ...bruchffs-land ..yes , but the cost is just a bit of reach of many , myself included.
For now I think of the trunk in the same dull light as the trump over the pond , perhaps that word might stick in your head a tad less than the vibration surrounding the work.. Which , lets be frank ( not Shirley ) , is blind confusion , humour and a touch of the dark , which is cb's speciality.
To those who do , cool ! to those who don't hey c'est la vie..
Btw : yes, it's ala half pint, with the flock , but still the Panda can't Imo be bettered... Or trumped for that ironic matter....

I guess it won't matter unless the gallery calls me to purchase from registering interest. Seems to be two schools of thought here as well. It won't sell fast because of the price/image and it will because of the image and low #??

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by yorkie on Jan 16, 2017 22:33:52 GMT 1, You know - sometimes you look at an image and it makes an impact, other times you have to allow it to grow and I'm conscious that I'm working from the photos posted rather than seeing in the flesh but....
it doesnt do it for me. I don't think I like it! I cannot say exactly why and I get that we all need some 'phants' in our lives but just does not make my heart skip or my mind wonder or fill me with warmth.... actually thats it - I have no emotional connection with it at all.
Didn't even get to if its at a price point that I would think .... yes thats for me.
Sorry.... read all the comments and waited a couple of days before posting to see if my thoughts changed but no.

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by Dibbs 45 on Jan 16, 2017 22:44:21 GMT 1, Fall to Alms was a better image imo. Its simplicity and tone made it work. If this print however means something to someone then thats what its about. Like the above I wondered if it was a grower, but still no.

I'm just surprised he has such a following on an urban art board. He's got absolutely nothing to do with the scene at all, it's just curious that he's so regularly written about on here.

I think the simplicity of the OG, the black space around the child, was what made Nellephant stand out at S2, and its positioning at the far end of the walls was perfect to draw in the viewer.
But the more I look at the print, the more it looks overworked to me, it has lost exactly was so striking about the image.
Would be great to get some actual pics if anyone is going tomorrow

There's a mix of artists supported here that have either come from the street (self taught) or have had a proper art training and have nothing to do with the street, however are either edgy or not quite mainstream, or cross over. Many of these schooled artists come up through the same channels, printmaking galleries like Jealous etc. and it seems in many cases are working the edge by print releases, which is not done so often outside of this urban/street world.
Be interesting to list the assorted artists followed here by whether they have a fine art background (like Kaws, Peterson, Baker), no art background, or a graphic design background.

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by yorkie on Jan 18, 2017 20:22:13 GMT 1, My mate also registered interest in the 'paper' edition (I am keen to see it - even if I don't want one) and he did this about a week ago ... he emailed with his name, address and phone number and stated that he wanted to purchase one.
Given what NightHawk put I've asked if he got a response (he's not on this forum) his response made me laugh....
--------
"If it was a 50 dollar print that I was asking to purchase and the had fucking hundreds of them then I can imagine they would take some time! But to have no response from Louise at the Charming (not so fucking charming in my eyes) when I have my credit card ready to purchase is frankly piss poor service!
They either have had a load of people visit the opening and sold all at that time or she sees I'm an american and thought fuck you I'd rather sell these to british people. You should try and register interest and use your UK details i bet she would respond to you!
Worst thing is I've already got a frame in mind and want to put it in my son's room rather than that shit that Mr Brainwash did which he made me buy and frame (I did like her in the film though)...."
--------
He is of course referring to Harley from Suicide Squad.... actually I've seen the print and it looks good framed in his sons bedroom!
So .... long answer but he's not heard anything either!

Oh..... I may have to register interest too now - damn you!

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by Amber Halo on Jan 18, 2017 20:30:03 GMT 1, I figured the ones on wood would not last long. I don't think it's fair to characterize those as simply "prints," with Charming painting the background and the amount of other hand finishing involved.
ยฃ1,500 is certainly nothing to sneeze at for a pretty modestly-sized piece of artwork, but the Nellephant canvas was priced at ยฃ70,000.
I won't pretend to compare the two as equals. But the wood versions seemed to offer those Baker fans who can no longer afford his true originals with something at a fraction of the price, yet also having some of the artist's direct touch

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by Someones Brain on Jan 18, 2017 20:53:28 GMT 1, These Nellyphant prints are looking good even though I like other Baker prints better. Congrats to those who purchased one. I'm so glad I was able to purchase a Fall to Alms print when it was released two years ago. I really love that one. And with those new prices I'll probably won't have another chance to buy something hand-finished by Charming Baker.

I was not so keen on the paper one but that is possibly due to wood one being so good. I took a couple of pics but they look almost identical to the one corthina posted.

CHARMING BAKER 'NELLYPHANT', by yorkie on Jan 19, 2017 17:42:28 GMT 1, So, I called the gallery and guess what.... I am now the proud owner of one of the wood prints!
My mate got his call this morning on the paper one so he's happy.
When I spoke with the gallery they had 2 left of the paper ones (and were working down a list) and the wood had all sold!
Will frame exactly as per NightHawks picture..... actually looking forward to getting it now!
