Fintan Switzer news!, by Coach on Mar 7, 2013 20:48:09 GMT 1, For those of us waiting for more news of Fintan Switzer, here is an update from his FB page:
"A quick update on the release.
We can confirm that there will be a total of 12 paintings for sale, including 6 large paintings (all being bigger than a square meter, and the largest being 152x122cm) and 6 slightly smaller studies (ranging between 50x60cm and 60x70cm).
10 of the paintings are now complete, with the exception that some of the larger ones will be framed this month and prior to the release – the frames are currently being imported from Indonesia and are considered by the artist to be a key part to the larger paintings.
The PDF will be sent to those on the mailing list in April, with further details on the date and time to be confirmed later this month.
Stay tuned for more information, and feel free to send a message with any questions or to request to be added to the mailing list."
I cant wait to see his new paintings, if his street work is anything to go by.

For anyone who missed the last thread about Mr Switzer's work, here are a few examples
I for one am very excited to see the pdf.

I also emailed last year but didn't get a response - he must have had quite a few emails to go through after the SAN piece?
Try sending a message to his Facebook page and you should get a response.

Fintan Switzer news!, by Phear Loathing on Apr 9, 2013 3:41:31 GMT 1, Hope we all get to see the new pieces soon. I am incredibly excited about Fintan, probably the most I have been this excited by a new artist in a long long time.
Even after seeing just his first body of public work it is clear that we are in for something special. He just oozes raw talent.

Agree with every word there phearloathing.
It can't be long now, and I too am very excited to see what Fintan has painted.
Not looked forward to seeing a body of work so much for quite a while.

" 'Guerillas in the Mist' (2012-13)
Fintan Switzer will be releasing a new body of work on Thursday 25 April 2013.
Initially inspired by the Arab Spring and later, drawing from the wider phenomenon of revolution throughout history, 'Guerillas in the Mist' consists of twelve paintings: six large pieces and six studies.
Three of the larger paintings focus on the exterior conflict, the aggression and the chaos. The remaining three dig a little deeper, exploring the interior conflicts within the uprising.
What motivates revolutionaries, what binds them and what divides them? Can these revolutionaries keep their ideals when they find themselves at the helm of a dissatisfied nation? What will they replace the torn down statues with? Will the outcome justify the bloodshed? Is a society able to absorb sudden radical change, and if not, will civil war be the result?
What role does art play in times of political and social upheaval? Is art used as a platform for awareness or does it have a more sinister role?
A lot of questions (and more to be expected), but don’t expect any answers!
A release notification will be sent to the mailing list on the afternoon of 25 April 2013 (GMT). Full instructions on how to order will be included in the email.
If you are not on the mailing list, and wish to be notified of the release, please contact us using the 'Email us' link opposite or at fintanjswitzer@gmail.com.
Thank you for your interest, and your support!"

Although, we have only seen three extracts.
Copycat slur is unwarranted imo. Maybe wait to see the whole pieces, and all of them before saying that?
Is any painter that uses a classical fine art style now inevitably a copycat? I don't think so.
And clearly it's not street art. These are works on canvas. His street art speaks for itself.
