I would like to see more Ironic art?, by Moron on Jul 17, 2008 19:52:43 GMT 1, Maybe it's just me but I was drawn to banksy's play on politics and other ironic style things. I would love to see more of this style from other artists art.
Anyone else out there who loves this style and would like more artists to create more?
Before someone says it; yes it may be overdone and old, but it's a talking point and it's great to see friends reactions when they visit.

Agreed on both counts. I figured that Moron might find the works of interest, based on his post and their political themes in some cases, but yes more satirical than ironic. I think in many ways Ron's work is directly comparable to Banksy's in the case of his bill-board projects (but also in many cases his indoor stuff too), because there exists a shared philosophy relating to freedom of speech and the corporate establishment. While the media used are not common to both artists, the messages can be similar and in many cases instantly conveyed.

I would like to see more Ironic art?, by Run Pig Run on Jul 18, 2008 21:37:49 GMT 1, I am currently working on a print called:
"An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face
A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...
It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures
Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out"
limited edition of sixty thousand signed and numbered ยฃ600 each

I would like to see more Ironic art?, by crazyarsemother on Jul 18, 2008 22:08:51 GMT 1, Its like a predictable print of a nun with a gun
or a bad image of the Pope in a threesome,
Its like a cross-dressing MP done in two tone,
or a Budhist Monk of the telephone.

I concede there's not much irony in the work of RE. The point was subsequently addressed above. While I don't find his work funny as such, I think he does incorporate humour in some of his imagery and metephors, such as the monster in McStarry Night. There are even imo elements of irony in some pieces as well. For example the recent Camoboy release: It appears to liken youngsters enlisting in the armed forces to those running away to join the circus. The motivations are probably very similar in many of both of these sets of cases and I think there's a certain amount of irony and DARK humour in such a comparison. Although in the main I do agree with you and his messages themselves are certainly no laughing matter.

Biting dog took me a while to get.. I think he means he's biting banksys work/humor
www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=biting
urban dictonary:
Copying in a plagiaristic context, though mainly just unoffical fad-related things; such as made-up words, clothing styles, types of music, etc.
Dude, those kids are totally biting on my style!
