With the consent of German artist Van Ray, Gin Huang Gallery is honored to share this warm video:
Not long ago, a bigwig collector from Hong Kong bought a work of Van as a birthday present for her husband.
However, after receiving the work, she found that the signature on the back was slightly scratched and felt lost about it.

When Van Ray heard that a collector received a work with scratch on the back,
He thoughtfully recorded this video to the collector  ❤️❤️❤️.
Thanks to Van's heart warming video, the couple turned from sad to very surprised,
and they also had a happy birthday! 😍😍😍









Best For The Best

 





In the video Van Ray said:

Hi, how are you?

I hope you're doing fine and having a great birthday with your lovely wife.I don't know of you're happy with your present? But, I really hope you like it, from the heart. That's what I do, it's also what this present from your wife is meant to be.

So I was told there is a scratch on the back on the writing I put on for you, but, it shouldn't happen.

It's scratches and life that make memories, it's the scratches that make ourselves unique, it's also the scratches that makes us keep going for more.

So what I can say is good luck my friend. I love some more of them damn cash! You got it, peace!

Antiques used in Van Ray’s works are always mottled by the years.

He believes that these flaws symbolize the uniqueness and completeness of human; the scratches on the back of the work are actually like flaws on an antique.


Beautiful stories sublimate from the defect. It's like receiving an imperfect work, but accidentally getting a film specially recorded by the artist, and leaving beautiful memories.

In addition to creating countless beautiful works, artists always bring us unexpected surprises!


Let us look forward to the future development of the warm-hearted artist Van Ray ❤️❤️❤️
