Kenji Hoshi 🇯🇵 Painting • Show News • Art For Sale

[Bruggs]

I know I will regret posting this because I haven't picked out the ones I want yet, but Kenji is now shipping to the USA. He sent me an email this morning.

[mrgrey]

just ordered a piece of him a couple of days ago, can't wait to receive it!

[mrgrey]

Just received my piece today. Really amazing. Friendly guy to deal with and the art was really well packed. Even got an little work thrown in as extra.

At first glance the work looks simple but op close its immensely complex and skillful.

This canvas just arrived and included this extra piece on paper as a gift.
So great to deal with, friendly and efficient. Plus packed incredibly well...it looks like Mr Doodle could learn a thing or two!

hi all! i bought a couple of Kenji pieces as well. we were going to put them side by side but now i regret getting one w a gray background and one w a white. having said that i am looking to sell the one with the gray background to grab one w a matching white. just got them 2 weeks ago and had my framer put a floating frame on it. i am just looking to get cost to buy a different one. please let me know if interested and open to offers. he gave me a discount for buying multiple but the original price for this was $360 plus shipping and the freight was $30. the floating frame was $110. open to offers as i would like to recoup as much as i can. DM me if interested. this is 16.1"x12.6" plus the frame

To pjc as well

He sent me a message today: 

"I will close my Etsy shop until the end of this month to focus on making my art."

So no worries. There will be more in November. 
I guess he is too busy packing stuff lately.  

[Dive Jedi]

Since size does matter, I got myself a bigger Kenji !
41 x 32 cm on the way.

Love his work but dont have any yet. I always thought he painted on glass. On first glance it looks so simple but then it makes you think. Any advice on collecting/buying as I see he isnt selling on his main site? Cheers.

Here you go

Cheers. Seen someone mention etsy so took a look. Is that the only place he now sells and do you know if he is shipping to UK? Thanks.

Was last time I checked. Still shows as a delivery option so assume so

I’ve just been introduced to this artist. Love the work and the depth is insane!

[Erik Ibiza]

My Kenji just arrived.
It's amazing. Pics truly can't show the depth and the colors. Came with a little extra work on paper as a gift.

Hi guys,

Could I get some advice?

Is there any difference in how they look on paper or canvas? OR is it just down to personal choice/cost?

Secondly, the 3d effect looks good from the pictures. Does it actually feel like the paint strokes/blobs are floating once you've framed it?

Thanks in advance

Its seems crazy but they look the same in person.
They are all real photos he uses of the work

If anything they look better in person.

I prefer canvas, since you can hang them without framing.
But both looks very nice and the floating effect is the same.

Once you buy one, you'll probably get a few more.

Cheers guys, contacted Kenji and as you say super nice guy and got a canvas on order. Can’t wait to see it in person

Thanks Jedi, FR etc. Just bought a couple today. Will post pics once they arrive.

Thanks guys - pulled the trigger on this stunner!

Kenji’s sales continue to tick up on Etsy. Looks like he as raised prices 10-20% in last month given the demand. My first 2 pieces have arrived in U.K., hopefully they don’t get stuck in a warehouse for weeks. He has been very pro-active managing the transport which is refreshing.

Can’t wait to see these in person.

So is anyone going to share pictures of their framed pieces on paper? (Or anyone who framed their canvas (yes I've seen a couple of those in the thread)).

Weighing up whether I want to get the small freebie paper one I got framed, so keen to see how others look...
