  • UK Artist Govinder Nazran sadly passes away – December 2008

    It is with great sadness that we report that the UK Artist Govinder Nazran passed away over the Christmas period, I believe on Christmas Day.

    I thoughts and prayers are with his family at this difficult time.

    It is very sad that an artist whose work brought so much joy to so many, died at such a young age.

    I found some lovely words by the artist, where he talks about what inspires his paintings, I read them and it comforted me somewhat to know how caring a person he was: (click here:) Govinder Nazran Biography

    I also included pictures of his 2 winter 2008 releases so you can see some of the colourfulness of his work:

  • Salvador Dali – Exclusive limited edition prints & sculptures

    I have had a lot of emails from people who have simply adored the exclusive Dali Limited Edition prints and sculptures I blogged about back in Feb 2008 and where unaware something of this quality was available to buy.

    The sheer size of the prints (all are 21 inches wide x 29.25 inches tall, that excludes the mounting/ matting which make them even bigger) and the quality of the reproduction of these serigraphs, has truly impressed people. The detail that has gone into recreating his famous characters into sculpture form has simply blown the public away – judging by all the emails I have received.

    The positive feedback has been tremendous and I never realised how lasting the appeal of Salvador Dali and his work is.

  • UK artist Steven Binks – Releases the ‘Doe-130’ Tractor print

    Steven Binks has been working hard as of late and has produced a number of new limited edition pieces featuring vintage Tractors.

    His latest piece for October 2008 is the ‘Doe-130’:

    We have spoken to Steven and he gave us an insight into the Doe-130 tractor in the painting:

    “The Fordson Major tractor [made by Ford] ceased production in 1964 and the Ford Pre-Force was introduced in 1965. Ernest Doe carried on with production using the direct replacement – the Ford 5000. These had more horsepower than the old Fordson, so the two new “5000” bolted together gave 130 horse power – so more H.P. and a new tractor – hence a new name: “DOE 130″.

    This was of course still the same concept – 2 tractors bolted together to create four wheel drive.”

    Thank you
