Artists' Influences, by Feral Things on Aug 1, 2016 22:34:53 GMT 1, I know there's a recent thread elsewhere with posts mentioning artists' influences but as its title relates to plagiarism I thought it was worth starting a thread actually about influences instead. So, to get the ball rolling...
Swoon: the collage work of Robert Rauschenberg, the site-specific work of Gordon Matta-Clark and the photography of Brassaรฏ
Os Gemeos: guidance of Barry McGee, the folk art of Arthur Bispo do Rosรกrio and the handstyles of Rio's Pixadores
Banksy: the early stencil's of Robert '3D' Del Naja, the humanitarianism of Kรคthe Kollwitz and the truisms of Jenny Holzer
Mr Jago: the abstraction and pointmen of Futura, the depiction of nature by Claude Monet and the manga cartoons of Nobuhiro Watsuki

Artists' Influences, by .dappy on Aug 2, 2016 0:31:04 GMT 1, Feral Things fabulous ...
there was a German artist woman from the 1930s, maybe a touch earlier, who did collages that I always thought that bรคst may have seen(?) and been influenced by She had an exhibition at a gallery in Whitechapel (even that gallery?) about a year+ or so ago.

They may not have been directly inspired, but both Bast and Judith Supine may owe a little nod to Hannah and the Berlin Dada movement. She paved the way for many photomontage and collage artists that followed.

Artists' Influences, by Feral Things on Aug 3, 2016 15:01:45 GMT 1, My thread is null and void from the use of one word. Go ahead and plagiarise my thread. My understand is that your thread is about plagiarism i.e. someone taking someone else's work and passing it off as their own. That's a different issue to an artist being influenced by another and then creating their own work in response i.e. 'standing on the shoulders of giants'. I don't think a thread about influence is an attempt to imply that a thread about plagiarism is redundent; they're just two different and equally valid conversations.
Anyway, here's a few more...
Robert Del Naja: the aesthetics of Judy Blame, the non-letterform work of Jean-Michel Basquiat and the vinyl covers of Futura:
Keith Haring: the 'low art' approach of Jean Dubuffet, the public art possibilities of Christo and the poetic nature of ancient Egyptian art:
Dale Marshall: the colour-theory of Richard Diebenkorn, the introspection of Adrian Ghenie and the process-led approach of Brion Gysin
Miss Van: the proud feminism of Frida Kahlo, the autobiographical natures of the work of Tamara de Lempicka and the political portraiture of Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres

Artists' Influences, by Street Art Fan on Aug 3, 2016 16:05:31 GMT 1, Great thread! A few questions...
I always thought Blek le Rat was a major influence on Banksy. I'm curious why he isn't mentioned?
Also, what sources are you using? Have the street artists that you've listed acknowledged that these forebears influenced their work?

Artists' Influences, by Feral Things on Aug 3, 2016 17:21:39 GMT 1, [...] I always thought Bl ek le Rat was a major influence on Ban ksy. I'm curious why he isn't mentioned? Also, what sources are you using? Have the street artists that you've listed acknowledged that these forebears influenced their work? Yes, all the influences that I've cited above have been acknowledged by the artists. They come from a combination of interviews, books and conversations that I've had with some of the artists from over the years, but I can't remember the exact source for each one I'm afraid.
The names above were just a sample of the people who have influenced each artists and, yes, I think Blek le Rat has been an influence on Banksy too. My suspicion is that the quote about 'every time I think I've painted something slightly original, I find out that Blek le Rat has done it as well, only 20 years earlier' has been slightly misinterpreted but nevertheless I'd be very surprised if he wasn't an influence.
Some other people that I think have influenced Banksy (some acknowledged, some just presumed on my part) include Inkie, Richard Hambleton, Ernest Pignon-Ernest, Andy Warhol and John Nation who ran Barton Hill Youth Club in Bristol (Banksy is quoted in 'Children of the Can' as saying; 'It might sound a little crazy, but I think John Nation, that shouty red-faced social worker who made it all happen, has had more impact on the shape of British culture over the past twenty years than anyone else to come from the city.')

Artists' Influences, by RYCA on Sept 12, 2016 19:38:04 GMT 1, Who came first with the action figures, RYCA or Sicklord? I know Sicklord started his circa 2005.
Sucklord has been doing figures a while , longer than me, but he's not the only one. Some really talented guys out there , Healey made, trap toys , killer bootlegs are too name but a few.
The "influence" is the original POTF Star Wars toy line and being a toy collector since 1995. My moc fascination rebooted with the potf2 line and the "enhanced" Star Wars trilogy release.
Sucklord gay empire is genius and defiantly was an inspiration for me to do my own "acid troopers" a few years back. Now I'm using the format to make hero respect/worship pieces, political commentary, religious heckling and straight up funnys**t.
I didn't release my first print until 2006. So defiantly sucklord , but if you're interested the resin bootleg figure scene is thriving and I have two more exclusives launching in NyCC soon. As always Instagram is best for everything I'm making or working on

Josรฉ Parlรก: the Beat-calligraphy of Brion Gysin, the wildstyle of Andrew Witten (AKA Zephyr) and shui-mo hua calligraphy

El Mac: the Art Nouveau paintings of Alphonse Mucha, the Chicano graffiti of Mando Rascรณn and the dream-like corporeal depictions of Gustav Klimt
