246 Editions

We here at 246 editions have been on an extended life journey for the past few months and are now back and thrilled to be presenting new work.

Look for us to post in just a few hours a new print by Austin Thomas, I think you will be quite pleased by this - hope to see you soon.

Pocket Utopia is not quite over yet…there’s still some unfinished business…

Enormous thanks to Austin Thomas for helping put this together.

We were fortunate enough to be included in a blog post over at Joanne Mattera’s excellent blog.

Thank you for thinking of us here at 246 editions.

Mesh is part of a series of work that Mr. Jones has been working on with the working title of Fundamentalism. Astute readers might catch the reference to a particular iconic band out of Manchester in these titles which is (in this case) not a negative thing at all.

Mr. Jones combines quiet areas with more physical and detailed spaces in his work resulting in sections that are charged with the interplay of texture and color. These transmissions of impact and quiet provide plenty of space for the painterly areas of the work to come forward.

In the past few days, I’ve had this print hanging up at my Haçienda and it was quite a happy Monday when I realized it was time to present this artwork to the world. We hope you enjoy this print.

We at 246 dedicate this edition to Messrs Saville, Gretton, Wilson, and Hannett.

Don’t be shy, the work can be purchased here.

We are going to try to put this show on the road a little bit - think of us as Van Halen with David Lee Roth not as Van Halen with Sammy Hagar. Anyway we are currently lining up shows and events for the summer and fall - know of a place in your town that would like to host us? let me know.

Here’s what is currently on the docket:

July 16th at Pocket Utopia (Bushwick, Brooklyn)

October in Philadelphia (almost final - TBA soon)

Washington DC in late October/Early November (almost final - TBA soon)
