Nice find Sleep. I completely forgot about Gedes - Found his work years ago in Australia. The new work looks great. I'll try to find some older images and post.

Yeah, he's a monster. That collector I profiled a bit back, Gregg Spatz, on SH has a few of his works. Pretty much only does commissions as hit him up a couple times in the past for shows. SO good.

I just discovered Jeremy's work a few weeks ago on expresso beans. Here's a picture of one of this prints framed which is not mine by the way.

I love it! I hope to see more from him this year, maybe even a solo show? I'm not sure where he's based or if he's done many shows in the past but I'd love to see his work in person.

I absolutely love this guy's work. Thanks, Sleepboy, for turning me on to him. I have been talking to him through email (he's a very nice guy) and trying to help hook him up some shows in the US. I am dying to see his work in person.

Post by gildoinc on Jan 20, 2010, 1:54pm

Well I finally found a Jeremy Geddes email from back in 2005 .

He had just had his second solo show at the Outre Gallery called the Mystery of Eilean Mor. The price range in 2005 was mostly in the $2000 - $2600 range with the title piece selling for $4000 and a couple of smaller pieces for $550. When I emailed the gallery in October everything was already sold.

Here is the copy from the show and some work highlights - enjoy:

"Outr� Gallery is proud to announce the long anticipated second solo exhibition of local painter JEREMY GEDDES. His first exhibition 慠eflex� two years ago was a sell out with paintings going to both local and international collectors with a taste for the dark, the gothic and the latently (and overtly) violent.

This exhibition of original paintings by Geddes are from his much anticipated Eilean Mor project.

The launch of "The Mystery of Eilean Mor", the new thrilling book of foreboding and mystery, is the result of a collaboration between Geddes and best selling Australian author Gary Crew.

The tale is one of a sea captain whose investigations into a mysterious lighthouse breeds thrilling suspense and wonder, as well as providing a moody premise for Geddes' luscious and dramatic studies of light and dark.

With an eye to traditional oil painting techniques, Jeremy's painting surfaces are a thing of wonder with rich, deep glazes that require dedication and patience to perfect. "

Post by devours on Jan 20, 2010, 8:17pm

Before his Cosmonaut works, Jeremy had been too influenced by Phil Hale. Jeremy was just a bit more refined, but there had been some negativity about his art because of the similarity. Now he seems to moving on with his tonal works that are really showcasing his talent and individual expression. It was not until Ashley Wood commissioned him to do 'Heat Death' last year that his Cosmo pieces have really started to draw a strong following. His prints are a beautiful quality, and there is much anticipation for his figure with 3A for 2010. It is wonderful that he is gaining such attention.

Re: Jeremy Geddes
Post by hellosir on Jan 21, 2010, 11:19am

I have just recently heard back from him, and he has shows lined up in HK and the price range know runs from 1-10k AUS$ so you guys in the UK can get quite a discount on the exchange. Also he currently has no paintings available for sale. Sounds like his last show went well, hopefully his success will continue.

oh and I don't know where I saw it but "the cafe" looks phenomenal

Re: Jeremy Geddes
Post by greenhorn1 on Jan 26, 2010, 9:25am

"the cafe" print will be released this wednesday on his site. ($160AUD). I really like this one, although it has a very disturbing vibe to it. I wish I could see some of his originals in person.

Post by shawnlow on Feb 8, 2010, 7:01pm

Surprised it took so long for Jeremy to get listed/mentioned here!

He's based in Melbourne and is really talented.

Only issue is that Jeremy's a perfectionist! He labours over a painting for a long time. There was a piece that looked perfect to me but just sat in his studio for a couple of years...Jeremy told me that he passed the piece to Ash Wood! See below for more on Ash and Jeremy.

He doesn't show with galleries and sells direct to 'fans'.

I live locally and have been lucky enough to have bought some pieces and also visited his studio. There won't be a shortage of paintings for sale...you just need to be patient (his last large batch of Cosmonaut paintings sold two+ years ago) and you also need to beat Ashley Wood.

Believe it or not, Ash owns MOST (I'd say 90%) of Jeremy's larger paintings. That last Heat Deat piece was an Ash Wood 'commission'. Oh well. They're friends so I guess that Ash has dibs!

Some pieces I own are here:

Love the White Cosmonaut print, keep going back to his site to have another look. I think i'll pick one up next week. Not to keen on Cafe, not sure how much enjoyment i'd get having that on my wall.

