What's going on guys? I'm Mariah at least and of course I'm here to talk to you guys about what's going on on our world and the art market and who's making moves and most recently I've been telling you guys a little key into my life. I'm actually going to a friends of mine exhibition right after I record this video so if you stick around to the end I'll give you guys a peek of that show. Also guys make sure to click that like button but honestly just watch the video until the end. That's what really helps and if you're into it afterwards subscribe and keep up with me. But for today I wanted to update you guys on an artist that I mentioned to you in a video that I did a while ago. It was about artist Phillips wanted us to watch. Artists they wanted us to keep an eye on and I must say they were right. I had a great feeling this guy's career will continue to go well and it definitely is. Today we're talking about Tungy Adenai Jones. If you watch this channel consistently you definitely see his work before and if you keep an eye out for all of the emerging artists are a good group of emerging artists you've definitely seen him in articles, exhibitions and so on. Well most recently he made a really big move and that's what we're going to talk about today. Let's dive in. Alright guys so this morning I was on RC.com and I ran across an article given a marker brief on Adenai Jones. I thought it was interesting because we've talked about him before so I thought you guys deserve to hear how his career is going. I don't know that I was surprised to hear this news but I do know that I was definitely definitely excited. Very recently and I mean like last week recently YCube Gallery announced his representation of the new emerging artists which happened to be Tungy Adenai Jones. Definitely slot on over to their website and check them out. They represent artists such as a f*** favorite the Astrogate David Hammond. A few more familiar names like Damien Hurts, Tracy Emmons and Chuck Close. Now I've said this before Adenai Jones has been something to watch for some time. For me in particular it's special because his ability to create this malleability between figures allowing them to be easy with one another even in their contrast and more than that the mythology is strongly felt and execute. Have a gallery like YCube represent yours as an artist especially if they do well by you which I think in a hope that they will. Philips Auction House told us to look out for his work. I told you guys and now it has definitely come to light. First appeared in auction in December 2020. This piece and so for an insane amount of 163,800 dollars more than eight times the works high estimate now trust me I 100% understands how artists get when their early works go to auction but I've told you guys before it doesn't always have to be so bad. Now I do know that I've talked to you guys about protecting the artists on a primary market so you can protect them on a secondary market but look what's happening here. He went to auction early. His early works went to auction and now YCube is taking him on to hopefully protect his primary market to secure what we already know is happening on the secondary market. Maybe I'm wrong let me know in the comments if you feel differently about it but the market has changed and it's changing and if we continue to look at it and receive it the way that it used to be we won't have the ability to move with it. Now just a side note what has always been super interesting to me is the mountains you have to climb as an artist before you're considered to be past what we consider emerging. He has blue chip gallery representation he sold an auction for incredible amounts so I'm curious to know when we're going to take the murder stamp off of his name. Now I do think that it is beneficial to keep his career labeled as emerging because what that could mean is you might still have chance to collect his work. Now keep in mind I'm talking it to someone who has a good upper level of five to 6,000 I'm sorry from five to six figures to spend. But if you do you still have a chance to get it and if you're just finding out about Tunji and I deny you Jones you're still considered to be early and early in Dapper and knowing who he is and following his work. I urge you guys to follow him on Instagram. Follow him wherever you can. Keep up with his career and just watch it go from here. Hopefully white cube has a really good grasp on who he is as an artist and understands his goals and his missions and the team that they put behind him. Hopefully they hopefully they help him and push him and achieving those goals. Now guys as promise I'm about to mask up. Go have a drink at the bar and head to my friend Tux exhibitions. The exhibition is titled I found my self in Houston. If you guys don't know I live in Houston so he has brought this exhibition down from Dallas to Houston. He actually lives in Los Angeles right now but he's from Texas. So I guess he decided to do this in Texas. I'm really excited to see this exhibition. If you guys stick around I'm going to give you guys a little footage. Come to the living room. And give him a follow on Instagram. Now guys don't forget to follow me on Instagram. I'm telling y'all to follow everyone else. Follow me on Instagram. It's at Mariah Elise with two ease at the end.
