Paco Pomet 🇪🇸 Granada, Spain • New Paintings

[Acme Thunderer]

It’s not sold out on the UK website which surprised me. I passed on this (even though I like Paco Pomet) as couldn’t imagine it on my wall.

[StickOut]

Morning, all sorted and got mine on its way My order through the UK site got refunded but I was able to pick one up now that the CMWilliams website has been updated. 

[User Error]

Can anyone explain to me what the varnish does for the print?

I grabbed on of these yesterday as well yesterday - Pomet's prints can lean a little to the strange side for me, but this one I think will look really nice framed up with a dark mat and dark frame to really make the light pop.

User Error - typically varnish is applied to a print to enhance the vibrancy of colors, making brights/lights brighter and darks/shadow darker. It also helps reduce glare.

Just three left on the UK quota should anyone be thinking about pulling the trigger. Free shipping from House of Pomet on all UK orders

[artman247]

Got one too!

I'm not sure about the image itself but the message is a strong one. I think his strongest works are the ones where he casts the colour on people/objects in the light source's path. Really interesting effect.

Just had my print delivered to Australia. The print quality is awesome, it looks like there’s actually brush strokes on the paper. Glad I managed to scoop one up!

Received my Pomet print today and unfortunately it did arrive well. The shipping tube was too small, leaving only a few cm of room for the print, which apparently was bent when the end cap was added. In addition, I was surprised to see that only a thin sheet of acid free paper was used to protect the print, and for mine, it look like it was a left over, torn piece.

It wasn't an overly expensive piece, but I'm surprised at the lack of care in shipping.

For anyone else that purchased, were there any similar issues? I of course plan on reaching out to CM Walter (who was very responsive during the sale), but wanted to see if this was a widespread or one-off issue.

Thx!

Received mine yesterday without any problems. I had a large and big tube and the print looks beautiful. Also ordered with CM Walters directly.

[artman247]

Ordered on House of Pomet and arrived yesterday too in a giant tube. All arrived fine and print looks simply amazing. It really does feel like there are actual brushstrokes. Now to hunt for a nice frame.

[Someone Like You]

Mine is arrived safe and in a perfect condition, I love it is beautiful, when framed please condivide pic.

[Buff Monster Fan]

Thank you all - agreed that the print looks amazing and very happy to hear that yours arrived safely. Hopefully I can find a resolution with CM Walters for a replacement.

Cheers!

Mine just arrived. All beat up on the edges, half a piece of tissue paper not big enough for the print, with no padding inside tube and a 4" Gap where it easily slid back and forth causing damage.

Really poor packaging. 0 Effort in securing it. Not sure what happened here.

That’s odd. Mine arrived about a week ago in a big solid tube with loads of padding each end and honestly it was rolled in about 10m of paper.

Yours will have come from House of Pomet. Inknarts would have come from Spain via Christian. Never heard any complaints or damage from Christians side of things but there’s a first for everything. If you contact Christian it’ll be replaced Inknart.

Thanks! Already emailed. Like i said, was a little taken aback. Have purchased a few paco's including the large internacional with no issue. All should be sorted. Very lovely print. The texture of the paper really adds to the the supposed depth of an original. 

[ollie123]

Mines got some thumb indentations I’m attempting to flatten out I get that the paper is fine but it’s just not cricket if it was more expensive I’d be causing more of a fuss but it should flatten out.
Still such a great image!

[artman247]

Update now it’s framed. Put it next to a nearby lamp and the light cast from the lamp really adds to the Pomet effect. Really love it.

Mine arrived in a small tube as well with the edges bent and a very poor print protection cover. I contacted the vendor, was told to send pictures and they will take care of it. I am still waiting to hear from CW screenprintmaking.

[Buff Monster Fan]

I'm sorry to hear that. For me, they did respond and ask that I send them a few things - after sharing pictures of the damage, they asked that I cut out the signature, the print number and a piece of the image itself and send it to them along with the COA. I've done so am waiting for them to receive that, then send a new print. 

Good luck to you!

[Buff Monster Fan]

I wanted to provide a brief update here. I ended up getting a beautiful, undamaged new print from CM Walter - they were a pleasure to work with. In addition, I just received a small "sorry for the inconvenience" mini print in the mail from Christian and team. A super nice gesture from CMW!

[Wanchope]

Damn I love this print and I keep finding more and more of paco’s pieces and I’m stunned at the skills and complete unique style! Will be getting mine framed too!!

[arthurglass]

If anybody has buyer's remorse with the festive season upon us PM me and I will take it off your hands

I also received a damaged print which was promptly replaced by CM Walter. A real pleasure to deal with this company.

Indeed, Paco Pomet's work is rather distinctive.


I am a fan of the artist's pared-down, often-monochromatic palette.

Likewise with his choices of imagery:

-  frequent references or allusions to bygone days;
-  thoughtful explorations of the surreal, the uncanny, the absurd; and
-  an embrace of whimsy and humour.

It is perhaps the latter, knowingly playful nature of Pomet's art that I appreciate most.


There is always more fun to be had when we retain our sense of playfulness.

[Wanchope]

Thanks for sharing those pics met, a lot I haven’t seen before, but like you I love the colours used, but also the whimsical side to the pieces. I almost see some Dali crossed with Norman Rockwell in his works. So glad I came across him.

No worries, Wanchope.

And just a smidgen of friendly teasing on my part.

Do check out the American artist, Mark Tansey.
