THE CREAM ROSE TO THE TOP, by giiiant on Aug 2, 2008 14:28:15 GMT 1, bit tragic that the cream of an entire movement can be summed up in 6 names
what about blu? just because you cant make money off his stuff doesnt mean he isnt there. he blows everyone out of the water except neate and b when it comes to painting walls.

While I think it is too early to judge the scene at this point, it is true that most art movements end up with 5-10 at various heights near the top and then a big hole the rest get chucked in to....

Can see why you choose to keep your trap shut for so long now.

THE CREAM ROSE TO THE TOP, by slowmo on Aug 2, 2008 16:14:27 GMT 1, Tried to argue why Os Gem and Parla should be left out, then thought about all the people in this. No list yet, way too early. Remove Micallef though, he is not of this scene, Laz just make it seem that way

THE CREAM ROSE TO THE TOP, by Deleted on Aug 2, 2008 16:35:19 GMT 1, I think everyones list would differ a little though wouldnt it?, im seeing names i havent seen before (not hard to believe with me i know) all the time like "Rowdy" or "Case" for instance, and also sometimes i dont look properly at an artists work initially and then later i will notice it more like i am doing now with Choe, so i suppose my list will always fluctuate. That good or bad?.

I agree Wizbong. Although I love those 6 names at the top, I am also liking some of the new kids (or newly discovered.). Take Case who you mentioned. Frankie has some great stuff from them. Love that Chocolate Girl.
For me it's a little like going seeing a band on the way up, great little gigs etc. Once they get to filling the M.E.N all the excitment seems to change. That doesn't mean I stop liking them, just rather have the £10 ticket rather than the £65

THE CREAM ROSE TO THE TOP, by worlddomination on Aug 2, 2008 22:33:20 GMT 1, just the cream of the bunch in a number of peoples opinion, i'm not much into micallef myself and would leave him off my list. agree there are a lot of great artists too but it's going to be difficult to join the club above, especially in the current climate, some good comments though from others

THE CREAM ROSE TO THE TOP, by taxidermot on Aug 3, 2008 2:01:25 GMT 1, just being wicked robinbanks
scum could be construed as a strong word.. used because it fitted with the opening statement…the named artists are regularly pilloried..i was recklessly just reinforcing the stereotype
i fully respect these artists and have absolutely no grievance towards them..enjoyed nick walker and dface street work no end when it was up but not sure yet about gallery work, though technically well executed and of interest, ..loved shephard fairey's andre the giant has a posse from very early but poster work doesn’t tickle my sensibilities...mr gunningham was included to highlight the disappointment being expressed about his 'name' being exposed and therefore able to be the cream and the ‘scum’
while i'm at it i'll comment on cream, banksy is a modern master, loved his street work from early on, was too dumb to think he made canvasses…the ability to personalise the impersonal stencil, making the medium his own, is genius..to me they are minimalist masterworks..seeing his stuff at cans festival reinforced his artistic stature in my mind..loads of fantastic work but banksy’s immediacy of execution and meaning was unsurpassed...neate is superb in street and gallery..consistency, immediacy, vibrancy...cream...cream..could write an essay
that’s as far as I can guess who I believe will be the cream, and by “cream” I mean those that will get regular mention in future art books found in schools and libraries
faile/os gemeos cannot be ignored as their street presence has been huge and their influence felt
micallef/parla..have never seen an original so can’t comment
my monitor is bum so can’t get a good view on net
others mentioned
choe- haven’t seen an original
blu - huge but needs expansion
eine - as mammal says about defining the city and his new work is looking impressive
there are loads of great street artists,
have my personal tastes
each one excites me for different reasons
where do you stop?

THE CREAM ROSE TO THE TOP, by pfffffffffft on Aug 3, 2008 2:46:45 GMT 1, In no particular order NEATE BANKSY FAILE OS GEM PARLA MICALLEF Its as simple as that
I disagree. Banksy is the only one dead on, his work is genius. However I also feel it's too early to tell. I think D*face, Beejoir, & Judith Supine could easily and quickly be added to that list in the blink of an eye.
Personally not a fan of Micallef or Faile, love Os Gem, and rather luke warm on Parla.
As for taxi's referring to the 4 top as scum, cant say I've met the rest but I have met shep and he is a very nice guy.

Just like I feel that Micallef and Neate are a giant no f**king way.
I think both D*face and Beejoir's work capture more of what is going on in urban art than do Neate, Parla, & Micallef.
And our lists will differ indeed. Being in New York we dont really see Micallef & Neate's here. It might have an influence on my perspective if I saw their work more on the streets.

1. Because they are bored as no Banksy print releases.
2. They want to be reassured that they have bought well.
3. Whats wrong with pointless lists  ?

It's an evolving scene though, and there's nothing to stop one of two of the up and coming artists to come in a claim a place at the top.

Correct indeed. Honestly I just dont get neate. It could just be a geographical thing as well. If you were to put a neate or micallef in front of me, my response would like be along the lines of "that's fine". To me personally, neither illicit emotion or thought, nor do I find the imagery so overwhelming that it sticks with me.
With most of the artists I do enjoy I find they do illicit emotion or provoke thought or are strong enough that they stay in my brain.
To each his or her own really.
