When should we expect the pdf?

This week would be nice! Preferably before Thursday! Should have received the pieces for the show as they were shipped last week

Fingers crossed, the works should be at the gallery tomorrow afternoon. We then need to shoot and catalogue them, so please bear with us.

Ignore the ugly dude in front of the pieces! (On the way to the uk right now, enjoying a kind layover, thanks Delta!)

Did anyone go?

[bjornca]

Does anyone have the PDF? Have asked for it from Outsiders, but have not received.

Edit: Have now received, thanks.

Yeah I made the journey. The art looked a lot better than in the pdf very strong, and it was great to be able to have spoken to Jason at length.
Also picked up a nice unique piece that hadn't been included in the pdf for an extremely good price which was a very nice touch for such a long trip!

Congrats.  You'll have to post a pic (unless I missed it in another thread).

Yes, and it was well worth it just to see the texture and detail in the paintings. It was also great to meet Jason, who was in attendance too. The use of resin and tar as part of the artistic process was particularly impressive and visually striking, as was the bold manner in which the pieces were presented. As @araplatoon has suggested, the pdf simply doesn't adequately do the works justice. So if you are thinking about it, just go and see for yourself. For a debut solo exhibition this was a very strong outing indeed. The stylistically diverse nature of the works, rather than being jarring, only served to emphasise Jason's talent and the potential he has. It was also an extra to have music specially created by Jason for some of the pieces on show.

Amazing work mate!

[LAZARIDES]

[jim]

very cool.

[JAlternatión]

Absolutely stunning... hoping to see that print release sometime soon!

[Happy Shopper]

Lovely looking work.... but I'm curious about the cosmonaut pieces... the likeness to Jeremy Geddes puts me off buying anything!
Not just the crusified pose, but the other piece, looking down on the cosmonaut, too... The exact same poses.
Same source material, or a naughty bit of "inspiration" ??

Thanks for you feedback! It's tough with cosmonauts as Jeremy truly is the king of them, they're based off the same source imagery which is a retro Russian cosmonaut suit, both, the crucified poses of them has a deeper meaning which ties in the theme of the show, feel free to DM if you'd like some more background on the pieces or any questions. Thanks !

couldn't make it up last night but will defo be checking this over the next couple of weeks, lovely stuff =]

Here are a couple of pictures of the two unique screenprints that were added on the day of the show. Both are an edition of one heavily hand painted by Jason (pretty sure the paint was still wet!!)

Sorry for the poor quality and funny angle!

Yeah missed out on one of those as I got my days mixed up :-(

Would you address why you chose to do the cosmonaut pieces given the work of Geddes? I too was planning on purchasing a piece and had been eagerly watching my inbox for the pdf to buy 004|400 but when I saw the cosmonauts as much as I had my heart set on acquiring it I decided to pass. I only mean to encourage a constructive conversation.

if You were interested in purchasing the cosmonauts and wanted background on them I would have no issue explaining my connection with them, now the 004|400 piece has nothing at all to do with that. I don't feel the need to publicly explain why or why not I choose to paint what I paint. I appreciate you "encouraging to turn this into a constructive conversation" but from an artists stand point some things are more personal to me and I choose to share directly with the collector of the piece, as those who attended yesterday and purchased pieces can vouch for, it makes it a lot more personal and special for them as it does for me. Either way thank you for your feedback and it is something I will definitely consider in the future

Just saw this on the outsiders website and it got me googling. Really like it.

I'd like to hear what the music sounds like as well

[sky8888]

To the other comments above.. Maybe it's kind of like art hip hop.. It feels like there's elements of harringtons fight club style and maybe the borf/Rothko.. But the images are fresh as a whole with their own identity and it's cohesive as a collection too

if kanye west was a painter this is probably what it would be like (complete with musical pieces to match)

Thank you! I'll be working on getting the music online once I'm back in the states.
