seems like i don't always yell "hypocrisy" when it comes to those "charity" things for nothing.cerebus wrote:Guys, I hate to be the bearer of bad tidings on this one, but the gallery that you bought the statues from is about to go out of business. There is also a huge amount of anger directed at the owner of the gallery as it appears that a large percentage of the money that was intended to go to the Mercy Center Charity has gone missing, though there are strong rumors that it went up the gallery owners nose.

I am very sad indeed to say that yes the Leonard St Gallery does owe me a large sum of money, many tens of thousands in fact, even sadder though is the fact that most of that money is owed to The Mercy Centre Foundation a charitable organization that I have helped and followed for some time now. www.mercycentre.org
The gallery knew when they asked me if they could produce a sculptured edition of the LV Child for charity that they would never be able to pay me for it, and that it was just another bit of quick cash to pay the next person off, maybe the artist before me, or the artist before them or even the artist before them, it’s a long line believe me! Not only could they knowingly never pay me, the logistics of releasing a hand finished edition of that scale without them not being produced first did not only make me look bad as the artist, it made many of the people who supported me over the years angry at having to wait months for them to be delivered, and now in light of the Leonard St closing its still leaving people empty handed. If you have been stiffed like I have by them and can’t get your money back through your credit card company.
I’ll do my best with the remaining statues that I HOPE to have returned to me, to see you right.
On a very dark note, it seems that not one penny of the tens of thousands of pounds raised through this will now ever make it to the Children of Klong Toey. I have been promised by the gallery Director James Golding that even though the Gallery is going bust, that he will see me right and pay me out of his own pocket the money that he owes me as well as the other artists, but due to being fed lies upon lies upon lies this past year I believe its just another crock of fudge created to keep people off of his back.
Trusting a bunch of wannabe Nathan Barley Shoreditch trendy’s was a bad idea, I take my hat off to a good friend and graffiti artist for warning me off people like this, but due to my lack of British television in Asia I was blind to the ‘’Barley’s’’ I am however now up to speed with this type and will avoid them in the future thanks to him. (Sorry Dred, you were right, I owe you a Vinnies).
If your reading this Mr Golding, which no doubt you will, you’ve lied to me, shook my hand then broken deals, and continued to drymount me knowingly for months now, not only have you done it to me, but you have done it to many other artists, clients and dealers. It’s a drymounting wake up call James, stop living your millionaire art dealers life style on other peoples money, stop believing your own lies, and sort everyone the drymount out with all of the sly dosh you've made by selling my canvases without me knowing and art collection you’ve built up.
A classic quote, '' telling anyone about this or making it public won't help you or anyone else get their money back'' Thats what they all drymounting say!........... Dealing with any of the clowns associated with this gallery will just end in you loosing your money for their enjoyments.
I hold no blame what so ever on the wonderful staff at The Leonard St Gallery, all of them have been a huge help and very plesant people to work with, I feel very sorry indeed for them to have to deal with this mess the gallery owners have created with their lies and bad management, and wish them the best of luck in finding new jobs, I'd vouch for any of you.
