Urban Art Association

like chris's stuff normally but that looks sub standard

Did ask for the pdf to see the shows pieces but have a small feeling it's sold out but fingers crossed

Anyone get a chance to stop by the show?

I stopped by, my first chance to see Moons work in the flesh, it really does appeal to me and I'd love to acquire a large scale canvas at some point. The huge canvas of pink building was cracking but I'd of liked to have seen more diversity on the day.
He appears the real deal, and clearly has a smart PR team as a few celebs knocking about etc, but time will tell on his continued success I suppose. Meantime I look forward to his next show, in NYC I believe.

It would have been nice if the people behind him would talk about his work rather than the big names buying it and one paddle8 result. He is a genuine talent I just hope his team start focussing on his art and not just the activity surrounding it.

some images from the catalogue, I love the pink building too there was a cracking little study of it which I was too slow on  =]

The show was good, the only thing for me was that the artist was not there but working on his ny show. He paints all the time but destroys the pieces that he's not happy with,so I doubt you will see sketches or edition pieces. Moon's a bit rock and roll, I think that's why people are drawn to him. Liam and ruthie who manage him and his shows do a great job. I think the ny show will be a much bigger deal to be honest as this was smaller with fewer pieces. I have two pieces now and have a feeling his prices will be out of reach soon. Th here are only 4 pieces left on the planet so if anyone needs to get in contact with them, pm me as I've got all the mail addresses.

I managed to miss any hype beforehand and didn't notice any "celebrities" at the preview. I for one, am not interested in how rock and roll Chris Moon is, but I don't discount the fact that some might be drawn to this. Nevertheless, being concerned only with the art , I thoroughly enjoyed the show, so much so that I popped back at the weekend when the gallery was quieter.

The show was smaller than the first show and the series of "Food" works which made up 2/3 of the show, may be the cause of concern about the artist's lack of diversity, but I feel that his talent was suitably demonstrated over the two shows and across the different mediums employed, namely: oil on board; oil on canvas; oil on paper and mixed media on paper. Given that this was a Pt 2 to the first show, perhaps the issue was more one of curation and what the curator/s wanted to present over the two shows. For me, thematically this show worked really well and there was nothing there (money being no object) that I wouldn't have wanted to hang. I particularly liked Palm Reflection #2 ("Pink Building") and View posted by Dibbs 45 above. The very small (17 cm x 14 cm) Study for Palms was also a cracking piece.

There was a film crew directed by Jack Bond (of Salvador Dali fame) that was filming on the night for a film about Chris Moon which I presume will tie in with his NYC show next year - so no doubt Moon will be subject to significant exposure and some serious scrutiny from the art world. I hope that he emerges unscathed and his star continues to rise .

Red dots on sold artworks has to be the biggest turn off there is.