Re: Jeremy Geddes
Post by hellosir on Feb 22, 2010, 2:53pm

I did the same thing with the white cosmonaut. I went back to the site for about 2 weeks and kept looking at it and finally got it, and am now debating on whether I should have gotten the large version. Which size are you looking at getting?

Has anyone opted for the Large version?

Just the standard size for me, framed up it will still be a good size.
My ceilings aren't high enough to carry off a large framed piece like that.

Re: Jeremy Geddes
Post by soph on Feb 25, 2010, 6:49am

the large white cosmonaut is pretty big - but is very beautiful. The print has a really lovely softness to it - and despite being double the size of the original painting the detail and quality is remarkable (you can see the odd hair that's was trapped in the original painting!!)

That said - framing a print of that size is pretty pricey - and as Spenie pointed out - you do need a place with high ceilings to give it the space it needs

In terms of shows - he's currently working toward a show in HK in April 2011 with Ashley Wood. So everything is being saved for that.

We're planning a little sale of paintings from a comic that he was working on (but has since decided not to pursue). So if you want a small and affordable little original

we'll be sending an email out to our contact list in March.

And yes - early on Phil Hale was a big inflence, more from a techinal perspective - but he's definitely found his "own voice" in recent years

I hope this answers some of your questions - if you have anything specific - fire away (and if it gets too technical I'll pester jem for answers)

Yup i'm sure it will be fantastic. Showing with Ashley Wood as well should really let him show his talents. I feel they have a chemistry together.

Weekender when I contacted about a commission I was told prices vary for originals depending on time spent and size. A smaller piece was quoted 1-2k and larger pieces 10-20k. I'm pretty sure those are in $ AU, plus I assume that the prices will rise a bit now with a gallery show rather than buying from him directly. It will be fun to see how things develop

I purchased the regular version and received it on Dec. 24 (I think it was posted 10 or 12 days before). If you have not gotten yours by now, maybe contact Soph? They should be able to track your parcel.

Jeremy Geddes prints advertising the Bavarian State Opera 2010-2011 season, turned up this morning:

[image]

Nice to see these as large size prints, since I can't get these as artist prints at present:

[image]

And just because its such a fantastic print no matter how its composed or cropped:

[image]

This one got a bit dinged in the bottom left hand corner, but since they are only posters, I'm not too upset...

All will be rotated in a frame over time.... :clap:

Vielen Dank to the Bavarian State Opera front office!

5 of these prints are now available on their site:

Re: Jeremy Geddes
Post by katrin on Jan 30, 2011, 11:58am

Size is DIN A1, so that's about 59x84 cm (23x33 inch).
Good from them putting the posters officially in the store, as they must have gotten a lot of requests. Mine are also already here

Re: Jeremy Geddes
Post by lowpro on Feb 12, 2011, 3:38pm

Thanks for that. Found these last couple interesting..

Q: What do you believe art does for the world?
Hmm, for the world? Nothing, it is merely a consumer of resources like most other human activity. For people, I guess at best it can contribute to a cultural conversation. It can, possibly alter people抯 perceptions of the world around them, although, however much I like to think otherwise, I suspect only slightly and for a very limited time.

Q: What kind of legacy would you like to leave?
It抯 not something I really think about too often. I抦 not entirely convinced that our species has a long future ahead of it. Being remembered isn抰 something that keeps me up at night. If I can touch or make some honest contact with a persons intellect or emotion through my paintings for even a short time then I抦 happy enough.

Some brutally honest, if depressing, responses that I actually appreciate and find insightful to hear from an artist's perspective..even if the questions themselves were loaded.

Re: Jeremy Geddes
Post by epicfai on Feb 12, 2011, 3:49pm

ditto, walt. i also found this tidbit interesting:

"I grew in up in Geelong, a small town outside Melbourne. It抯 a flat industrial place. I grew up near a cement factory which would coat the surrounding houses in a dull grey pall, and which formed the bones of the painting 憈here is glory�."

[image]

'there is glory in our failure', oil on linen, 2007

it's always interesting to me how an artist's environment and background informs their work. personally, i've always found this to be one of his most haunting images. the print is also really stunning with incredibly rich, dark blacks contrasting against the gray sky.

I wish! Nope, not mine. Contacted Kirsten but it is already spoken for. I honestly didnt expect a new original to appear at this show and be for sale, so i was waaay too late in inquiring. That's OK though, my 2011 art budget is pretty much already committed. I'm on the list for the 2012 JLG show, however, and will be hoping to get a shot then.

