Gonzalo Borondo πͺπ¦ Spanish Glass Artist β’ Street Art, by Deleted on Feb 3, 2015 4:36:59 GMT 1, Lotta good stuff for under 5k, but I also wouldn't know how to handle a huge glass piece in my apartment.
Wanna get one of those originals on wood that keep randomly popping up in the forum; these prices weren't too bad so that might be possible for under 5k.

Gonzalo Borondo πͺπ¦ Spanish Glass Artist β’ Street Art, by dueuomo on Feb 3, 2015 5:00:01 GMT 1, Just paid for my original and my small etching.
If I keep looking at the preview I might end up buying something else :-)

Gonzalo Borondo πͺπ¦ Spanish Glass Artist β’ Street Art, by nrgball on Feb 3, 2015 5:01:53 GMT 1, Let me start by saying that I think Borondo is incredibly talented. And I love his street work.
I think this show was poorly put together. There is too much work available. It's going to crush the after market IMHO, which is just fine. But in the long run, this will be problematic.
For the amount of work, there is an underwhelming amount of pieces that got me excited. I really wanted to want something but the body of work fell very flat to me.
In the end, I which he made fewer works and spent more time conceptualizing the show. It seems like 4 different exhibitions shoved under one roof. Each piece could have been executed much stronger than it was.
I see too much Vhils and Guy Denning and a bunch of other artists in Borondo's work. Besides the work on Haystacks, I haven't seen much originality. It seems very derivative. Please don't get me wrong, I think Borondo is incredibly talented and can execute at a very high level. I just see more potential than was shown with this exhibition.
(Let the onslaught begin)

(Let the onslaught begin) I agree and think this is an example how some works just do not translate well from large walls or well placed outdoor works to canvas or smaller works for sale. As I was going through the PDF I was imagining many of those works on 10+ story walls in diverse settings and then they come to life for me. A hard transition to overcome for some styles. I really do like his outside work though. |

I did like a fair amount of the work, but overall it did seem a little all over the place. 'The Sights' series in particular seemed extremely out of place. And many of the pieces, while nice, didn't seem conceptually deep (like a lot of the Entranas).

I really do like his outside work though.
Here is my view on muralists work not translating well to smaller scales and what I perceive to be a valid relationship between the studio and the urban setting. I can name you 20 other artists as nrgball mentioned that work along a similar vein. That vein being expressionistic figurative work that involves a neutral palette for fleshtones and I cant see any one of them painting more complex compositions and figures at the scale he does. Even Vhils who mainly paints portraits doesnt come close to the complexity of some of borondo murals at that scale. Not saying he is creating insane compositions at scale but he is far ahead of anyone else doing this, to me out of the 20 artists denning, etc. etc. none of them have a real relationship with the street and painting insitu and large scale. To me this is what makes him different than the other 20 artists painting in a similar vein and intrigues me to see where he will continue to take this. Conor Harrington is another artist who is able to do both but we all know Conors work in studio is superb as well as at scale. But I dont really consider Connor a good measuring stick because they have very different styles and goals as artists.
If your looking for studio originals that blow you away like a conor or say a contemporary painter like Ann gale then your going to be disappointed as his work isnt about a well rendered image or a refined original. He creates in the moment for the moment with what he has in hand. This DIY way of painting is what makes the artist authentic to me, but for those not in it for the overall concept and importance of his work then I am sure you would appreciate the other 20 artists who paint in this style but all really are the same. Being an original is better in my opinion that 1/20. You can throw a rock and find a figurative artist with tremendous skill and paintings what our generation has is a personal real relationship with the streets and this era of painters. Meaning murals, etc. etc. This is just my view and like I said I always appreciate is other peoples views when stated honestly.

Well see if the larger pieces sell as well I think the different series of work is great to see and shows the artist is working with a concept bigger than just the figure. Being all over the place might be unsettling in the PDF but if installed as separate rooms and series of work or installations grouping the different series of work together I am sure it would all tie together. The narrative is similar and he has kept true to who he is as a painter, working fast and expressionistic. 10K Sterling is still alot to pay so I can see why some of the better works remain unsold and cheaper pieces are selling fast as people might be buying in slowly and getting familiar with the work. Still congrats to him and Rom for putting it together, time will tell for all the artists in the genre so Hype or not just remain true to what you enjoy and appreciate his work is not for everyone.

Thanks and Im actually impressed with the work viewing from the PDF, I really think he stayed true to what he is and also price wise didnt go overboard. Prices pushed up a bit but in line to his contemporaries, many of the same sizes in US dollars were lower a year ago but he hadnt flooded the market till this show unleashing alot of work.

Gonzalo Borondo πͺπ¦ Spanish Glass Artist β’ Street Art, by Dungle on Feb 3, 2015 8:26:19 GMT 1, Let me start by saying that I think Borondo is incredibly talented. And I love his street work. I think this show was poorly put together. There is too much work available. It's going to crush the after market IMHO, which is just fine. But in the long run, this will be problematic. For the amount of work, there is an underwhelming amount of pieces that got me excited. I really wanted to want something but the body of work fell very flat to me. In the end, I which he made fewer works and spent more time conceptualizing the show. It seems like 4 different exhibitions shoved under one roof. Each piece could have been executed much stronger than it was. I see too much Vhils and Guy Denning and a bunch of other artists in Borondo's work. Besides the work on Haystacks, I haven't seen much originality. It seems very derivative. Please don't get me wrong, I think Borondo is incredibly talented and can execute at a very high level. I just see more potential than was shown with this exhibition. (Let the onslaught begin)
I don't see the problem with too much work unless one is buying purely for investment or profit?
I agree that on the PDF it looks a bit cluttered and disjointed, but surely we need to actually view the show installed to really appreciate the work. Works nearly always look better in the flesh, particularly when they are large scale installations.
As for originality, clearly he's drawn on other artists, buy doesn't everyone, I don't think you can hold that against him.

In the end, I which he made fewer works and spent more time conceptualizing the show. It seems like 4 different exhibitions shoved under one roof. Each piece could have been executed much stronger than it was. I see too much Vhils and Guy Denning and a bunch of other artists in Borondo's work. Besides the work on Haystacks, I haven't seen much originality. It seems very derivative. Please don't get me wrong, I think Borondo is incredibly talented and can execute at a very high level. I just see more potential than was shown with this exhibition. (Let the onslaught begin) I don't see the problem with too much work unless one is buying purely for investment or profit? I agree that on the PDF it looks a bit cluttered and disjointed, but surely we need to actually view the show installed to really appreciate the work. Works nearly always look better in the flesh, particularly when they are large scale installations. As for originality, clearly he's drawn on other artists, buy doesn't everyone, I don't think you can hold that against him.
Yes I must say I agree with most of the comments on this thread. I really really wanted to love something on the PDF but nothing grabbed me except the small portraits so I just went for one of those. I think I would have liked to see more larger portraits but that's just me.
In terms of concept yes the PDF seems a bit disjointed but as dungle says we should wait to see the show as the animal theme should all come together then.
Let me start by saying that I think Borondo is incredibly talented. And I love his street work. I think this show was poorly put together. There is too much work available.
