LUSH Print Release - 3rd July, by Sundowner on Jul 6, 2012 10:06:28 GMT 1, Interesting show and the guy clearly has illustrative talent, but the unhealthy obsession with dissing other street artists, the police and genitalia did start to raise questions in my mind around how much appeal he will have in the long-term. Not much had sold when I left at 8pm....

LUSH Print Release - 3rd July, by otomi on Jul 6, 2012 18:28:34 GMT 1, Looks like a great show. Certainly new imagery for street art. No military objects mixed with flowers or animals.
How old is the guy?

LUSH Print Release - 3rd July, by parp on Jul 7, 2012 14:23:17 GMT 1, I found this show and Lush making a point relevant to the current situation in street art. A scene that has become for the much part about 'safe' wall friendly images, drawings of stik men being considered an art revelation and yes plenty of flogging dead horses. The list could go on. Yes the show is shocking, but so is a lot of good street art. Most of all it is a bit of fun and I would highly recommend that people go experience it.

LUSH Print Release - 3rd July, by Deleted on Jul 7, 2012 14:45:48 GMT 1, After seeing these images I dont think this is shocking or insulting or wrong at all.. Ings like childish, lack of creativity and over the top come first to mind. He clearly picked one theme, worked that out. It's the kind of expo that is more or less one entire piece. Good artists can make that very interesting, where I see here just one point of view worked out, taken up a lot of square meters.
I'm probably less "street" than lush, but for me street art and graffiti have always been a discovery between artist, media amd the environment. I'm interested in this kind of work because the amazing skill, the message which is often told using irony and sarcasm and the iconfrontation this results in. The sarcasm and irony in this work is so in your face and non-subtle that it takes away the edge he wants so much, the skills are mediocre and because of all that "shouting" I don't feel challenged to explore his message.
Maybe all his nuance is just too much and I should just see some gay unicorns fucking around, also fine, but then at least get that ass tighter ad otherwise the unicorn om top wont feel a thing in a loose ass like that.

LUSH Print Release - 3rd July, by dotdot on Jul 7, 2012 14:52:49 GMT 1, tall comes down to how you see what you see... really. you either see it litrally .. figuratively or... perhaps as an expression of a confrontation your head has with both the artist and the message therein.
for me.. i reminded me of a cross between early sniffin glue / vague mag and... weasels ripped my flesh... which is about it.
would it sit nicely on my wall.... or any wall. probably not.. but then i think that was not the point of the show.. perhaps.
if it sends a charge to the viewers heid then .. that's about it.
alas it's not the chris morris of street art.. sorry
pa ? thoughts ?

LUSH Print Release - 3rd July, by Deleted on Jul 8, 2012 0:29:07 GMT 1, The dead horse has been removed. Mop marks still on the floor today. I'm visiting every day & strangely enough, every day i see something I'd missed before. Might say more about me than the general public but somehow i doubt it.
