Margo in Margate/Margo Mcdaid, by Martin M on Mar 19, 2024 17:38:25 GMT 1, Ive got a few of the originals on paper. I really like them and they are really good value at around ยฃ350. Good for Margo, she's getting a buzz around her work.

London Invasion - now a distant memory., by Martin M on Feb 19, 2024 9:03:14 GMT 1,
The 2009 London Invasion was fun. Canโt remember how Iโve kept this for so long, or how I got it home! There was a time when we had show openings almost every Thursday... i They were great times indeed, i remember them well. A few Thursdays a month in town, free drinks, art, interesting folk. I have one of those balloons somewhere too.

STOP โข Banksy Drone Stop Sign , by Martin M on Dec 27, 2023 16:33:02 GMT 1, This is a very grumpy thread for Christmas! Just to attempt to brighten it up.............. While you were all looking in Peckam, we had a nice visit from B up the road in Wimbledon to do a couple of stencils on our allotment (Yes, i'm old!) shed for some spuds and a few carrots! - Not for sale, to simply be enjoyed.

Your latest Art Purchase?, by Martin M on Dec 26, 2023 14:50:08 GMT 1, Purchased this Ed Ruscha 1970 work from a small auction house in September. Took a punt as it was wrecked. It hadnโt been out of the frame for 50 years and was torn and stained. Had it professionally restored and repaired and framed to the spec Ed/ gallerist provided via Gagosian when I reached out. Itโs museum standard glass and floated with a very small border in an untreated light maple moulding. Turned out well free image hosting Well worth the effort, looks great

For Sale - Hirst, Barry McGee, Josรฉ Parlรก, Timothy Curtis..., by Martin M on Dec 17, 2023 17:40:36 GMT 1, I have the Hirst framed almost identically. I believe there were 500 of them from OtherCriteria. Great price for someone. I just had one of these in a very well known auction. The Auction House (not me) catalogued these signed posters from OC as an edition of 100. They are very nice posters.

Hockney at the Lightroom, by Martin M on Nov 22, 2023 22:35:28 GMT 1, There might already be a thread on this but... Went to this last Saturday, quite sceptical about it, but it was brilliant. Highly recommend. Haven't been to this part of town in a while and wow its changed, much for the better.

Charlotte Keates ๐ฌ๐ง Painting โข Print Release โข For Sale, by Martin M on Aug 29, 2023 14:54:01 GMT 1, New front room, Easy decision to put this here! Congrats Martin that's a beautiful piece. Really love the central colours against the subdued background. Can I ask what the materials are, is it acrylic on board and did you put it behind glass? Thanks for the comments Topper. Itโs 72x72 Acrylic on MDF. It came without glass, made me a bit paranoid so I had museum glass put in front of it . The glass is brilliant as you really donโt notice itโs there.

what got you into Banksy???, by Martin M on Aug 2, 2023 15:10:04 GMT 1, I was living in London from 97 - 04 and would see his work on the walls near where I lived. Then a read a piece in Time Out about P.O.W. so looked it up and went from there. I bought a couple of signed Banksy's for ยฃ150 each. I wanted to buy more but my wife said "two is enough for now" Ha! I sold the prints to pay for my wife's 4th and final I.V.F. treatment, it was the only way we could afford it. After 3 failures, a close run thing with the 4th, we finally had some good news. My son will be 13 next week. Do I regret selling my Golf Sale and Gangsta Rat, not for a minute. Although I do wish that I would have bought a 3rd to still have on my wall. C'est la vie. What a lovely story!

BBC Interview Steph Warren (POW) about Banksy, by Martin M on Jul 20, 2023 9:33:09 GMT 1, Listened to the series last couple of days, not sure if i thought it was any good. Nothing really new said and it left a few key players out of the early days of POW and Banksy. I felt that the guy doing it had hardly any information, but managed to string out a series with it. Steph didn't really supply much info that wasn't out there already. Also, if memory serves me right, It was odd that he really thought that Girl in the Bin had been at been at Sothebys for 12 years and suggested that they didn't know it was going to be shredded, really! All the voices were pretty annoying as well. Just my humble opinion! Good luck to Steph, i remember few good nights at Stella Dore back in the day. Hastings seems to be gaining a healthy art community with Carl Freedman gallery, Counter Editions, Tracy Emin - the recent Talk Art Podcast with Emin was a good listen and good to hear Tracey launching the new art school in Hastings and investing in her home town artists. You're getting your beautiful English seaside towns mixed up, that's Margate Doh!! Quite right Terry! Oh well, the Talk Art podcast still worth a listen
