I was surprised that they took "that long" before they sell out. However it now turns out, thanks for the good will to both of you!! |

They are lovely but bloody expensive i don’t like so much this show. I prefer the last ones ( said without bitterness) Maybe Dran as to renew himself.. it smells like reheated leftovers ( google traduction sorry ) |

Very expensive, yes! My love for dran grew over the years. Prices grew in the same time sadly. But I guess he deserves it! Pumping out quality work for such a long time now and it still sells very good. My favorite work from the last time was the Pinocchio print because of its interaction with the viewer/reader. Always like stuff that works that way. But even it was short under 400pounds and there was one I could have bought, I couldn't do it. It is just too much money for me...

Dran. I do enjoy his work. I think he’s a good political cartoonist. I struggle to see him as more than that. I don’t mean that as an insult. I think Martin Rowson is a genius, adroitly capturing day to day hell, caricaturing the shitehouses that pretend to lead whilst enriching themselves and their cronies, skewering the tropes the less honest would have us rely upon. It’s a very specific and admirable skill set, particular when done three hundred times a year. I wouldn’t pay thousands to put it on my wall. I think it has a short shelf life.
Some may say, ‘Blah, blah, blah, Banksy.’ Yeah, well, they probably should read more. I know that might sound cruel but, y’know, so fuck. I resisted the term ‘ersatz’ because I think that would be unfair. Just, maybe, us lot should get out of this fucking bubble a bit. I look at my walls and I hang art from all the major board (bored?) approved suppliers. Jaysus, there’s a nationwide tumescent event because Insect got glittery MSPaint and a continuing enquiry into whether another chap painted his own basket ball (my info is that he didn’t...)
Everything on your wall is worth nothing, unless it is by Banksy. Absolutely everything that our merry band of, what, perhaps one thousand, two thousand, ten thousand individuals buy is worth nothing. See it as a charitable donation, supporting artists, galleries and flippers.
BTW I am available for weddings, christenings and Bar-mitzvahs...

Political cartoonist isn't enough to describe his work. The term cartoonist might not be wrong, but I think it is more than only political. He mirrors the lack of society. Not sure if you say it like that but you know what i mean. He doesn't need much paint to show us what's wrong in life. And sometimes it is just funny and thats it. That's a talent you can't talk down.
And of course we are in a bubble. Who isn't nowadays. But I don't think the bubble is only defined by forums. It's defined by the artists who take the effort to be known. Maybe I am wrong. But show me an artist who has a similiar style and output I shopuld know!? I can feel his uniqueness.
The question what it is worth is a whole different story. Of course he is hyped because he is in the banksy clique. But thats not his fault I guess. In my opinion he deserves it. It's not about resell value. It's about making a living of your art and if you are able to entertain your clients. He is entertaining me. I like his work. BUt sadly I'm not wealthy enough to buy his art and enjoy it on my walls. And that's what it is all about for me. Decorating my home with art I enjoy. Real painted or printed art from it's original source.
Enough texting and beer for me today. I feel like a second lroy. No offense. It's just hard to express yourself in a foreign language sometimes. Hope you understand what I mean and you all have good time while reading this! Keep the discussion going. There is nothing to loose...

I have to admit I was put off by his sidekicks, but after going down to see this latest set of works I have let that resentment go, his work is really quite clever and requires a lot more thought some some other shit people put out, the tiger print is lovely and if I had any money would love one, his work always tells a story and he deserves his status in the art world in my opinion

Do you mean good or bad? My first thought was that it was trite, patronising, condescending even. Vaguely misogynistic, certainly sexist. The sort of cartoon that might have been published in The Daily Mail, or The Express. Singularly lacking insight in 2019. Am I missing something? |
