ART BASEL

We’re getting really excited about Art Basel here at Harvest Productions. Never been there before, but the BUZZ is becoming a drone.

In our excitement, we decided to make a contribution somehow, so we created art. We got together with a budding Pop artist, Elayne Rogers, for her contribution to the event. She submitted a unique piece, to be made as Toujours. Again, we’re pushing the envelope with the deliberate objective of expanding art reproduction milieu. Her original work was a cognitive drawing in felt pen. It’s kind of a moreau’ish, I can’t tell what she’s thinking of, but it looks cool in a pre-cognitive way. At any rate, we’re taking this original drawing and printing it on 1/8” acrylic. We’ve come back across the acrylic with white ink. Let me say that again. You can’t print art reproductions with white ink, but this one has been printed with white ink, which is necessary because we’re printing on a clear transparent material. Then we hand-pressed gold leaf to the back of the acrylic illuminating the drawing. Looks very unusual and I might say pleasing in a quirky way. At any rate, we compliment Ms. Rogers on her contribution to the show. They’re a limited edition of 32 signed and numbered by the artist. She and we will be giving them away during the course of the show. No, we don’t know who we’re giving them to and we also don’t know why, but if you see us in the show, ask for one. If we still have any of the thirty two left, we’ll hand it right over for your viewing and collecting pleasure. I think it’s a little piece of history.

p.s. below is a photo of the guy with the prints in his bag.
