Connor Harrington - New "Grab Your Guise" Print, by Hubble Bubble on Aug 25, 2016 19:03:16 GMT 1, Coach I totally agree. I'm a (relatively) new member but I've seen a noticeable movement towards shouting about material gains rather than discussing aesthetic appreciation. There's a nasty undertone of financial gloating and attempts to inflate prices by predicting further rises. Not to say it didn't happen before but nowhere near as much. For what it's worth I'm not a great fan of Harrington, viewing his art as rather 'Athena 1970s poster'-like. But this seems a quality release and much more focussed on a theme and image. I feel the need for a Forum trip to an exhibition to discuss the work and have a few beers. HB Might have found the show to go to: urbanartassociation.com/thread/141088/ra-show-abstract-expressionism You beat me to it! That would be perfect for me. Let's do it.

An exhibition trip sounds like a splendid idea. Feral, 11, Steph, dibbs etc are usually game for that too. Can we leave it a month though? I have stuff "goin' down". Much better for me. September is a nightmare

Banksy mural destroyed, by Hubble Bubble on Aug 23, 2016 16:28:36 GMT 1, I think it's a really interesting situation. Far from being a benefit to the guy who's wall it was, it became an albatross around his neck. He didn't ask for it... it went up (presumably) illegally and, as a result, his livelihood has been threatened by its very existence. I suspect the artist would be in favour of its destruction in these circumstances. It's a transitory art form. It comes, it goes. By and large I think the artist has always said this. This one was briefly beautiful and, like a shooting star passing through our lives, now has gone.

Stanley Donwood ๐ฌ๐ง Dan Rickwood โข Radiohead โข Thom Yorke , by Hubble Bubble on Aug 17, 2016 9:25:00 GMT 1, Ludicrous I know but David Hockney's 'Grand Canyon'.
Sixty separate canvasses
20 metres x 7.5 metres
For anyone interested in the piece (which I was lucky enough to see at the RA Exhibition a few years back):
-----
In 1982 David Hockney took a series of photographs of the Grand Canyon that he placed together to form a collage. Hockney returned to the Grand Canyon theme in 1986, producing a large-scale photo-collage of sixty photographs; and again in 1997, when he painted A composition for a bigger Grand Canyon.
Hockney began work on the National Gallery of Australiaโs A bigger Grand Canyon in February 1998. The painting is a culminating statement about the depiction and experience of space. By using different views taken over a period of time, Hockney refers to Cubism, where a subject is depicted from multiple viewpoints; to Chinese scroll painting, where different time sequences and landscape elements come together to form an apparent whole; and to his own set designs for opera.
With its many viewpoints and shifting timeframe, A bigger Grand Canyon suggests what it is like to be in a landscape, to travel around it, to view tiny details as well as dramatic vistas, to see changing light and to trample the earth underfoot. The large format and extravagant colour has also been related to the spectacle of Hollywood and to representations of the sublime.
Hockney photographed the Grand Canyon in 1982, commenting later that 'โฆ there is no question โฆ that the thrill of standing on that rim of the Grand Canyon is spatial. It is the biggest space you can look out over that has an edge โฆ' He took a series of photographs which, with their multiple vanishing points, he placed together in a collage. Grand Canyon with ledge, Arizona, 1982, one of several such collages, was a crucial step in the making of A Bigger Grand Canyon. In 1986 the artist revisited his preferred collaged view of the Grand Canyon to produce a large scale photo-collage of sixty photographs, reprinting them using the full negatives, then abutting them to produce Grand Canyon with ledge, Arizona. 1982, collage # 2, made May 1986. In June and July 1997 Hockney made two long car trips from Los Angeles to Santa Fe and back: 'I'd been contemplating some sort of big landscape of the West โฆ I was experiencing a growing claustrophobia โฆ [and] stronger, the longing for big spaces.'
He painted two studies, one of nine canvases, the other of fifteen, and cleared his studio of everything else, except two related photo-collages. These formed the basis for A composition for A Bigger Grand Canyon. The painting is a culminating statement about the depiction of space and the experience of being within a space, or travelling through a space, over time. Hockney refers to the lessons of Cubism where a subject is depicted with multiple viewpoints, to Chinese scroll painting, where different time sequences and different elements of a landscape coalesce to form an apparent whole, and his own set designs for opera.
Hockney created his sixty-canvas work with as many viewpoints and points in time. The painting suggests what it is like to be in a landscape, to travel around it, to view tiny details as well as dramatic vistas, to see changing light, to trample the earth underfoot, and to feel the sun beating down. The viewer is able to round jagged outcrops, descend rocky steps, look down over dry river beds and view distant escarpments, while confronting at close hand strange sculptural forms. Marco Livingstone commented that 'A Bigger Grand Canyon places the viewer so convincingly at the canyon's south rim at Powell Point, one of the most spectacular vantage points, as to induce in some the vertiginous thrill of standing on the edge of a precipice so deep and extensive that it almost defies the imagination.'
The element of the Sublime has been noted by Paul Melia: 'The genre of landscape has been important to Hockney since the beginning of his professional career. Until relatively recently, however, he was unable to draw upon the Romantic or neo-Romantic tradition of landscape art: personal experience, empathy, quasi-magical feelings aroused by a place or location, spontaneity - all triggers of artistic production for older generations of [British] artists.' A Bigger Grand Canyon has links to the rich and awe-inspiring English Romantic tradition, but also to the Symbolist landscapes of Paul Gauguin and the Pont Aven artists. In their works the universal, the symbolic, are tapped while the pedestrian or the man-made is excluded. Hockney presents the Grand Canyon without evidence of human intrusion.
Brilliance of colour and vastness of space characterised the world of dreams when Hockney was growing up in the then heavily industrialised North of England. His Grand Canyon painting, according to Livingstone, recalls 'the magnificent spectacle of the Hollywood cinema which had helped draw him [Hockney] to the American West while he was a young boy day dreaming in Bradford'. A Bigger Grand Canyon is rich in golds, crimsons, scarlets, oranges, ochres and browns, and contrasts of brilliant blues and greens. The visual impact, on even the most jaded twenty-first century eye, is as powerful and confronting as a Fauve palette would have been in the restrained world at the beginning of the last century.

"The Pies" Liverpool Graffiti, by Hubble Bubble on Jul 20, 2016 12:27:26 GMT 1, Just heard a piece on Radio 5 Live. I pass some of their graffiti when I drive up to Manchester.
I love the story and the fact that they waited 30 years to make their first album and then have called it 'Best of The Pies'

Couldn't work out what he meant and then I realised he didn't like the piece. Must be plenty of folk out there with wall space for an original Eine being sold by a trusted forum member that's open to a deal.
GLWTS.
