RYCA ๐ฌ๐ง Ryan Callanan โข Star Wars โข Smiley โข New Release , by bentheartfan on Oct 30, 2016 13:50:05 GMT 1, Bringing it back to the art in question......easy pass for me!!!!! I don't know if I like the art yet, but my wife saw it and says she loves it.
She is a feminist who reads articles like this: www.nytimes.com/2016/10/29/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-women.html and really loved the tear coming from the painting's subject's eyes.

Kaws @ the Modern Art Museum in Fort Worth, by bentheartfan on Oct 23, 2016 19:08:21 GMT 1, I reckon that due to multi buyers/ flippers that this so called open edition is abandoned as a really bad idea as it clearly unmanageable Why is that? It seems to me that the open edition, with better inventory and stock management, would put flippers out of business. If Kaws wants to put more art in people's homes, vs keep values high for those that already own (& or flippers), that would work.

Gonefellow ๐ฌ๐ง Print Release โข Street Art โข Art For Sale, by bentheartfan on Oct 22, 2016 23:33:06 GMT 1, Hi there ! Its funny that ( we all know how you - me included - are in a hurry to know if it's a Banksy or Not ) nobody dared to answer or write in this thread ! Why ? You don't like Gonefellow? Or this print ? You did not have time to F5 on it ? You don't care ? You think that is a scam ? Etc etc ( i am not in your mind so i don't know what do you think , anyway ... ) Are you all afraid that this turns iut to be a Banksy image and that you scared away his entire team? And make fools out of you. No mention on this , no critics on UAA, unusual and weird!... We have long threads about B. dusts, glue and gloss, mirages... why notching on this one ? Are you all gone ? Thank you. I'm here... nice print ... but nothing compels me to post over and over on this thread. I don't think Goodfellow is Banksy ...
If Banksy WAS going to release under a pseudonym to make art affordable etc, it'd be cheaper and a much larger edition. (And I don't buy the whole premise to start with, just saying)

Artists Style plagiarism, by bentheartfan on Oct 9, 2016 11:04:28 GMT 1, I just came across this artist from Canada called Fucci whose works remind me a whole lot of Parra. I hadn't seen Fucci's work until you mentioned it. I think you make a fair assessment I like Fucci's work. I think there are similarities and differences, between his work and Parras. Such is life.
To quote the artist: "I donโt care. If you feel you like you own a certain style of art, I think thatโs ridiculous. I donโt want to be compared and I donโt want to ride on anyoneโs coattails. Iโm doing my own thing and heโs doing his."
There is a nice Fucci show opening next week in Toronto which we are going to

I've heard of Kim Kardasian but have no clue what she does. Not icons for me. Mine would be Bob Dylan, John Peel, Morrisey, Strummer, Weller and Jim Morrison in the music world. True icons, every one. Icons in the art and literary worlds are too many to mention. She become famous for sucking d#@k I think

Icons, by bentheartfan on Sept 24, 2016 12:48:09 GMT 1, Do you know who Sir Paul McCartney is ? His last three songs I'm aware of him working on (note: that is not conclusive, and reflects what I pay attention to) have been in collaboration with Mr Westย Yes, I've heard of Paul and the Beatles. Like their work, but prefer the Stones and the Doors. I'm afraid I don't particularly like his work since the Beatles. Regarding your other reply, Paul Weller was the singer songwriter with the Jam, and Joe Strummer with the Clash. John Peel was a radio DJ who championed music the mainstream radio programs wouldn't play, including punk and indie. For my generation, in the UK, and of those that veered towards the alternative scene, all were and remain icons. K West is not in the same league in my eyes, but that's probably because we have very different tastes, just as you had not heard of some of the names I mentioned.
Thx for the background on some of those names !

Icons, by bentheartfan on Sept 23, 2016 18:56:20 GMT 1, Worth noting that Kanye is already 20 years in... and over a decade as maybe the most famous hip hop musician still performing. I saw him in concert 14 years ago (while he was touring with an opening act for another rapper), and he's always been... well, the same. Not everyone's cup of tea, but he has shaped hip hop culture, which is a large influence these days of American pop culture (which is again an influence in part of global culture), longer than anyone else still actively creating and performing. Not his best work, but it is from 20 years ago (Kanye and Common, Chicago, 1996) Wasn't Common the dude from Hell on wheels? Very good series for anyone who hasn't seen it... Yes. Quite a good actor IMO.

