IS THE FEMALE FORM MORE POPULAR THAN THE MALE?, by Dr Plip on Oct 26, 2016 16:08:28 GMT 1, Have you ever noticed how images of women seem more widespread in urban art, than images of men?
Even female artists seem to prefer to paint images of women rather than men.
Why does it seem like people would rather have prints featuring women/girls on their walls instead of men/boys?
Is the female form just genuinely more pleasing than the male? Guys, are we hideous to look at?

IS THE FEMALE FORM MORE POPULAR THAN THE MALE?, by stelio on Oct 26, 2016 17:53:07 GMT 1, Feel like most of the collectors I have met from here and EB seem to be predominately male, so it's not too surprising knowing the target maket in this hobby is male that we are more keen to the female related art than ones with males.
Just my two cents.

IS THE FEMALE FORM MORE POPULAR THAN THE MALE?, by Harveyn on Oct 26, 2016 17:57:34 GMT 1, Strange my collection does not reflect that at all. Just did a quick check.
Urban Art: Male images 20 vs Female 4
Non Urban Art: Male images 16 vs Female 7
Not even going to start on the animals and their gender ........

IS THE FEMALE FORM MORE POPULAR THAN THE MALE?, by pippyt75 on Oct 26, 2016 18:36:39 GMT 1, ^^ really great post when you see all those fellas lined up in such iconic images. I guess it's still (sadly) also the case that there are more male urban artists than female - maybe something about that "street" sneaker culture in general. There are also more male characters in Star Wars than female! ๐ Don't know about you but I'm looking forward to mets reply to this thread!

I'm not sure how to calculate the ratios.

Women seek light, men seek the dark.

I agree. It just feel like sometimes that if an artist is trying to create a pretty picture, it'll be a female face/form. If an artist is trying to create a more brutal or raw image, the kind that looks like they've taken a paint-covered spade to the face or a corpse and beaten it for a few hours, it's more likely to be male.
It just feels like we're more uncomfortable with images of pretty men.
Or they're just really boring and we're less likely to want to have sex with them.

Edit:
Banksy has done two Queen images that I can think of, but probably done more and I think the queen has featured in a lot of street art by different artists.
Dont let your political thinking always cloud your views A gallery show featuring art of the Queen doesn't have to mean its supportive of the Royals, it would most likely be the opposite.

I don't have that kind of problem. I forced myself to look into the mirror once a day and - with the time - got used to that male beauty looking back at me. I understand though, that this process of habituation might produce the need for face surgery for the one or other of us male human beings. Not everyone is blessed with irressistible goodliness like you and me ... Edit: |
