bizarre that jboys hutch gets 2 pages of discussion while the real art is ignored....

Wasn't ignored. Just happened 3 weeks ago.

I think it's lovely stuff - but also feel like I have been spoiled by seeing Herakut first, as the duo together are amazing.

good!

missed that first time round

[sahoria]

stunning...beautiful art piece.... really do like... hera has done fantastic job doubt these will be around for long.... that image is my fav of the lot have to say... love the use of colors and think in person there will be so much more detail....s

[robotoil]

I think it's a very nice piece of art and yet I wouldn't want to look at that sadness every day. I want a piece but I haven't found the right one yet.

[Heavyconsumer]

She's very talented, but as a duo their work offers so much more depth. There were only one or two pieces from her solo show that really pushed my buttons, but nothing that I was crazy about to be honest. Quite a lot of their joint efforts have had me marvelling at my Sony LCD screen, even some of those I'm not so keen on. They are much more compelling imo.

[weeble]

Sorry if it was a dupe thread, just came across it last night. She's got some serious talent. Would love to see her in action.

Does anyone know whether her figures such as this one above, are portraits based on real people, family and friends and such, or are they 'characters'?

[Rourke]

Very brilliant, love it

I see where you're coming from - there is a real haunting quality to her work. However i couldn't resist and got this one...



i'll post better photos when it arrives. I really liked nine lives too

[angryboy]

Bad timing for me just after the Faile release.

Need to get one (or a HErakut) at some point though, original that is.

[sahoria]

I got nine lives in the end... very happy... think is edition of 5? not fully sure as last night gave quantity list of 5 but truth looks stunning...all hand done so fantastic and kim is always nice person to speak too!...congrats jake kenny on your art piece aswell...the red nine lives i am sure will look really stunning in person...

no idea when the show will finish though so might have to wait few weeks for this one but sure will be worth the wait!..s

Are they not 1/1?

[sahoria]

possibly could have been error on the upperplayground site... could have just listed quantity of 5... i love the image to be honest and reason i got... will find out later from kim if was mistake on site... possibly more thinking about it, would be of one... dont think would have done same image 5 times...s

[jakek]

they're all originals - i think if there had been more than one colourway we'd have seen photos and they'd been for sale. You've got yourself a beaut of an original there! (at a decent price i think)

[sahoria]

like your one aswell to be honest jakekenny, 9 lives just stood out when i looked and your right the price is fantastic.. think maybe issue with there site? just checked to add your one into my basket and came up with error... even better news it is 1/1 thought was 1/5...

personally think beautiful art pieces... lets hope it arrives in one piece! any idea when the show is ending?? ...s

i think the show is due to end 24th July - i can't wait to get my piece! (i have a couple of herakuts on their way now too from different shows that have just ended)

[sahoria]

will be my first hera art piece so excited to get...cant wait! 24th july will mark on the calender..lol..s

[Bram]

I quite like the fact that there is only one style, opinions, ideas, etc etc. They may tell us where the Kut ends and the Hera starts.

[sahoria]

possibly bram...both talented in there own right... nice to see through hera work and then see them both together aswell... going to make sure someone is in when this arrives... just hope not working away from home that week...s

[Coach]

I think these are beautiful. If it hadn't been for the Faile release I would have bought one like a shot. Nine lives is my favorite, so well done for picking that beauty up.
If my Faile purchase falls tho' (still no invoice for first round win - gulp), I will be gutted cos would def have bought Nine Lives when I first saw it.
I agree it is great to see Hera's solo work.

[sahoria]

Thanks coach - really looking forward to receiving at some point... had tax bill come through aswell but put aside for something special and think this is it... there are two other artists hoping to get pieces from soon so cant wait! truthfully there was alot of great art pieces by hera and nice that they can both still do that.. fantastic artwork together but think sometimes we miss when they are seperate also.. nice to mix and match...s

[rkitek]

Since I missed out on the Faile release as well, I picked up this nice little canvas from the show:

Gorgeous.

[sahoria]

cant believe missed out on so much of hera / kut work... rkitek amazing choice you made there... must have looked so stunning to see in person...shame couldnt have made it to the show but nice that you actually went and had time to look at all the art pieces together before they end up going to different places/countries...very pleased for you...s

[Bram]

Yep, I agree with coach, that's a is gorgeous. On the photo it looks more like wood than canvas. I love that rustic feel to her pieces. There is also a bit of sweet and sour aspect to this one.

[rkitek]

Thanks guys. I wasn't able to make it to the show myself but fortunately Kimberly at Upper Playground/Fifty 24SF was kind enough to send me some additional photos. This is actually her photo from the show.

I'll post some of my own once I get the piece.

[sahoria]

agree with you there bram...looks like same character what is used for nine lives... i seen the art piece on this thread and had to get... dont know to much history of herakut but for artistic skill amazing...s