Snap. Hoped you managed to luck out and snag this, Alex. I too was hugely surprised to see his name pop up in the lineup at all..and am now even more surprised to see that it's a fully fleshed out painting, let alone a Cosmonaut piece. I reached out to Kirsten the moment I noticed this show on her site in mid Jan sometime, seemingly before the news of this amazing show had begun to circulate. Thought I might've had a chance had it been a first come first serve deal, but never heard back. I assumed all along it wasn't ever going to be made publicly available and probably would be reserved to one of her best clients, as should be the case to an extent. His output really is so low and slow, with demand mounting bigtime, it's gonna be crazy by next year and I'm really not holding out much hope at all.

Love everything in that work except the cosmo and the dove. Looking forward to the "future work" he spoke of on his blog:

Quote:

This is a small and fast (for me) painting, measuring at 37 * 58 cm. It doesn't have the detail of my large paintings due to it's size, but I think the brushwork at the micro level is perhaps some of the best I've done.

It is also one of the last cosmonaut paintings I'm planning on producing (there's one or two more in the pipeline), although future work should be evolution of those themes, rather than a radical departure.

I have to agree with murdock, when Soph emailed this to me, I first saw it on my phone and scrolled down to the bottom of the image and saw the cosmonaut and dove and was immediately disappointed.

I don't like it. I missed Adrift by 1 hour as they didn't release the time, and I got fed up of waiting around and had to go to bed. I had a family commitment for APV where there was no way of getting to the web. The irony is this will be easier to get, but doesn't do anything for me.

Re: Jeremy Geddes
Post by katrin on Oct 9, 2011, 12:04pm

I could not find this posted elsewhere on the forum, so here is the info from Jeremy's blog about the timed release of his new print:

This will go online in 3 hours!!!

"Warmer Air will be available on Monday 10th October from 7am to 7pm Melbourne, Australia time (approximately).

For Warmer Air we抳e decided to do a timed release. This means you can purchase the print at any time during the 12 hour window and the number of prints sold in this time will be the edition size. Once the 12 hours is up the print is no longer available.

As a guide, the start time is Sunday 9th October 4pm in New York, Sunday 1pm in San Francisco and Sunday 9pm in London going into the morning of Monday 10th October. But please check your time zones.

The print will be available here on our website: http://www.jeremygeddesart.com/popups/warmerairp.html

Please note, the purchase button will be uploaded when the print is available (our Monday morning and everyone else抯 Sunday afternoon/evening), and will appear in the top right corner.

Some details about the print:

Warmer Air is 40cm wide and 61cm long. The image itself is 35cm by 55cm, almost the same size as the original painting.

It is $120AU and the price includes packing and postage ($117US by today抯 exchange rate)

We anticipate mailing out may take several weeks, so please be patient."

I remember them being sat there for ages too. I knew in my heart of hearts they were too good, and too cheap to stay there forever, but only pulled my finger out for Red Cosmo.

All of a sudden everyone caught on, and it's been mad ever since. Happy they sold so many. I didn't buy one as the image doesn't do much for me.

Same here...when I first saw the prints in his store (thanks to this forum), every single one of them was still for sale and sat there for months or maybe even a year. I fully regret not buying all of them back then. At least I got Alley, There is Glory in our Failure, The Street and now Warmer Air.
I think Alley, There is Glory in our Failure and Freeway were the most limited editions at 60 each.

I sort of want to know because that'll be quite a chunk of change that could be used on something else quite special if I have no hope.

Re: Jeremy Geddes
Post by hellosir on Oct 10, 2011, 2:50pm

Interesting to hear aboit everyone knowing but not making purchases. I remember finding out about him and shortly thereafter became active here. Took me awhile to purchase but I think my first order was 3 prints. Proceeded to build my collection from there. I have thinned out my collection to my favorites, white cosmo and cluster study. Everything else has gone to help me acquire art that I would not have been able to keep it all. Nor do I have the wall space.

This piece I was not fond of at the beginning and the lighting and detail shot sold me on it. I imagine that the bird is a superdove and has the strength to either pull or lower the cosmo and remember something jem mentioned in an interview about imaginative motion. The three pieces mentioned plus cafe and perfect vacuum capture this beautifully. Can't wait to see what comes out for April and am really pleased to see such success for someone who backs up talent with service. Something I truly respect in their operation.

