Conor Harrington | The Unveiling | The Outsiders, by jayTown on Sept 16, 2014 18:35:42 GMT 1, If this was hand finished etc the price would probably triple. This way the print is accessible to all the fans which I personally think is a good thing.

Tilt "Bleu Pรฉtrole" print release, by jayTown on Sept 16, 2014 13:45:05 GMT 1, And still available. Personally think this is a really strong print but just don't the money for it at the moment...ยฃ100 less would of made it a more difficult decision.

Conor Harrington | The Unveiling | The Outsiders, by jayTown on Sept 16, 2014 6:01:09 GMT 1, But what is the meaning of the picture? There seems to be a lot of elements to it or references perhaps....i like to know what is going on, that's what makes it clever or thought provoking...can anyone shed some light? Great question. I don't have the answer, but only my interpretation. I think, like any good art, there is room for the viewer to interpret this piece from his/her own perspective. Having said this, an understanding of the context of Conor's previous bodies of work is important in order to appreciate the symbolism and messages Conor portrays in this piece. His recent shows "Dead Meat" & "A whole lot of trouble for a little bit of win" gave us an insight in to the themes of empire and the cycles of power important to Conor. Conor is particularly interested in the transition of the centre of power from the West to the East. Despite his paintings referencing the Baroque period they are very much concerned with our contemporary world. Paintings titled, "Who's World is this?", "When we were kings" and "For Want of a Kingdom, the Battle Was Lost" all reference Europe's economic and political decline in light of the rise of China. In "The Unveiling", we can see familiar motifs of power the UN flag, a globe, a renaissance bust resting on the floor, the trophy dead pheasant and a table of cornucopia (with the nude female) being unveiled (offered) to the 'emperor' (seated). Why are the symbols of empire placed on the floor? And symbols of excess / plenty commanding the attention of the protagonist? Is it a reference as to the moral state of our society in the west, that has allowed us to lose our grip on empire? Has decadence led to the fall of the West?ย The flag is vague and the globe is also indistinct, which further lends to my interpretation that the artist feels power is fading in plain sight, whilst the protagonist pays more attention to the 'offering'.ย I would be interested to see the complete body of work for the show, which I am sure would add clarity to interpreting this piece. What do others think? ย ย ย ย
Really interesting post! I keep trying to work out what countries are left on the globe. Looks more like part of Africa?

BNE RELEASE 18SEP - HERE WE GO AGAIN!, by jayTown on Sept 11, 2014 16:11:37 GMT 1, This guy is a complete con artist. He's now using the shit storm he created last time for his own benefit and to con more people. The fact that he's no longer using paypal makes this seem all the more dodgy.

I know his work has divided opinion on here but the guys had a pretty rough time of it with his health and would be great to support this exhibition of his. If anyone else fancies going might be a good excuse to grab a beer.

DALeast ๐จ๐ณ Wuhan, China โข Street Art โข Based in Cape Town, by jayTown on Sept 5, 2014 23:13:15 GMT 1, surely couldn't be me and my wife you are talking about? She lined up for me since I was stuck at work today. Here is a pic of the print.... Its beautiful, but again, I feel like the cropping is off... A bit too close for comfort. I really really like the image though, and with creative framing it'll be just fine.ย
Yeah agree. Lots of image for the space, doesn't quite seem to work.
