Think it s doubtful we'll see anything in September........

  

[Ruggs]

I think it's most likely to be released sometime in October. I don't know anything, just guessing.

Nice
Shame about the great big border though, I will end up framing it out, along with the signature

[b4ne]

Looking forward to this. Is the date up jet?

[Ruggs]

Lovely! Ain't got a problem with the white margins. Bloody hope I can get one. Print of the year for me.

From Laz instagram:
Lazarides rounding off another busy week at Lazarides Editions studio, the Miaz Brothers flew in to London to sign their forthcoming print editions.

Hmmm, wonder if there's more than the one print edition!

I think they had either 2 or 3 in the works.

I will be sticking it straight into this frame with no white borders

Although I think it would much better printed to the edge with deckled paper like the Ian Francis prints.

Can't wait! Seems like it's been forever sense the news came out they they were working on a print.

[simonsion]

Hope the print does it like the canvas ., fingers crossed

Anyone know the medium - Is this an Archival Pigment Print, I am guessing it probably is, with 1 or more layers of varnish as I would have thought very difficult to screen?

Yep, I reckon archival pigment print on Somerset Satin 330gsm paper.

The print is huge. Almost the size as their canvas.

I'd guess that the image size (sans white border) is around 20x30inches.



Oh, and Aza, that looks fantastic!
Love it!

Fabien Castanier Gallery is proud to present Antimatter Series: Timeless, a solo exhibition by the Miaz Brothers. Timeless is an extension of the artists’ Antimatter Series which will once again focus on the artists’ unique form of portraiture. This exhibition will also mark the grand opening of the gallery’s second location in Bogotá, Colombia.

The Miaz Brothers offer a profound new take on conventional portrait painting. The Italian siblings work in tandem using layers of aerosol paint to create ghost-like canvases that are antithetical to the classical portrayal of the lone figure. The Antimatter Series, as their body of work is known, has incorporated a diverse range of subjects. The two installments of the series exhibited in Timeless are both haunting and ethereal representations of familiar faces, the first being the “Masters” series that utilizes figures from the Renaissance and other old world paintings. The second set is the latest by the artists – the “Friends” series – which includes more contemporary subjects.

In the “Friends” series the artists have transitioned to a monochromatic tonal palette, which pays homage to traditional black and white photography. However in contrast to photographic portraits, the Miaz Brothers venture to render an unsharpened image, a mere suggestion of the sitter’s form. As for the “Masters” series, the artists apply the same blurred technique with muted tones of blue, green, and brown to create dark extrapolations of Renaissance portrait paintings.

The brothers employ contextual titles as well as subtle changes in color and form to explore notions of perception rather than representation. The paintings are made up of a fragile haze of aerosol paint, layered to create only ideas of any human likeness and setting. By making such evasive portraits without portraying a real representation, the artists present the viewer with an exercise in memory and subjective understanding. The Miaz Brothers create paintings that defy epochs and activate the present viewer, allowing the audience to contemplate, as the artists suggest, “the transitory nature of existence”.

Sure this will be just as good as their recent Antimatter Series: A Boundless Vision exhibition at Lazarides Rathbone.

It's virtually the same work as the Laz show. The pdf was distributed several weeks ago:

I like the Miaz brothers work and came very close to buying a canvas at the Laz show, but surely this is what there work is and it will always virtually look the same?

[chichi carter]

Odd that they should include 2 canvases that were part of their 'Masters' show at Castanier Gallery in L.A. in 2014 (the ones at the beginning of the PDF). Not that they don't fit in. Compared to the show I just mentioned where it was all 'Masters' and the latest at Laz where it was all female subjects, mixing 'Masters' and 'Friends' makes this show look less cohesive to me. But it's still all part of the 'Antimatter' series so... Whatever. It's all good! Absolutely love their work nonetheless and would love to be able to attend.

Anyone heard anything?

Both look great, but I think I prefer this one.
