Who is the next big thing?, by Dice on Mar 29, 2014 14:07:05 GMT 1, Brett Amory. Recent shows at Levine and Lazarides were incredible, and prices are suddenly rising after two-three years at the same level. I am happy to own a nice painting by him as I believe I wont' afford any in a very near future...
I was very impressed by the recent Laz show. It seemed quite a breakthrough to me. Lots more colour and the guy can seriously paint. There's no hiding the talent. A bit more traditional than many mentioned on this thread and obviously not doing big walls etc but still bringing something different to the table. Large canvases at 4-5k I think are going to look cheap in years to come, they would probably have sold closer to 10k even. Whether he breaks this 100k at auction that people are talking about who knows. Still has a very bright future I think.

Who is the next big thing?, by Deleted on Mar 29, 2014 14:09:27 GMT 1, I think you're right Gard in terms of Laz loosening the grip on CH, I never think its a great thing for an artist to be solely represented by 1 gallery no matter how good a gallery they are. Conors work is a great mix of raw technical ability with creativity and personal stamp, contemporary with abstraction and fresh, which is what many are looking for now, something more unique and different. I think you're both wrong, galleries don't have a "grip" on artists. Conor's very happy, he sells 100% of what he produces at a price he sets. End of story.

Who is the next big thing?, by tigerblood on Mar 29, 2014 14:19:24 GMT 1, This thread has been a tremendous read. Particularly informative/interesting to me are the tiers of progression. I'd love for someone to weigh in as to which "tiers" the following, unrelated, artists are if anyone cares to: Neate, Missum/Miss Bugs, Invader
Cheers

I'm sure Conor is very happy, I was maybe wrongly assuming Laz was Conors sole representative and I feel his work should be seen by a wider audience, showing with 1 gallery means the work is only being viewed by the clientele of that single gallery and I feel he has the potential as an artist to be successful and admired worldwide. Maybe not in Conors case but if you believe some galleries don't have a grip on certain artists you are mistaken. The point was positive in admiration for Conors work, no negativity towards him or Laz

Who is the next big thing?, by dazarino on Mar 29, 2014 18:06:28 GMT 1, Conor Harrington, I would say yes, a great talent, but a tad out of reach for working class collectors who have just started collecting. I mean i never heard of the guy before a few of years ago and his prints were nearly £1000? to me and i know its just an opinion but i think he is now for wealthy collectors and without getting a massive following with the working class
I have to say the norwegian artists know how to market themselves perfectly, working hard on walls and releasing prints a few times a year.They have a huge following, with their signed prints being reachable even for struggling students and teenagers. One of my first prints was a dolk, 5 years ago for £175, i didn't have a massive amount of money but could just afford it. now as time has gone on and I've got more successful, i have managed to buy one of his canvases. To me thats how its done and thats how banksy has done it.

Looking at EB trapped by language original price - $175 worm in the suburban bud original price - $175
i think CH is very talented and think he will do well! Has done some cracking street work so far! Just have a look at his site!

Who is the next big thing?, by nrgball on Mar 29, 2014 19:18:36 GMT 1, I'm also very bullish on Duncan Jago. His work is stunning, IMHO.
I see Miss Bugs being another artist who will transition well into contemporary collections.
I try to visualize which artists can make the leap from street art to mainstream contemporary.
Miss Bugs Faith 47 Dal Jago Borondo Rae Bast
These are all great artists that I believe will exist for years to come.
Fwiw, if Dal can master proportions, then he will be unstoppable. It's his only weakness.

Who is the next big thing?, by Deleted on Mar 30, 2014 3:26:02 GMT 1, I really like what matt small is doing at the moment, don't know whether he could be the next big thing but definitely someone to look out for. Was speaking to a friend who explained all the people he paints are disadvantaged children who he tries to inspire through art. He sketches them then paints them and invites them to the openings of the shows to see themselves immortalised in pictures. A really nice way of doing things I think.

Who is the next big thing?, by spatia on Mar 30, 2014 4:43:54 GMT 1, Missbugs I see as an easy transition to contemporary collections as well with their resin pieces... I own 2 however they are much different than most produce and a massive presence in person. The price point is reasonable given the absolute size and content in their mixed media poly optic resin art.
Jeremy Geddes - I am not sure if you would consider him significant yet... I wish he would let go of the EB crowd and the constant prints and focus on more painting and shows. He has some serious chops when it comes to talent. OG's are still reasonable for the smaller paintings.

OG's are still reasonable for the smaller paintings. I agree with spatia, Jeremy is such an amazing talent, everyone keeps telling me the next big art superstar will be a photographer due to the amount of pics people are taking these days but this guy can almost paint a photo, I did enquire about a canvas and got back a £8000 figure, it was of a dead pigeon so not really my bag but just shows he is still very reasonable, not out of reach just yet
Only issue though with miss bugs, the new stuff is massive, inkd has a resin piece, must be 2mx1.5m, that's fine but not everyone has space for this sort of piece, maybe they are going for corperate custom right now
Dave white is my tip, originals are still at the £3000 for a 100-70cm water colour, sells tons of theses, works with major company's like Nike, designs Jordan trainers variants. A serious talent and still in his thirtys, sells his big 2m oil works for 25000.

Sorry that should read So pretty much artists that have been around for the last 8 years or so? These are the artists I have I'm my collection and I'm hoping to get a return on? Of course. Most artists needs years to develop and get to where they want to be. The artists we talk about here that has been around for 5-10 years, still need 10 more years to come to the point we're talking about.
What I agree with you on is that if you own them and think they are good they are not the next big thing.
Another artist I believe in is Bäst. I own a big painting by him, and want more. His collaboration with Marc Jacobs is getting him big attention and he's getting into the right crowd of collectors. I also think him being represented by Firestone is helping with him getting the right collectors. I think he's a refreshing artist that dares to try new things. Unfortunately there's a lot of artists that tries to copy his style of painting and that results in many people seeing him as one of the artists in crowd that does this.

funnily enough it looks from the outside like artists individuals here covet, with absolutely no knowledge of the art world. Should be a gallery along in a minute to tell us who on their roster is big surely?

Indeed. I'll stick to buying who I like rather than being told artist 'x' is going to be big and I should buy all their work as one day I'll be sitting on a goldmine

I think the problem with Sickboy is that he references to marijuana in most of his pieces and that puts a lot of people of. I think most people don't like a joint smoking heart on their wall. That said I have seen some amazing Sickboy pieces. When he's good, he's really good!

Who is the next big thing?, by Winter on Mar 30, 2014 16:14:53 GMT 1, A few mentions on this thread for Dale Marshall. There has recently been activity to get him nominated for the Turner Prize so if that happened it would massively raise his profile. Someone mentioned 10,000 people visited his show in 10 days. Not sure if that is accurate but I know it has been a massive success.
