Conor Harrington

[kahuna]

IMHO, this print is very disappointing given the stunning images Connor has produced recently.

[uac]

I love Conors painting style but where Neates work translates well through printed medium (as in giclee prints) rather than screen, i think conor would have been better to go for a giclee also.

I suppose the trend with the limited prints at the moment makes artists think they have to release prints when they work wont always translate as well. The other issue is that conors work is impressive in scale. The print in very large and with an image like this you would want a large border to display it correctly. 1.5m glazed frame? - I like the work but it has to be a very special print to justify a frame like that. IMHO

Well - I just went down to Laz for a look - to see one in the flesh, and I'm now the proud owner of one. (I really should't have - Im skint)

Fatal.

But, I've always wanted a Connor Harrington, and at this price - hard to turn down.

It's a massive print - very subdued colours.

oh - as someone asked earlier in the thread - it is signed.

How do you buy anything on the site? Do you phone them?

[waveydavey]

yes, you phone them

[funster]

Thanks, phoned them, spoke to a really friendly person and have now got my first CH ;D

[funster]

Oh, they also said they only had a few left, but obviously don't know how accurate that is

[colonelkurtz]

just phoned them and got one,

Really can't afford it but conor's style is totally different and i will never be able to afford an original!

Oh well!

[daley]

Yes it's a nice image. Quite subtle colours for Connor.

Is it a run of 50 becauise last print was of 100 and did not sell out? £750+vat is very expensive imo

[jfury]

£255.32 is ex VAT incl VAT and its £300.00

[reados]

read it carefully the price is pre vat

the silly tart, she didnt tell me is was inc vat - going to teabag her later

Class!!! Haven't heard that phrase for donkeys. ;D

I've been looking forward to this print but it's doing nothing for me and I'm a a fan of CH. Think I'll take the chance and wait and see what the hand finished ones look like and possibly buy that one.

Think I'm feeling much the same. Taking apart the image from the artist, I do like the image. But considering the strength of Conor's work, I wouldn't have pulled this one as to make as a print.

I'll take a big gamble and see if I can grab a hand-finished one and see if that adds a wow factor.

here is a hand finished one. Its great to have hand finishing by the artist, but I am not sure this adds much to the picture!

here is the un-hand finished one

On that one it doesn't...you are right....maybe there's a couple of gems in the 25?

a friend just cancelled their handfinished, so one has become available

I thought they weren't taking orders on these yet?

[Guest]

hand finished, what like tr, oh

[bonesy]

Im a fan of Conor's work but really not feeling this one, dont think its a good representation of his skills.

i dont know, just got told this, so dont shoot the messenger

*puts gun away* fair play... just wondering how this could being seeing as they are "not taking pre-orders"... not necessarily saying you're wrong.

[danvnuk]

Ok - sorry for the delay peeps - My Interweb connection imploded last night, here's the pics.....













Personally - I think its gorgeous, gonna be expensive to frame though.

[colonelkurtz]

ooohhh, i'm dribbling!

Can't wait to get mine. Looks like a seriously good screen print to me.

[danvnuk]

alsbabar said:

is that the handfinished@?

My pics? - no - its the Normal Screenprint.

[colonelkurtz]

How you gonna frame it danvuk? It's gonna a be a tricky one to get right, without destroying the bank balance. Free mounted .. lol

Danvnuk thanks loads for posting those. Last night I really was thinking I hadn't done the right thing buying one of those, now I've seen the better pics I mega excited again ;D Straight down to the framers for this one me thinks

I'm quite conservative in my framing tastes - probably a plain black frame - white or cream mount, don't really know till I take it in the Framers for a looksee.

Yep - not going to be cheap to frame thats for sure.

[becksaboo]

thanks for the pics. i'm a big fan of conor but i don't like the top of the head for some reason here, think it's a bit neate-like but not if you know what i mean.
