David gives Barack an EINE Canvas, by cassiuslegrande on Jul 20, 2010 20:45:50 GMT 1, There's not much i agree with David Cameron about... but how about this... British Prime Minister David Cameron has given the President of the United States Barack Obama a Ben EINE canvas as a gift on his first state visit.... loads of press, try the Sun for starters www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage/news/3062183/Cameron-Dont-blame-BP-for-bombers-release.html..

From The Sun:
"The President stuck to the art theme with his gift - a signed lithograph by well-known pop artist Ed Ruscha chosen for its red, white and blue colours matching the two countries' flags."

"Mr Obama was more lavish on Tuesday, giving Mr Cameron a signed lithograph by Ed Ruscha, a work of modern art featuring the red, white and blue colours of the two countriesโ flags."
"His wife, Samantha, chose a painting by Ben Eine, entitled โ21st century cityโ, for the presidential couple along with some candles, while the Obamasโ two children were presented with some Hunter boots, the footwear of choice for Britainโs horsey county set."

David gives Barack an EINE Canvas, by Daniel Silk on Jul 20, 2010 22:11:26 GMT 1, www.guardian.co.uk/world/2010/jul/20/obama-cameron-special-relationship-gifts
"The Camerons' choice of the ultra-contemporary Eine and his painting 21st century city, a collection of spray- painted, multicoloured letters on doorfronts in and around east London valued at ยฃ2,500, shows Cameron's continued willingness to hug a hoodie who has gone astray.
In an interview with the Observer, Eine admitted he had been arrested 20 times for spraying graffiti on walls, the kind of vandalism that the Eric Pickles of this world so much disapprove.
He told the paper: "I was brought up in south London and I started out in the world of graffiti when I was about 14 because I wanted to be part of that hooded tracksuit gang thing. I did it pretty hardcore for about 20 years ‑ I've been arrested 15 and 20 times, and the last time I had a close escape from prison."
The picture will look great in the Roosevelt room, alongside the staid portraits of Lincoln. Samantha Cameron, exhausted with a fourth child due in September, was not herself present to hand over the present, or to receive presents from the Obamas."

David gives Barack an EINE Canvas, by walshy on Jul 20, 2010 22:55:15 GMT 1, So it was Samantha Cameron who's really the big EINE fan I wonder what Obama thinks of it?
No one is a big fan, it was donated and then they chose it... its not like they sent a guy down especially to see eine. I really wouldnt read too much into it.... id be supprised if this ever see's a wall again

David gives Barack an EINE Canvas, by atomone on Jul 20, 2010 23:29:03 GMT 1, He originally painted EXCITING for the theme, but they didn't think it was positive enough! So he thought the other canvas would be perfect! He was running around till the early hours doing it in order to get it on the plane in time for 8am...which he made by a whisker! EINE took the call and had the one day deadline! Now that's commitment!
