I'm compiling a collection of original artworks and prints..

[jonbeinart]

I'm compiling a collection of original artworks by artists from the beinArt Collective which I aim to tour internationally. I plan to establish my own gallery with these artworks on rotation or to donate the entire collection to a public museum on condition that it is never divided. More info here: http://beinart.org/artists/beinart-coll ... paintings/

Here are some examples from the collection:

Beautifull works are on the showcase, i can not wait for future events, where one day i will be able to see all these in the flesh. lovely collection, may it grow and grow and grow.

[jonbeinart]

Thankyou James. I'm sure the collection will grow immensely after the launch of Metamorphosis (our first publication) http://surrealartforum.com/viewtopic.php?t=399
Its so close now

[dislatino]

Really Jon i can not wait, thi book will turn-around so many heads, this is a great achievement and as always thank you for the work you do, you are a great inspiration to many. TO RIGHT! the Beinart Collection will grow beyond your wildest dreams.

[Dan_Wilson]

Fabulous works here. Great work Jon. If only that collection could tour the world, if only for a year. I live by the University of Washington, Seattle. The Henry Art Gallery is one of the best. Wink wink. ...well I can dream.
Cheers:)

[jonbeinart]

It is definately a possibility

[Joshua Burton]

That's so great! It's very good to be a part of this forum.

I just realized yesterday that the AMAZING collection of links to surrealist galleries that I found a few months ago was.. (tada) the beinart collective. So I've actually known about this longer than I thought. I remember showing those links to a bunch of people... I even posted links to it on a couple different forums over the last few months. I feel like a terd for not recognizing it until now .

I can't wait to see that publication. I've got some thinking to do with my form of creation... I'm trying to get some decent digital prints right now. It's hard to get your work out there when it comes to installations; if anyone has suggestions as far as that goes please let me know. I'm very much thinking I'll have to make a big fat coffee-table book (someday) in the distant future. Would be nice to have a permenant installation... hm.


Pipe dreams.

I think that in Art History your efforts equals what happened at various times, e.g the rise of the Pre-Rafaellite or the Impressionist etc. movements.

I hope to make a modest contribution by gladly donating to your collection copies of high quality photo prints of my work,

Hi Jon,

Over the past few weeks I've dropped you an email and a PM about possibly making a bequest to your physical collection of some works from one of the artists in your collective - not that I'm planning to die anytime soon, I hope.

I didn't want to do this publicly, but since I've heard nothing back and I since you appear to be posting in the forum at the moment I thought I'd give it one last shot. It's fine if you're not interested, but I'd like to be sure it's not just some electronic failure to connect. If you could message me here or email me, that would be great.

[jonbeinart]

Hi Lloyd. I am so sorry that I haven't got back to you yet. I didn't receive the PM, but I have the email sitting in my inbox. I had planned to reply immediately, but have been in a work frenzy.... Tis the silly season and business & correspondance have been going off! I was very touched by your email and would be more than happy to take care of the artworks... but I hope you stay alive for many many years to come. Just in case you don't see this reply, I will email you as well

[jonbeinart]

I have added more artwork from the collection into this thread (first post). The collection recently had a growth spurt. More works can be seen here: http://beinart.org/artists/beinart-collection/?GID=523

[jonbeinart]

Tim Molloy just completed a Shrine drawing for the collection. Spot the Toddlerpedes.

[gador]

Great Collection!!!
I'm confident that contemporary surreal art is more expressive and inspirating than in the past. It's great to be in Bein Art.

[jonbeinart]

Thank you Maciej. It's great to have you in the collective!

[Studio Dapore]

Wild stuff.

[divee]

A very interesting colletion you have built here:)
I think it is worth keeping everything together.

[jonbeinart]

Thanks Ton,

I have many new paintings, drawings and prints in the collection than aren't shown on the site. I'll update asap.

[Trëz]

Amazing Collection, congratulations, I hope to have the chance to see it some day.... Maybe in Paris?

Trëz

[jonbeinart]

Thank you Trëz,

I'd love to show the collection in Paris... Definitely on my list of choice locations for the tour.

[Trëz]

Yes, I'm sure that if you show the collection in Paris, a lot of people will come! If you concretise this project, send me a message, I will make ad on my website and myspace page...
Best regards.

Trëz

[jonbeinart]

Thanks Trëz. Will do!

[dan99]

Oh My God!
They look like real. I think they make somebody scare. This collection is good so you must post at another websites in order to be seen by a lot of people who don't know this website.
If you have more ones, please go on!
Thank you very much!

[Gus]

I love them all but I dont think the paintings by Beau White fit.

[earwicker]

Hi I am a neon blacklight acrylic painter from Idaho. I have nver shown my work to anyone. I paint in my own style like psychedelic cubism and other strange styles. it is unique. I hace nver sold a painting and don't know where to make prints that are true tothe blacklight colors ihave developed through elaborate mixing. I wanted to know if I could email you some pictures. and see what you think or if you would be interested in purcaseing or helping me. got togo talk to you later
