Conor Harrington • Samson's Nostalgia Trap, by Harveyn on Dec 18, 2014 11:04:00 GMT 1, I thought this was the worst image from the recent show. Not sure if it was the worst - all Conor's stuff is pretty amazing - but the transition from the hyper-realism of the 3 central figures in the middle of the painting to the abstract coloring surrounding the table seems like it might have been rushed. I am a huge fan of Conor's work and its certainly my primary target purchase for 2015 and in fact was for 2014 but I failed other than the small piece I picked up below.
I 100% agree with you streetartfan on this one. The transition looks very rushed and I would also say the realism element is far from his best brushwork. Its simply not sharp enough to create the right contrast IMO.
At £60k I am afraid this one does not step up to his usual high standard.
I prefer his paintings when he allows the abstract elements to dominate. Still the best artist out there IMO along with Adam Neate.

They're not that big, his fight club was massive and I did have it in my head they'd be the same size. So I was relieved when the last one turned up and it wasn't. I'm not able to make it to London to get one of the new ones. I would like one so I have a pair, each one on opposite walls I think.

It's behind the Oxo Tower, up the road from ITV. Just walked passed and saw a big stack of tubes ready to go.

I agree about the latent ability and Neate comparable though which was expressed earlier.

Cool
If I fall asleep and snore, Can someone wake me up around 11 please??
Café au lait Croissants if possible??
