Andrew Hem "Dreams Towards Reality" LE Monograph

[commandax]

Andrew Hem's new book "Dreams Towards Reality" is currently printing, and advance copies should be here in a couple of weeks. A high-quality hardcover monograph, it is limited to an edition of 1,000. The book will be shipping from Zero+ Publishing in August, and if you order it from them now, you can get it at a 30% discount.

"In addition to a survey of Hem’s recent paintings, this volume includes selections from his early work, graffiti, sketches, murals, sculptures and collages, as well as photographs from the extensive travel in Southeast Asia and South America that has informed his vision. With an in-depth essay by Amanda Erlanson that examines how Hem’s Cambodian heritage, urban upbringing and innate empathy merged to open his unique window into the invisible territories of the human spirit, this beautifully produced monograph is a fascinating view into the soul of an artist."

The Andrew Hem special editions should start to become available in late August or early September.

The deluxe edition of 30 will come in a clothbound clamshell box with a cloth portfolio inside that contains a matted original drawing that's about 5x7.5 inches.

The limited box set edition of 10 will include a deluxe edition (as above) inside a unique carved wooden box designed and embellished by Andrew that also contains five small pieces of original art, including paintings and sculpture.

If anyone is interested in one of them, please PM me, so I can update you on specifics and make sure you're on the publisher's priority list.

Here is a shot of the deluxe edition clamshell alongside a sample of the wood we are using to construct the limited edition box set.

Now that Andrew Hem's Dreams Towards Reality clamshell edition with graphite drawings has officially debuted at Nucleus Gallery, I can give you more details on the deluxe box set edition that is being offered through Zero+ Publishing. Created in an edition of just nine, each handcrafted bamboo box features an different character painted on the lid, and contains five additional works of art, plus a signed and numbered book encased in a clamshell.



When you crack open the box, you will find an original 5x7 matted painting enclosed in a cloth portfolio, an assemblage of 12 matchboxes, a landscape painting, a small character portrait, and a jar sculpture inside a smaller bamboo box embellished with Andrew's handpainted text designs.

Only the first edition (pictured) has been completed right now, but the entire edition will be ready for shipment by early January. The collection of six original artworks is currently priced at $2500, but Zero+ scales its prices higher as the edition sells out, so if you're interested, don't procrastinate... the edition is already more than half sold, sight unseen.