Not that they aren't icons to others or people who have made enormous contributions to the arts scene (I'm guessing, as I'm not familiar enough with their CVs to cite)

LOVEBOT by Matthew Del Degan, by bentheartfan on Sept 23, 2016 18:30:38 GMT 1, This is typical of the work we got to know Del Degan by - lively works on the street or on laneway garage doors.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BKs2TySBfKz There are also a few pieces that I see from the highway and expressway when I have to drive into Toronto for business. Brightens up the drive when I'm sitting in bumper to bumper traffic!

LOVEBOT by Matthew Del Degan, by bentheartfan on Sept 23, 2016 14:51:18 GMT 1, Matthew Del Degan is a Canadian artist doing great work who I recently had the pleasure to meet. His protagonist is Lovebot, who since 2013 has spread all over Toronto and elsewhere in Canada too.
Very fun street pieces, and also creates statues, fine art (we have just commissioned a piece) and occasionally prints at pop up shows.
https://www.instagram.com/p/BKgbCQUBq86
https://www.instagram.com/p/BKaa56tBpx1
From a February 2016 article:
"In your travels around Toronto, you may have come across a small imprint, or a sticker, of a robot with the outline of a heart on its chest. Meet โLovebot,โ designed by graffiti artist Matthew Del Degan for a cold and unwelcoming city. โWe are not robots in this concrete jungle,โ he assures me. โWe have the ability to love.โ
In the laboratory
Del Degan recounts sitting in a streetcar, joking and laughing with another man whom he believed to be homeless when he noticed that the other passengers around them appeared like robots lost in their own digital worlds. Through Lovebot, he aimed to create a design that represented the joy weโre capable of.
โItโs been blood, sweat, and tears, many times for all three,โ Del Degan tells me. Heโd developed the design for a sculpture project in university, where he studied product design. It began as a clay sculpture of a robot with a heart, which soon turned into stickers, concrete robots, posters, toys, and more. Over the years the Lovebot has evolved from an art project to a large-scale movement.
Now, what started in the streets of Toronto has attracted international attention. On the occasions that Del Degan receives criticism for his art โ which he notes happens from time to time โ he is dismissive, saying, โWe all just need a hug.โ Despite the challenges, he has remained committed to his vision of expanding the Lovebot movement.
Learning to love
In 2013, there were 100 concrete Lovebots placed around the city. The locations were chosen aiming to monumentalize acts of kindness which had taken place in the corresponding location. The project also intends to acknowledge parts of the city that provide something good for the community, like food banks or homeless shelters.
โEach Lovebot has a story of love and kindness attached to it,โ Del Degan says. One of the locations chosen, for example, is next to the A & C Games shop at Spadina and College. He chose the game shop because it offered people the opportunity to play games and interact with others in person, as opposed to simply buying a game and leaving. The community that the shop fosters, in Del Deganโs opinion, warrants a Lovebot.
The various Lovebots seen around the city are captured and shared on the Instagram page, @lovebottherobot, or accumulated under the hashtag #loveinvasion. They vary from life-size renditions of the robot to smaller stickers that can be found outside restaurants or coffee shops.
The art is supported by volunteers and enthusiasts who work to place the robot around the city and to maintain the website. When new Lovebots are placed in Toronto, the websiteโs map is updated to show where each and every Lovebot is situated."

Icons, by bentheartfan on Sept 22, 2016 15:28:24 GMT 1, Will Kanye face the 20 Year Test, the wave of nostalgia sprinkled with icons? I'm not sure, other than his music the rest seems to be largely emperor's clothes (imo). Worth noting that Kanye is already 20 years in... and over a decade as maybe the most famous hip hop musician still performing. I saw him in concert 14 years ago (while he was touring with an opening act for another rapper), and he's always been... well, the same. Not everyone's cup of tea, but he has shaped hip hop culture, which is a large influence these days of American pop culture (which is again an influence in part of global culture), longer than anyone else still actively creating and performing.
Not his best work, but it is from 20 years ago (Kanye and Common, Chicago, 1996)
Will Kanye face the 20 Year Test, the wave of nostalgia sprinkled with icons? I'm not sure, other than his music the rest seems to be largely emperor's clothes (imo). Worth noting that Kanye is already 20 years in... and over a decade as maybe the most famous hip hop musician still performing.
