We first discovered CJ Hendry hyper-realistic drawings at the end of last year and were stunned immediately.

去年年底，我们首先发现了CJHendry超逼真的绘画，并立即惊呆了。

In early April this year we launched the Art Hunter in Sydney in conjunction with Jaguar and introduced CJ Hendry’s work as one of the featured elements of the occasion. Her reputation took off like a rocket and her work is selling out at record time.

今年4月初，我们与捷豹一起在悉尼推出了“艺术猎人”(ArtHunter)，并将CJ Hendry的作品作为这次活动的特色元素之一进行了介绍。她的名声如火箭般飞升，她的作品正以创纪录的速度销售一空。

For those who have just discovered The Cool Hunter or CJ Hendry, here’s some of the background story.

对于那些刚刚发现CoolHunter或CJ Hendry的人来说，下面是一些背景故事。

Her rise is extraordinary in the art world as it has all happened in just six short months. It is a testament to her talent and once again, a testament also to what we call ‘The Cool Hunter Effect.’ We hear about it all the time. How careers have taken off, reputations have been established, sales taken off because we have featured their work on The Cool Hunter.

她的崛起在艺术界是非同寻常的，因为这一切都发生在短短六个月。这是对她才华的证明，也是对我们所谓的“酷猎手效应”的证明。我们一直都听说这件事。职业生涯是如何发展起来的，声誉是如何确立的，销售是如何腾飞的，因为我们在“酷猎人”上展示了他们的作品。

We are happy to be the catalyst and supporter of excellent work, but CJ Hendry is unusual even among the ones we’ve supported before. So much so, that we became her exclusive agents/gallery.

我们很高兴成为优秀工作的催化剂和支持者，但CJHendry是不寻常的，即使是在我们以前支持的那些人中。我们成了她的独家代理/画廊。

And we HAVE supported her from the start because we saw the striking talent and the strong appeal of her old-school hand-drawn artistry in today’s technology-heavy world.

我们从一开始就支持她，因为我们看到了她在当今科技密集的世界中的惊人才能和她古老的手绘艺术的强烈吸引力。

A few days prior to opening the Art Hunter, we posted an image of one of CJ Hendry’s works on Instagram to introduce her as one of the many artists we’ve been showcasing.

在“艺术猎人”开幕前几天，我们在Instagram上发布了一张CJ Hendry作品的照片，介绍她是我们展示的众多艺术家之一。

Within a few hours, we had received more than 50 enquiries from international buyers wanting to buy the piece we just posted. We did the same thing the following day and posted a different image and continued that a few days in a row. The result: All of her works were sold BEFORE we even opened The Art Hunter!

在几个小时内，我们收到了来自国际买家的50多个询价，希望购买我们刚刚发布的产品。第二天我们做了同样的事，并发布了一张不同的图片，并继续连续几天。结果：她所有的作品都是在我们打开艺术猎人之前被卖了！

And this is how 90% of CJ’s work have been selling ever since. We recently introduced her playing card series, also on Instagram, and sold out the entire set within five days. All 54 cards, including two Jokers

从那以后，CJ 90%的作品就一直在销售。我们最近在Instagram上推出了她的扑克牌系列，并在五天内全部售出。所有54张卡，包括两张

Her $50K Fashion IT Bag series sold out. Her Boxing gloves were sold to a buyer in Saudia Arabia, the Nike ball went to London, the basketball to an employer at Apple in San Francisco. Even Kanye West now has one of CJ’s pieces.

她价值5万美元的时尚IT包系列销售一空。她的拳击手套卖给了沙特阿拉伯的一个买家，耐克球卖给了伦敦，篮球卖给了旧金山苹果公司的一个雇主。就连坎耶·韦斯特现在也有了CJ的作品之一。

Her mailing list now exceeds 1000, all serious potential buyers wanting to know what’s next.

她的邮件列表现在已经超过1000条，所有的潜在买家都想知道下一步是什么。

So, to market her work further, we have wanted to take a new route, to continue to do things differently. To put an extraordinary talent into the boring same-old, white-walled art-gallery setting somehow just did not make sense to us. Her work deserved to be the talk of the town, an event, a happening, a celebration.

因此，为了进一步推销她的作品，我们想要走一条新的道路，继续做不同的事情。把非凡的才能放进无聊的、同样古老的、白色墙壁的画廊环境中，对我们来说是毫无意义的。她的作品值得全城谈论，一件大事，一件正在发生的事，一场庆祝活动。

We decided to showcase her work in a private home in Sydney – a perfect match to her talent. After a long period of scouting, we found the incredible house that fits the style of CJ Hendry’s work impeccably.

我们决定在悉尼的一家私人住宅展示她的作品-这是她才华的完美匹配。经过很长一段时间的侦察，我们发现这座不可思议的房子非常适合CJ Hendry的作品风格。

It is a two-storey warehouse in Surry Hills converted to what is possibly Sydney’s coolest house. Home to a young savvy entrepreneur who likes to entertain, the house features its own private nightclub complete with gold bar, see-through glass smoking room, four bedrooms/bathrooms, a pool that looks into the nightclub and a super impressive sound system.

这是一座两层高的仓库，位于萨里山，改造成了悉尼最酷的房子。这里是一位喜欢娱乐的年轻精明企业家的家，这里有自己的私人夜总会，配有金条、透明玻璃吸烟室、四间卧室/浴室、一个可以俯瞰夜店的游泳池和一个令人印象深刻的音响系统。

Plus a sleeping pod shaped like a UFO – the owner’s bedroom. The house alone offers limitless talking points, yet it served perfectly as the background for CJ’s pieces. They literally belong there. Neither overpowers the other, both the art and the house get to shine, they are flawlessly aligned.

再加上一个形状像UFO的睡舱-主人的卧室。这所房子本身提供了无限的谈话要点，但它完美地充当了CJ作品的背景。他们真的属于那里。两者都不能凌驾于另一方之上，无论是艺术还是房子都会发光，它们是完美地排列在一起的。

Opening night was a huge success with over 500 people turning up to an art event they hadn’t experienced before – all being driven to and from the space courtesy of Uber.

开幕式之夜取得了巨大的成功，500多人参加了一场他们以前从未经历过的艺术活动-所有这些都是由优步(Uber)开车往返太空的。

The CJ Hendry art show residence was open only for four days to the public (4 Dec – 7 Dec). All the works sold out, 95% were sold before we even opened the doors and only 3 were available on opening night which were snapped up fast.

CJ Hendry艺术展住宅只对公众开放四天(12月4日至7日)。所有的作品都卖光了，95%的作品在我们开门之前就售出了，而在开幕之夜，只有3件作品被抢购一空。

We had 2 large grazing tables that our talented event guru Natalie Longheon from Just Add Cream had created. Natalie also did the event design and production and we have used her previously for the Art Hunter - Summer Lovers Store.

我们有两个大的放牧表，我们有天赋的活动大师Natalielongheon刚刚创造了奶油。Natalie也做了事件设计和生产，我们以前曾使用过她的艺术猎人

The food was the talk of the night, super quality provided by the Louis Vuitton of butchers – Victor Churchill in Woollahra and incredible cheeses by Salt Meat Cheese in Alexandria. Mud Australia provided the plate ware

这些食物是当晚的话题，是路易威登屠夫提供的优质食品-伍拉赫拉市的维克多·丘吉尔(Victor丘吉尔)和亚历山大市的盐肉奶酪(SaltMeat Cheese)提供的难以置信的奶酪。澳大利亚提供了餐具。
