Curious why no one seems to collect, care or talk about KAN., by nex on Nov 2, 2015 3:21:55 GMT 1, Exactly and hence why using a blanket statement of 'opportunistic thugs' is doing a disservice to actually trying to understand why it happened. You might want to re-read this guy's posts again - he is not using it as a blanket statement.
'A significant majority were opportunistic thugs' reads pretty all encompassing to me.

Curious why no one seems to collect, care or talk about KAN., by nex on Nov 1, 2015 23:32:52 GMT 1, What makes one teenager set fire to a shop in a riot, versus the next child from the same socio-economic background who chooses not to? The reasons are multifactorial. Exactly and hence why using a blanket statement of 'opportunistic thugs' is doing a disservice to actually trying to understand why it happened.

Chevrier,Handiedan and Mimi Sholz at JLG, by nex on Apr 17, 2015 8:32:57 GMT 1, Why are you even 'countering' a discussion about artwork that you do not like in the first place? .. I can't speak for others but personally I want people new to urban art to learn that there's constructive discussion to be had about the validity of views.

Tabby 🇦🇹 Street Art • New Print Release , by nex on Apr 17, 2015 4:34:53 GMT 1, If what you're saying is that this piece lacks depth, then you're quite right it does. And that will effect it's longevity. In the battle of "which one will outlast the other," I will take Drones over Ronald McDonald any day.
That wasn't the point I was making.

And that will effect it's longevity. You do realize Tabby is new right? if you ask artists about the type of work they had when they started, I am sure it's night and day after all the years of growing as an artist work wise.
Tabby maybe new but stencil art isn't, a new person should innovate using knowledge of the past and one of their first goals should be to improve on what's come before, not produce work that is actually less progressive than work some 10 years old (the napalm connection is beguiling on sooooo many levels)

Tabby 🇦🇹 Street Art • New Print Release , by nex on Apr 17, 2015 4:23:06 GMT 1, I don't like it because it's poorly constructed and ill thought out, I even say as one image it would be poor. My explanation is however terrible. 'Jack & Jill crossed with Napalm. ' Because it's kids running and there's an element of danger? 'Okay' New your kidding right? Your nit picking at this point. Sorry to say but art with a clear cut message is more appealing then something that is cluttered with hidden meanings. The days of an artist putting a dot in the middle of a picture and saying "What does this mean to you" is over. If this is the kind of art you are into, then street art isn't for you. Your opinion on why you think tabby'sTabby's work is not appealing gives me a headache. It's tons better then Maya Hay UK in my opinion. I can argue all her art consists of is bright colors and waves of lines. It's all subjective.

Tabby 🇦🇹 Street Art • New Print Release , by nex on Apr 17, 2015 4:08:18 GMT 1, That's a really odd comparison. In summary I find the image fractured, the message clumsy, the aesthetic poor, I'm hard pushed to see why it's garnered any sort of interest. The very fact you need the kid flying the kite doesn't work for me, have one image, make the kite look like a drone, put Obamas head on the side, do something, and yet it would still be a poor idea. It's seems amateurish and Ill thought out. But anyway it's just my subjective opinion not the law. I'm a tad confused now. You don't like the image because it's not one image/object? The aesthetic is similar to Jack & Jill crossed with Napalm. That was part of why I liked it, because of the familiar composition.

Tabby 🇦🇹 Street Art • New Print Release , by nex on Apr 17, 2015 2:51:22 GMT 1, I have to say I think the drones image is dreadful, the very fact it has to explain what it's saying by showing a kid with a kite irks me no end - sorry - but I couldn't let it lie. That's like saying Ronald McDonald and Mickey Mouse shouldn't be in Napalm. That's what gives the work narrative and meaning. What are you f**king left with without that?

That's fair, no harm done. And opinions always welcome. I don't see the kite's presence as 'explaining' the concept; I believe that a stencil of a child being chased by a drone would fall flat, and the presence of the other child creates the necessary juxtaposition.
You've just explained why the kid with kite explains the concept by being there, to my understanding that's exactly why it doesn't work, it's very clumsy and frustrating.
Tabby needed to take some more time over what he was trying to express, but to tell you the truth, that's the issue with nearly all their work.

Banksy Dumbo Print and Video, by nex on Mar 11, 2015 23:51:18 GMT 1, Well in fact they actually are illegal. I put it in quotes because while against the law for the most part they are desirable. Just a huge contrast to most all other large names that get flown out to a sectioned off wall with a lift and paint waiting. Not that there is anything wrong with that either but my poi t is he's as "street" as it gets. Oh yes. Like after they buffed that one they thought might be racist but then realized it was a Banksy and said they would 'welcome' him to paint another. Lol. Real illegal. Haha [
Murk you seem to be wilfully missing the point to fit your own agenda.
Surely the point is (and banksy obviously knows this) is 'his illegal work is now 'legal' because of his value and fame', it doesn't stop the creation from being illegal but just warps the worlds view of it due to the factors I've mentioned. He knows this and plays off this. That's actually an element of his work that has in my opinion taken it off the street and conceptually made it much closer to contemporary art. There's not many street artist who can do that illegally, or choose to do it as so.

Banksy Gorilla Print Release - POW, by nex on Mar 8, 2015 21:45:20 GMT 1, Quick note
-Pest Control = POW (look at who signs the COA's). They're a company that Banksy has little or nothing to do with anymore. They have their own financial interests to protect.
This is 100% incorrect, totally and utterly, sorry.

Invader for dran, by nex on Feb 23, 2015 0:39:09 GMT 1, Is the dark meaning the sun going down on African wildlife and freedom of the wilderness, which we can then relate to our own lives in the modern age? Nice post nex - as it got me thinking. Perhaps there is more to this picture than I initially understood.
And you've just added a meaning i'd not considered, that's the wonderful thing about a - pause - a thought and then a comment. My thought when I looked at sunset was a controlling abusive relationship, there are scratches on the back, there's a power relationship, there's being held to consider something the other wants, the fear of violence and yes death.

Martin Whatson Toucan Print , by nex on Feb 22, 2015 22:41:53 GMT 1, What's The deal?! If someone have personal issues with someone, please deal with that between eachother! Everybody has there own taste in art as in everything else, thats what's so great about it! This forum is just becoming more and more negative! There are always some people throwing s**t, if you don't like it, just keep that to yourself. There are so many ways of art, we just can't like em all :-) Todays lesson, comment what you like :-) Have a great one, I love this Tucan btw!
Whilst the sentiment is worthy, what you actually suggest stunts growth, knowledge and learning. Critique yes, but with substance and humilty.

DRAN on Global Art Traders (GAT), by nex on Feb 14, 2015 0:56:19 GMT 1, I've no idea why being hand sprayed means anything when it comes to this series, they're all hand finished and drawn to an extent. The image created is way more important with this series.

Dran Show • Public Execution, London 2015, by nex on Feb 5, 2015 9:44:37 GMT 1, Why do you all think there's something for sale?
I assumed that was 'humour' re the wall spec and pretty much not workable unless it's something that's free on the sketch front. Could be completely wrong obviously.
