Very cool, thanks for sharing.

Looking fwd to the preview!

Works have become darker. Prefer the works  from the combined show with Sainer.

[nex]

I love this darker direction and a couple of these pieces start to properly move away from the 'cutesy' direction Bezt often veers towards. Too expensive though, unfortunately.

[saint]

I prefer Zippys avialable canvas to any of these, if I wanted another Bezt painting I’d be going for his. These are just a little dark for my walls.

Still stunning work, he’s an incredible painter.

[Chrisp]

Saw the PDF last night, really like them all. Great art works from Bezt. Also looking forward to Sainers later in the year.

[delano]

Love these.

What were the prices?

Thanks mate. Appreciated 👍🏻

Installation pics, absolutely stunning work. Jpgs really don't do these paintings justice, hope to see some forum members at the opening tomorrow night!

Thanks for the pictures Ken. Are you with Spoke or Thinkspace?

He's with Spoke/Hashimoto.

Colours look a lot more vibrant in your pics Ken, thanks for sharing.

[treweman]

I agree, thanks for the photos, Ken. Some of the early jpegs made the colors in the paintings look dull and hard to see, but your photos seem to have corrected most of that. Like Nex, I much prefer less cutesy images (using his term). To me, it is odd that one of the paintings not sold is The Other Side of the Carpet, which is just terrific. I might have added it to my collection if it had been a little less expensive. In truth, I don’t think that prices are too high, but rather the show pieces are extremely large and prices reflect this. The Other Side of the Carpet is 63” by 39.3,” which would make it one of the largest pieces of art that I own if I were to acquire it.

In the wee hours of the morning, after drinking a bit of scotch and thinking long and hard about it, I arranged to buy the original sketch Together We Will Live Forever. Not quite as large and expensive as the acrylic paintings, and I am very drawn to the image. I’ve seen photos of the print, and as much as I like ink sketches, I like the overall look of the print almost as much. The choice of colors is wonderful.

[Warm Gun]

Two of my favourite pieces are still available, 'Bad Ideas' and 'The other side of the carpet', both fantastic pieces imo.

[saint]

“The other side of the carpet” is my favourite

I agree, just out of my price range.

And an ugly update. Apparently both Spoke Art and Thinkspace sold the sketch in the wee hours of the morning, and my time stamp made me the second buyer. So, I’m not getting the piece. Rather bummed. Andrew at Thinkspace couldn’t have been any nicer about it. He promised me an AP of the print, and said he owes me, which is serious consolation for an honest mistake. In truth, my biggest regret is that I love the image and the price was exceptional for an OG by Bezt. Oh well. I will frame the shit out of that print and enjoy it until I can score an original.

Prints are now live on the Spoke site, thanks to everyone who's picked up a print today!! Here are a couple detail photos of all three prints, they're all stunning in person.

[soulseeker]

As a mega fan of Bezt's work, thanks for the updated pics of the prints, Ken. They are lush! Had already purchased the 'Forever' print - was waiting for that one, it's a dark beauty indeed. Now sorely tempted by 'Four Seconds', too!

Would've loved to have been able to purchase the painting 'Other Side of The Carpet' - but was out of my price range. Congrats to whoever got their hands on that stunner!

[Ken Hashimoto]

Big thanks to everyone who came through the BEZT show on opening night and throughout the run. Only one week left, so if you're in the NYC area and want to catch it in person, please visit us before the show comes down on November 5th!

Here are some pics for those of you who can't make it!

Happy New Year all! "Other Side of the Game" is available again after the worst experience ever. Also have a copy of the show print "Galimatias" from their sold out 2015 show at ThinkSpace in LA. I would like to sell both prints together for $1000. Lastly, I do have one more copy of "Moonshine", but for full transparency sake I am not going to part with it unless someone offers me a trade or price I can't refuse. Thanks for looking.

[rodgro]

Apologies, I forgot to include details about "Galimatias". Its 29" x 30.5" and is a screen print edition of 75. Its been housed in an archival sleeve in my flat file since I returned from the show. Amazing print with incredible color palate but I am running out of space and want someone to enjoy it.

Apologies all, I probably should have started a new thread instead of using this old one as I think it confused people, but I’ll give it one more go before deleting and starting over. Here is what’s available.
1. “Other Side of the Game” is available at original price of $500. It was sold but after a complete nightmare with a member I won’t name it is available again. Amazing super rare print of arguably one of Sainer’s most saufgtcafter paintings. I should ask more but I’ll stick to my original price. Details of print above in thread.
2. “Moonshine”. Arguably one of their most known/well liked prints. Originated from a mural in Richmond Virginia. Print sold out in seconds and is incredibly hard to find. I had two of these prints as I helped to produce them. I sold the original one posted in this thread for $500, but I am not letting my last remaining copy go for that price. I’m not a fan of “make me an offer” as I believe most everyone has an idea of what they would like for a piece, but in this rare case please make me an offer on my last remaining “Moonshine” print. I’m not selling it for $500 but I also don’t expect to get a $1000 for it so take that for what it’s worth and make me an offer I can’t refuse. Details of print above in thread.
3. “Galimatias” $400. Details of print above in thread.

All three prints have been kept in archival sleeves in flat file drawer and handled with archival gloves. PayPal fees and shipping ($20 per print) is at buyers expense. Thanks for looking.

[rodgro]

Moonshine is now SOLD! Any other interest in the remaining two prints? Lots of “is it available, if so I’ll take it” but suddenly go quiet when it’s time to pay...strange how that seems to go on here
