Banging them out aren't they.

The new ones are so similar to the previous releases.

Yeah, I see what you mean, but then again, its his style, isn't it? Nothing wrong with that.

I disagree completely. There's a difference between different works in a similar style and almost exact copies with small changes.

Wont be going for this, HG gallery are a joke and the print quality of the last was so poor wouldnt take the risk.

[slevin]

Was interested in picking up a print by him but the mixed reviews are putting me off

[barcakent]

The release date has been pushed from 18 to 24 of January.

[nighthawk]

Problems again...already? I agree, love his works! But all this negative talk re: HG gallery has put me off as well

[nighthawk]

Ugh! So disappointing as I think Mehdi is a pure talent! I wonder why he continues to work with them? I'm guessing contract obligations at this point?

I'm not going for this myself - but if you like the image and are interested enough to buy it, make your own mind up and don't be swayed by others.

As the release has been put back, you could always call the gallery to allay your fears and make your mind up from there. Given that once issued these tend to disappear quite quickly - you either need to be in it to get one or opt out having made an informed decision. Good luck whatever you decide.

I think that Mehdi is extremely talented too but am curious as to your "guess" about contractual obligations. What exactly do you mean?

[nighthawk]

Contractual obligations: meaning that Mehdi is tied to HGG for a period of time, and/or they have an agreed upon number of prints that they will release together.

[Dungle]

It's quite clear that there are many with an axe to grind against HGG.
You are entitled to your opinions. My opinion is they have only been great to work with.

This thread is about Mehdi though and it seems unfair to him to bash the thead with heresay.

Make your own opinions of the piece and stop just slagging the gallery off.

... it might be better to wait until the print is released, before anymore comments on what the (unknown) quality is like.

There are lots of Galleries that people have had bad experiences with ... I've read enough stories about Laz and one or two others ... but others have had good experiences with them ...

... this Thread is about an artists work, shall we try and keep it on topic ...

lol i have an axe to grind. but then who wouldn't. i found the guy for them, then worked on the show for 15 days and never got paid for any of it. Gentlemans agreements eh. not worth the paper they aren't written on when your dealing with Mr HG

that said, they dropped prints and just sent them out, or mailed saying thats what they were doing. and then the last prints were s**t quality. As is this one by the looks of it. 

great artist no mistaking that, but a truly s**t gallery ethic without any doubt. 

As I've said before if you are owed money for work done then of course you should be paid it.

I just don't think it's right that on every thread featuring an artist that HGG represent that it turns into a negative thread immediately.

For what it's worth I think the Mehdi prints have been great, bar what was a pretty calamitous final release, but that was due to a lot of reasons many out of HGG's hands.

Anyway I just think people need to receive a balanced view as it's very easy for people to slag off on the Internet without any comeback. (I'm not talking about you there Tartarus)

The print on the left anyone? ;-)

So you think that Mehdi is probably "tied" to an agreement that he cannot get out of, and but for this contractual obligation, he would have left the HGG?

Not knowing the terms of the agreement, or what the artist's working relationship with the gallery is like, I am not sure how you have deduced that. What reason/s do you suggest that he would have to leave the HGG? (You don't have to answer) If nothing is of his own wrongdoing, then how would he be "tied" to the agreement? Equally the insinuations that abound in this thread would lead me to the same conclusion, namely that Mehdi would be in the driving seat and could decide whether to affirm or terminate the contract and claim damages.  

That does not appear to have happened....

[nighthawk]

Let's be clear here; everyone seems to like Mehdi's works (myself included), and this print looks great! That being said, why is it not ok to discuss the gallery who is in charge of producing the print(s), especially when they seemed to have botched the last print release in more ways than one!? urbanartassociation.com/thread/132286/mehdi-ghadyanloo-print-august-15th

mutatis , I said that I was "guessing" that he had a contractural obligation with HGG, as most artists who I've chatted with, do in-fact have contracts with the galleries they work with. 
I jumped the gun on the "I wonder why he continues to work with them" comment, especially if the last print release was the only issue(s) they've had. It just stuck out for me, that's all. I sincerely hope that this release goes off without a hitch, and that the print(s) looks top notch!

[Deleted]

totally agree with you, great artist terrible gallery. Wont buy any of Mehdi's work until they part.

I bet they're quaking in their boots.

Yet more rhetoric from you with no evidence. Just because you continue to say something doesn't make it right.

Please enlighten as to why HGG are a 'joke' and 'terrible'.

No problem - that there would be a contract was a given - it was the assumption that he was "tied" ...

Have to wait and see, but fingers crossed for a perfect print

[Dibbs 45]

I know there were some problems on the last print which the gallery acknowledged with an email to everyone who purchased, and highlighted that lessons were learnt etc and gave refunds (me included) So hopefully this time it will be better and the fact that they are shipping this week is an improvement already as there is not the long wait like last time. I understand that tartarus has an issue with the gallery which he needs to take up with the gallery and like anyone dealing with a gallery that is not happy. Like to see these when people receive them as I like the artists work.
