Rochefort 10 in Spray Paint


The third in a limited series of five.

16x30in
Spray Paint on Canvas


This is the third "print" in a limited series of five, from original, handmade Rochefort stencils. This piece of beer art is solely a tribute to the great Rochefort 10, with the Rochefort 10 crown emerging from the dark. While this painting may look relatively straight-forward, in actuality, each successive crown in the sequence has more dimensional rendering than the last. This rendering, peaking at the rightmost crown, is achieved by delicate application of a range of spray-paints.

Great Breweries of Belgium


Impressionistic Oil on Canvas
16x30in
$360
SOLD

     This is an original oil painting of some (maybe most, but not all) of Belgium's great breweries. This painting includes crowns (and cork and cage tops) from Rochefort, Rodenbach, d'Achouffe, Saison Dupont, Westvleteren, Gulden Draak, St. Bernardus, Westmalle, Chimay, Orval, Duvel, and De Struise. Okay, we'll admit - De Struise has blank crowns and we had to make a fake one, but we feel they are too goddamn good to not include. "But why did you not include Fantome, then?" We don't know, we're sorry. In any case, we're very happy with how this painting came out. Much like the painting of California caps that we did, this one is more painterly than our regular work.

The Crowns of Rochefort Spray-Painting

Artist Grade Spray Paint on Canvas
Limited Series of Five
16x30in
$175
SOLD

This is a different breed of beer painting. While we are primarily oil painters, we started our collaborative art practice with spray paint and stencils. This piece is done from original stencils and after a series of five, those stencils will be no more.

Trappist Rochefort 10

Trappist Rochefort 10 beer painting art

Oil on Canvas
26x22in
$400
SOLD


What can we say about Rochefort 10? It is one of the best beers in the world, that also happens to be available just about everywhere. 

So, why an oil painting of Rochefort 10? This is a question that we should have answered months ago. While these larger-than-life oil paintings approach photorealism, we feel that they possess a physicality that a photo simply does not. The transparent, permeable layers of color work in conjunction with impermeable, visceral strokes of paint to create a light-reactive, dimensional surface. 

Being full-time artists, we live a fairly spartan lifestyle. Beer is our luxury. We do not have a furnished bar, a beer cellar that isn't a closet, or a living room to hang the very artwork we do. Basically, we make the beer art we would like to have on our imaginary walls.

Trappist Nouveau

Map of the Trappist Breweries of Belgium, Westvleteren, Chimay, Rochefort, Westmalle, Orva art
14x36in
Mixed Media on Canvas
SOLD


This is an original Art Nouveau-inspired illustration of the six Trappist breweries of Belgium - Westvleteren, Chimay, Achel, Westmalle, Rochefort, and Orval. Each brewery is represented in its proper location on the map of Belgium, along with having a cork or crown in the composition (except Achel, which have plain crowns). While some many debate which brewery produces the best beer, it is undeniable that all the Trappist breweries of Belgium have a rich history of producing world-class beers. The incredibly unique Orval, the highly-sought after Westvleteren 12, the style-defining Westmalle Tripel, the ubiquitous, yet great Chimay Grande Reserve, and our personal favorite, the Rochefort 8 are all worth celebrating on their own - - and together in this illustration.

Rochefort Nouveau



18x24x.75in
SOLD

This is an original illustration of Brasserie de Rochefort with barley and the three Rochefort crowns. Priced lower than our regular work, it has a thinner canvas profile - however, it still comes with a hanging wire attached to the back.

This is our first attempt at an Art Nouveau-inspired illustration. It is not quite as Art Nouveau as we originally intended, but that should change with each piece we do. Up next: Brasserie d'Orval and Cantillon Blåbær Lambik.

Commission

This commission is a bit of a call-back to the first beer painting we did and it is just as chock-full of great beers, with many different styles being represented.

Rochefort 8 crown


Oil on canvas
14x18in


Trappist Rochefort 8, an incredible beer we find superior to Westvleteren 8, St. Bernardus Prior 8, and Rochefort 10, which are all really great beers in their own right.





Up next: some commissions, a unique Unibroue still-life, and maybe something a bit interesting with a Russian River crown.

This is the first beer painting we did - for our friends at The Brew Shop here in Bend, Oregon. We have a few more commissioned paintings like this coming down the pipeline and we'd always love to do more.
