Found in 2008, by Bram on Nov 22, 2008 18:14:32 GMT 1, As we near the end of 2008, I thought it would be interesting to discuss which artists have appeared on your radar or come to the top of your wish list, that wasn't on it in before.
doesn't necessarily mean "break-through" artist, could be artists who has been around for a while but you have only just got into.
One of the artists that would be on the list would be Judith Supine. I can't remember seeing much of him in 2007 but this year I have really got into his stuff but not been able to get hold of anything yet (just missed out on the perfect wave print.).
Another one would be JR. Imo one of the most exciting prospects around.
Although Josh Keyes was definitely on my radar last year, the maturity of his work this year has put him into a different league and I can't wait to see what 2009 has in stall with a strong rumour of his 1st overseas show.
Be good to hear everyone's opinions of their new discoveries.

Found in 2008, by Tiki on Nov 22, 2008 18:21:05 GMT 1, Will Barras has definately found his way onto my radar. His work is spectacular and has an element of extream fluidity yet minimum effort. He's berbatov of the art world!
Another would have to be Prefab. They in my opinion is somewhere between Faile and Banksy and i cant get enough of it.
Finally and i know this is a touchy subject at times but i reccently did a swap for an Adam Koukoudakis and it has absoluptly blown me away. Pictures make his work look shit but in the flesh it is really impressive what he actually does.

His skills are insane!
Herakut is another great find for me, they are definetely very unique and I really dig their subjectmatters.

Found in 2008, by lee3 on Nov 22, 2008 22:55:21 GMT 1, Personally, I'm not acquiring much work by artists that i haven't heard of in the past. Instead, I'm trying to be a bit opportunistic and grab one, maybe two paintings that i would not have otherwise been able to afford a year (or even 3 months) ago that I would love to have anchor a part of the collection.
I just get hooked on a piece and though both my brain and my gut tell me that patience will be rewarded and i should pay more attention to the time honored saying of "risk not thy whole wad", GREAT art just has a unique way of consuming me. My name is Lee and I have a problem.

Yeah, forgot about Russ, really come on this year and you feel the best is yet to come.

Found in 2008, by Heavyconsumer on Nov 23, 2008 6:07:46 GMT 1, Feel a bit rude for omitting Grafter and downright foolish for not thinking of Vhils. Decided to only choose the 2 initially, but these guys have made a significant impression on me this year too. I think there could be quite special things to come from Vhils actually and I'm particularly hoping to see a return to the decollage medium, after his outrageously good piece for Graffle! One of my favourite pieces of 2008 so far.

Found in 2008, by raiden on Nov 23, 2008 6:29:36 GMT 1, Funny, so many artists on this board weren't fully on my radar before this year... Grafter has been top notch.
I really don't want to jinx it by saying all the artists I'm trying to scrap money together - because I collect on a pretty meager budget - as soon as I pay down my credit card enough to buy the pieces I have my eye on, I'll share.
Vhils came out of nowhere to blow my mind.
Two artists who were on my radar who took it up a notch were Eelus and Insect.
Know Hope has also entered my radar in a big way.
