LAKWENA

[blerd]

Just in case the forum needs a break from the new £3.99 Banksy Sculpture. 🤓

Lakwena is a multimedia Artist that has painted prominent walls all over the world from Brooklyn, LA,Shoreditch, Tottenham and many places in between. She’s had Museum commissions and a lot of institutional support.

I love her style and thought. I’d share.

This has just been announced on Lakwena’s insta page:

I’m very excited to announce that my first published print will be launched through Jealous Gallery.

“The Best Is Yet To Come” will be available to preview, showing as part of their 10th Anniversary celebrations from tomorrow Thursday 13th.

Please visit the exhibition where further details on this very limited edition will be released, or register your interest with me to be added to the presale list before these are launched.

very cool. Jealous Gallery is always a pleasure to work with.
Thanks for the update

I love seeing public Art at this scale. Totally free, for everyone and enriching.

Hopefully it doesn't get tagged!

The transitory nature of painting walls is part of the joy as with life. A reminder that all good things come to an end.

I looked for it on there the other day but couldn't see it and then after looking at the Chris Levines last night I saw it was there but it was a bit more expensive than I expected it to be so decided to have a think about it while I got on with some other things. Think it's a lovely print and I like the walls she has been painting. Unfortunately in that time you posted it and they all sold!! Saved me a decision though! Obviously others didn't need as long as me to deliberate! lol

[shy]

that's the thing, hot prints just fly off the shelves. It's amazing how fast they just go! But almost just as fast they come up again on the secondary market, but at a much higher price!

I think it sold out shortly after I posted it here. A lot of people get information from here but never comment.

At the time I posted there was 10 left, I believe the rest might have been sold during the presale. Such a small edition of only 25 was never going to last long anyway.

I also deemed it too expensive at 395 as I have my eyes on a few other pieces at the moment, and managed to bag the We the Future release yesterday.

Very true, some joker listed a Levine on ebay at over 2k. Ridiculous.

I guess he is fishing for a sucker, considering the enormous price Levine's other print hauled in at auction.

I am still blown away at that staggering sale price?

This wall she’s doing in Las Vegas as part of Life is Beautiful Festival looks to be incredible.

Joakim Ojanen’s looks amazing too.

[caruso]

One auction result is not a trend, I would be cautious with Levine for now, although granted at 250 it's not a major purchase. Had one in my basket then decided against.

2K! Wow, good work if you can get it! Haha

Anybody have any frame ups of this they’d like to share? Looking for inspiration

[blerd]

(Neither mine)
The Black frame is the one that was auctioned at Bonhams.

Thanks!
I like that bottom, white frame-up.
I’d missed that Bonhams result too.

Quite well! Just under $1500usd after premium. Price at release was almost $550 I believe

Lakwena has put out another work, to support UN Women UK's Covid response.
