Guaanie - Collage Artist, by Guaanie on Mar 6, 2017 17:49:32 GMT 1, Hi guys,
I got a fair bit of interest when I did a giveaway back in November (which was amazing!) so I thought Iโd start a thread showcasing some of my newer work which Iโll be updating from time to time.
For those who missed the giveaway, Iโm a collage artist who creates abstract, urban compositions that are inspired and influenced by brutalist and modernist architecture. My collages all use found imagery from a wide range of magazines and books and are hand-cut and pasted onto 220gsm paper. The end result is open to the viewerโs interpretation โ it could be a building. It could be a landscape. Or it could be both.
Iโm working on a new project at the moment that will hopefully be hitting the streets in the next few weeks.
If you are interested in any of the pieces, let me know - they are ยฃ50 each (+ยฃ5/ยฃ10 P&P for UK/International)
If you'd like to follow me on Instagram, you can find me here:
guaanie www.instagram.com/guaanie/
Collage No.10 - SOLD
Collage No.11
Collage No.12 - SOLD
Collage No.13
Collage No.14 - SOLD
Thanks for looking.
Mods - if this isn't the right place for this thread, please move it!

Underwater art, by Guaanie on Mar 2, 2017 14:15:23 GMT 1, Ahhh... So you've been to Myanmar? I was there in December. What a beautiful country and wonderful, friendly people. I can't help but recommend that everyone goes there.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by Guaanie on Feb 22, 2017 14:45:15 GMT 1, Not so much a buy but more of a gift...
...So, my girlfriend was art-directing a shoot with McBess which involved him drawing then scanning one of his illustrations before throwing both the scanner and image out of a window! As we are both big fans of his, she asked him for the original drawing.
I think it looks pretty ace - damage and all! It'll look pretty nice framed up methinks!
Here's a behind the scenes video of him flinging it out!

Bambi ๐ฌ๐ง Street Art โข Print Release โข Art For Sale, by Guaanie on Feb 20, 2017 15:58:42 GMT 1, iirc, the same wall has had 3 different pieces on it between around 2006-2008, the last of which was the 'happy meal caveman'... until some shรฎtehawk hacked it out. incidentally, the caveman was auctioned a last week at faam miami, anyone know if it actually sold? No matter how much I try, I can't work out what the letters iirc stand for. I think I need to know to fully appreciate your post thugs. IIRC it stands for 'If I Recall Correctly'

Banksy Toxic Mary, Virgin Mary Print, by Guaanie on Feb 16, 2017 18:20:07 GMT 1, I agree, it's a beautiful print in the flesh and for me, it's a classic Banksy - however, I would say that as I have one
I do think that the image is polarising, but does anyone know the actual meaning behind it? I'm in the environmental camp - i.e. we're harming our children due to the fact a similar image was used by Surfers Against Sewage. I guess a lot of people see it as an anti-religion piece though.
Anyway - anyone know if this has a price yet?

Can you match the artist to the album covers?, by Guaanie on Feb 6, 2017 17:45:35 GMT 1, I didn't think I knew of her but then I just checked out the rest of work and realised she also did the cover for The Holy Bible by the Manics. An absolutely perfect choice of artwork for that album.

Reactivated In Park St, London, by Guaanie on Feb 2, 2017 9:22:45 GMT 1, Thought I'd share this as I noticed it on my way to work this morning. Looks like the reactivation team have been out overnight. I'll see if I can get a better picture later.
Bonus inclusion of a Banksy (is it real?) and associated scrawlings - someone has rubbed out the Laugh Now and written 'Banksy would be nothing without Blek Le Rat'.

Banksy Artwork, VALUATION, by Guaanie on Jan 25, 2017 12:39:12 GMT 1, Signed Toxic Mary about ยฃ12k, signed Flower Thrower ยฃ42k What about the unsigned Toxic Mary? Unsigned, I'd say ยฃ3,500 - ยฃ4K for a mint example (private sale). Around ยฃ3,750 - ยฃ4,250 for a gallery sale. Edit: this may be a little on the low side as I haven't seen any recent private sales.

Street Art / Urban Art Documentary, by Guaanie on Jan 11, 2017 9:27:20 GMT 1, A Brief History of Graffiti - BBC. Unfortunately this expires tomorrow on iPlayer but definitely worth a watch if you can catch it today/tonight!
It's a very interesting doc investigating the reasons why people are compelled to 'scribble and scratch lasting mementos to their successors into any available surface' and looks at how these scribblings have developed into a legitimate art-form.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by Guaanie on Jan 6, 2017 12:16:37 GMT 1, ...And she's up on the wall! So, so happy with this - 'The Me I Never Knew' by Harland Miller - from an edition of 50 and floated in a white box frame by MFM.
There's no way in the world pictures can do this print justice. It's by far and away the best quality screen print in my collection. If you haven't seen a Miller print in the flesh, do try and have a look - the depth of colour and finish is stunning.
Cameo appearances in the above by Mobstr, Louise McNaught, Mr Bingo, Rob Ryan, Jessica Walsh, Chris Bracey, Adam Bridgland, Daniel Mernagh, David Shrigley and my Grandad (via his WW2 Medals!).
Thanks for letting me be a big proud show-off!

HARLAND MILLER 'THE ME I NEVER KNEW', by Guaanie on Jan 5, 2017 11:08:00 GMT 1, Amazing piece Ruggs - you must be over the moon. I've just come back from travelling over Christmas and finally got mine up on the wall yesterday. I really can't stop staring at it - favourite piece in my collection for sure.
It was a bit of a mission getting it up! I'll post some pics over the next few days.

Best gig and sporting events you've been at. , by Guaanie on Jan 5, 2017 10:00:00 GMT 1, In the past six months: Christine & The Queens - Latitude (the morning after the Nice truck attack) - relatively small BBC6 tent compared to her Glasto outing, and highly charged, emotional atmosphere Radiohead - Roundhouse, 1st night. Enough said Melanie de Biasio - Jazz Cafe - she opened with a 34mins rendition of Blackened Cities Mutual Benefit - Cecil Sharp House, Camden - great venue and v intimate gig. Perfect antidote to the USA elections Oh wow. Christine & The Queens were bloody brilliant! I was seriously blown away. Same with Grimes - did you see her??

100 post / Black Friday Giveaway Shenanigans!, by Guaanie on Nov 25, 2016 13:04:05 GMT 1, Hi guys,
I've hit 100 posts (and it's Black Friday) so I wanted to give something back to this forum that I've learnt so much from, so I'd like to give away three of my original hand-cut collages.
I'm currently focusing on creating abstract, urban compositions where the viewer is unsure as to whether they are looking at a building or landscape or both. I'm hugely inspired by the change and endless demolition, development, reconstruction and recycling that exists in the city.
Each of the collages use found imagery from a wide range of magazines and books and are pasted onto A3 220gsm paper.
Just like this post and I'll pick three names at random on Monday afternoon (hoping I have more than 3 likes!!!).
Oh and it would be LOVELY if you could give me a lil follow on Instagram too!
