Can someone kindly give me a code if they have spare?



Much appreciated as always fellow UAAers



Beautiful print/painting from Ayako.

[Stripe]

Best release of the year imo. Fantastic value for a beautiful image.

The discount for first time buyers is appreciated!

[0shima]

 To be honest i appreciate. I had a good experience each times ! No bad surprise.
I'll order this print because you offer us this great opprtunity to own an ayako rokkaku art works.
Not sure if 120€ worth a delivery in Eu for a print but ok i could understand

[mitboi]

anyone got an unused code to share? a friend is looking to buy. thanks in advance!

[Bamboo Charcoal]

I am also looking for a code if anyone have one to offer. Thank you in advance.

[pjeroen]

The painting turned out nice!!

I have a discount code to share with the first one who sends me a PM.

(Code will only work for new customers and only works once.)

Code is gone!

troika49 was the first to send me a PM.

[troika49]

PMed.

Thanks for being so generous whether I get it or not.

You are a scholar!

I love the print will hang it up isn’t that the point of art to love it and not worrying about buying it too just to flip it?

@grumpyfish Stamping has actually always been part of her practice. She uses signing and stamping interchangeably. So far she has only stamped originals, so this will be the first time she’s ever used her signature stamp on a print. For an idea of what it looks like this is an example of her signature stamp on an original work

Will the stamp be placed by the Artist herself or by the printers? I’m on the fence with this one, looks really good.

I am also looking for the discout code in case someone has one left by any chance. Thank you in advance!

edit: got one

Last minute request for a code if anyone has one unused please ?

It will be a great edition. Who gets the original ! ??

[mushi]

Original won't be for sale.

I'm also looking for a code, thanks for the gesture !

[apprint]

Works is very nice, It will be over 5000 of those by now

I will said 5000-6000 total edition

[krip88]

Over 5000? That's a lot 😄 Still deciding on purchase. Maybe will flip a coin in the end.

According to my research around 3000-3200 sold so far Given the price is very reasonable, you could not expect it to be much lower. 
with 20 minutes to go, i find it unlikely it will end up above 4k.

[krip88]

Thanks Pawel, price is indeed reasonable. Difficult but in the end decided to pass on this one and wait for a set edition sized release in the future. For those who bought it (with or without discount) enjoy!

[troika49]

A few people have asked me for a code and I never received one with my purchase.

Does it come in a separate email?

[fm1975]

They stopped sending codes after a few hours.
Dont understand why, i finally passed.

I would love to buy one but I don't have the code.
Why should I pay 100€ more than the others?
It's unfair, just a privilege, it's ugly...

I think you're being rather unkind here.  

No one has a right to a discount code.  Galleries give these out to their special customers.  

You are not entitled to a code just because someone else gets one.   

[its all about me]

It's a shame everyone seems to be talking about the price and the discount code. Understandable I guess but is there anyone who would like to chat about the actual art?

[Black Wolf]

this will be close to 3k editions editions editions editions editions editions editions

amazing price and work!

[Gunny]

I am going massive on this - great size, quality paper, nice image, good price, artist is flying - 7000 is my guess

[Ace]

Once the edition size is defined, would it be possible to get a % of the size per country? It is just a curiosity to understand the collectors base, as I’ve see the most been sent to Japan and Korea, some to UK and Italy.

It is just a personal curiosity but I think many members on this forum would also be interested.


thank you

I'm thinking float mounted (if possible at this size) in a white washed light wood frame. An inch or so clearance around the image. Can't wait to see it but also not looking forward to the framing bill!

[kjg]

I think that is because most people are only interested in the monetary value of this piece. But maybe I am totally wrong and most buyers will frame it and hang it proudly on their walls. Hopefully in a few months there will be some pictures of framed prints in this thread.

I tried and tried to see something positive and attractive in this print, but unfortunately it didn't work out for me. I read a few articles on Rokkaku and took a look at other prints and originals she made. I felt no arty spark at all. So, I have to be honest: I would never buy her work, have it framed and then hung.

Maybe it could be something for a nursery? But my daughter is 17 years old and prefers to hang posters of Harry Styles. And I actually have to agree with her. Again, that's my opinion.

I am looking forward to other views though, because maybe I am totally missing the point in her work.

Finally, I've been hesitant about asking, I love the fact that she's "self taught" and is making in-roads into the art establishment, but really struggle to see where this fits in the grand scheme of things beyond Japan's "cute" culture and phenomenon of hyper consumerism. There seems to be this desire to escape from the reality of very conformist and stringent social rules in Japan, which makes sense that this Kawaii culture developed, parrallels to rave culture developing under Thatcherism or the response of the underclass in Detroit in creating Techno or Hip Hop growing out of the Bronx. But all of those movements and forms took decades to develop before slowly bleeding into mainstream commercial culture. This process seems to have been massively accelerated, where the market now leads. And we try desperately to create the counter culture value and relevance after the fact in a very "add on" top down manner. I'm not sure if or how or even if this should or could be sustainable. I guess that's not the point though. But it all seems a little too disposable, like at some point this FOMO candyfloss will meet the water and there won't be very much substance left.

Well, i enjoyed watching her. Live streaming is interesting as we can follow her process while painting such as her choices regarding colour palette or the amount of time used to develop each or other parts of the canvas.

A very "tactile" performance, i feel like i understand a bit more why she likes to paint this way.

I like the piece of course, but i kinda bought it for the souvenir of the performance, especially at that price.

A bit disappointed the video was muted but i understand why it was.

[rick523]

Y'all are giving Avant Arte a hard time about a stamp vs signature. They gave you the answer that stamps and signatures are interchangeable in many Asian cultures plus this is the first print the artist intends on using a stamp that has been reserved for originals. Be nice; don't be a dick - they don't have to participate on UAA.

I purchased the print and look forward to hanging it on my wall and I didn't use the code for a discount. I have made one other purchase from Avant Arte the Parra print When the Smoke Clears. The overall presentation and packing were second to none. They do an amazing job.

If you missed this print, too bad.

Same, I really loved watching the process and the final image unfold over the day.

The video had sound for me, just had to turn up the volume a little... they were playing music in the background!
