No problem! Steve Burden is definitely one to watch, since he gave up his successful career in design to pursue paining fulltime in 2015 he has continued to grow as an artist developing his style and winning awards along the way. Come along and have a chat with him. Top bloke

Bristol Museum • Paint Pot Angel Poster • WITHDRAWN , by rosac on Jan 12, 2018 23:23:47 GMT 1, But what is the meaning behind the art ? but why has the frikin angel got a pot of pint paint on its bonce? any more thoughts on the image? It may be a commentary on the dangers of: (i) intolerance towards minority groups and marginalised individuals; or (ii) social apathy in the face of intolerance expressed by others (which can quickly escalate to incitement to violence, and to violence itself). Specifically in this case, there's a slippery slope we go down when we trivialise angelophobia and acts which, if directed towards humans, would constitute hate crimes. We must remain vigilant. And we must keep fighting the nefarious ideas of angelophobes. The latter include rationalists, who brazenly deny the actual existence of supernatural beings (not just angels, but also fairies, pixies, and even god, for Christ's sake) — thus denying their very right to exist. The famous poem by the German Lutheran pastor, Martin Niemöller, comes to mind: First they came for the Angels, and I did not speak out— Because I was not an Angel.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out— Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.____________ In other words, if someone looks hard enough, they can project and come up with just about any meaning that suits them. ____________ But note as well that your questions seem based on a premise, that the art has a particular meaning. This isn't necessarily the case. Perhaps it was never intended to have meaning. [Which, to be clear, is different from suggesting that no thought went into the work.] For me, the sculpture is purely a visual gag — amusing because it's a crude act of disrespect (or, rather, a representation of such an act) against the kind statue often held in reverence. I would class the work in the same category as a piece of turf placed on the head of Churchill's statue in Parliament Square in 2000. Or googly eyes being added to a (faux) Rembrandt self-portrait. Additional humour is offered by the context of the museum setting, which formalises and elevates what would otherwise be broadly dismissed as wanton vandalism. ____________ Despite the above, I did enjoy reading the interpretation given by Gurn. Now, whether the paint-can "halo" was Ban ksy's intent at the time of creation, or purely a happy accident, is anyone's guess. The bottom of the paint pot appears to represent a halo, suggesting that goodness can be a result of subversion....that's my take.
Yeah visual gag for me. Just wondered if I was missing something and wether anyone actually cared. :-)

Bristol Museum • Paint Pot Angel Poster • WITHDRAWN , by rosac on Jan 12, 2018 18:03:49 GMT 1, Don’t understand the obsession with posting flat. Especially on a £5 poster. I’ll give you a clue it’s not going to arrive in a wooden crate. And if it’s damaged I’m sure they’ll just print off another. A print/poster sent flat in an envelope is far worse than a tube.
