Martin Whatson • Angel Print, by Manty on Aug 23, 2013 18:36:24 GMT 1, All I'm trying to say is he has conveniently used tagging as his 'style' lately. If this 'style' has already been adopted by so many veterens before him as you pointed out, what can he possibly bring to the table? I really hope to see him trying something new.
if it works do you break it?
I guess the artist has to decide what he wants and possibly more importantly what he needs, and what gives satisfaction.
if it were me and i could do arty stuff real good, and some style worked commercially that i could make a living out of it, I would play safe, and repeat until I was financially secure, or it stopped selling, then i would stick my fingers up and fuck off for a while
After living it up for a while in exotic places I would start enjoying myself and experiment about a bit with my arty stuff doing things that I actually enjoyed knowing my mansion was payed off, my garage full of cars could be enjoyed both on and off the track, and my coke and hookers were sorted.
But thats just me

If, by the use of the phrase "so many veterans"... you mean just Banksy...then you are correct.
Would you ask Banksy to give up his stencil style because Blek used it before him?

Martin Whatson • Angel Print, by natstan on Aug 23, 2013 18:43:39 GMT 1, Sorry, you also missed the point. Banksy's art works because its works on another level - it usually has a message to tell behind the image and that's what makes him great.
And FYI, one look and I know it's a banksy...

In answering the question, it would basically tell me whether you do or don't know as much as you think you know...that's all.
If you can tell why the need to do so... So you know what it means... but can you tell me how long he has been doing this style for? The premise of your argument was that he has been using tagging "lately"...which you then went on to confirm, in your books as well as mine, means a few weeks. In answering the question, it would basically tell me whether you do or don't know as much as you think you know...that's all. |

Yeah guys, I'm just finding an avenue to voice my opinions. I quite like his works up till the last print or two as i find them repetitive. If you guys don't like to hear what I'm saying, just ignore me, ha. No hard feelings...

But but but all being said, I still cant get wats the excitement about this print! Ok, i kick myself out of this thread forever! Ok heres my view... Its an Angel yes? with Tags all over right?, therefore its about Tagging Angels, now then Robin Williams sang a song called Im loving Angels yes?, thing is Martin wasnt loving them he was simply Tagging them see?. I hope this makes it a little clearer for you. |