Alex I'm curious too about how you found out where you are on the list. I know I got a personal reply when I inquired about the show upon first hearing frfom Soph. I can't even remember when though.

"This is a very small painting, just 45cm * 34cm. I painted at this scale because it was also acting as a proof of concept, I wanted to make sure I could paint this sort of thing before I expanded it into larger paintings."

How old is Geddes ? The guy paints like he's been doing it for decades

Wow. Truly mindblowing. Such a talent.

If only he had continued to sell art independent of galleries, I would've been able to enjoy something from him on my walls. But he had to go and sign with Levine of all people. Such a bad move.

This piece is amazing both in detail and composition. I wonder if these smaller study paintings will ever become available for sale? My only complaint with this piece is that the people in the cannonball look a bit emaciated and I'd rather they be clothed. Minor complaint though as I'd still hang it

Totally agree on all counts.

Why's that (from Geddes' perspective)?

I'm all for juicy gossip, but I have a feeling this might go off topic here if this continues. Although sometimes it's pertinent to discuss specific relationships between certain artists and their gallerists in the artist thread, if there is nothing special about this particular artist and this particular gallery, it might be better to start a separate thread just to to discuss that gallery or galleries in general to discuss them overall

After consciously holding out for so long and being so anti-gallery and independent in their original business model, I just think there were better galleries they could've selected. They're doing Levine way more favors than he's doing for them. Nothing more. Nothing less.

I agree! If he was set on trying out the gallery route, I think he should have gone west coast (plus, it's shorter flight)... Someone like Thinkspace would have been great. Oh wells, maybe he will go back to his old business model after JLG.

Some of my requests started a few minutes before the drop and didn't connect until a minute or two after the print. Some of my requests didn't connect at all, but I am a programmer so I have an unfair advantage when it comes to print drops!

aaaaaaalright than, time to call my nerdy friends than...

I have to look into these things (I do know a tiny little bit about it, so I kind of have a clue what you're talking about).. Im sick of not getting even close when these big things drop..

That drop was insane... His site started going down 30 minutes prior to the release (usually it's 5-10 minutes prior)... But I snagged one for a fellow board member. I have yet to find a print drop that I can't get! I had over 5 browsers going on multiple internet connections, and the interesting thing is the paypal source code button was still up at 14 minutes after the drop. I wonder why it was out there so long (prob. due to the traffic jam with the site).

I should seriously consider building a system that can handle the traffic for artists like this (kawasaki's is close to the best, but her site still can't handle the traffic). I could setup a cloud for the hour around the release to any high demand artist. I think it's strange no one has done it yet (prob. no money in it). I would prob. trade my services for artwork though...

I do it for several artists

I made it through but JUST in the nick of time. I had several browsers open trying to refresh and nothing was happening. Then I got lucky by opening the link in a brand new window and it popped up with the purchase button. Very glad I decided to leave work early because there's no way I would have gotten one on our 1MB work connection.

Well there you go, do you use a cloud service to provide scalable hosting (like amazon)? And you should get more of those paypal artists to use your system!!!

I use a combination of environments as I have a proprietary arbitrage system for cloud resources. We spread workloads across amazon, azure, and rackspace.

Re: Jeremy Geddes
Post by greenhorn1 on Feb 6, 2012, 6:21pm

From jeremy's FB...

Cluster, both regular and large prints, have sold out, thanks to everyone who bought one.

We're sorry for those who missed out, we weren't expecting Cluster to have the same response as A Perfect Vacuum so we were surprised by the speed it sold out.

In future we'll be doing larger editions!

And...

I should also mention that along with the normal print runs, we will try to do a timed release (like Warmer Air) at least once a year, so there should always be opportunities to get a print.

When I read about these complicated set-ups I feel almost bad that I made it through with my regular internet connection, firefox, and just three clicks until the print was mine after 19 seconds.
But I was prepared, I knew where the purchase button would appear, I guess I refreshed at the right moment and clicked as soon as I saw some black text in that corner. Or maybe fortune favours the fools

From what I've heard from Sophie, Jeremy's going to try to do larger print editions and maybe a timed release (Warmer Air) every year or so.

Agreed, but right now, Cluster is at its peak, price-wise, at about an average of $650.

I think the larger edition number and the lack of Cosmonauts will eventually help deflate the price of it when Jeremy's JLG show is over.
