Yeah, it's a shame they don't do the right thing and refund US customers the VAT element like Jealous Gallery and White Cube do. Especially considering BORF is American! A bit of a kick in the teeth. Sorry, no idea how much the OG's were. |

The artist's bio on the Laz email is an interesting read:
"Detroit's BORF is the name to drop in urban art circles. A multi-talented artist with impeccable graffiti credentials, the 25 year-old makes philosophical and often insurrectionary work in a sensitive, realist style. His Rothko's Modern Life series of paintings combine traditional graffiti with colours inspired by the mid-20th century master's instantly recognisable multiform pieces: never has the generation gap been bridged quite so poignantly."
I would like to employ the person who wrote this to write my CV.

Like the print, shame it's a giclee though. It can't have been that difficult to screen print this. Agree. Strongly disagree. Imagine having to separate that! You would need so many colours and it would end up costing significantly more than ยฃ175! The CMYK method could be used but even then it wouldn't look as accurate as the giclee. I bet it looks sharp with the screen printed gloss. Can't wait to receive it. |
