Using this as a litmus test for buying art will almost certainly leave you with a bunch of stuff that a vocal minority loves, but the passive majority does not. But if you love it and never ever plan on selling it, I suppose that doesn't matter.

Sorry I think you misunderstand, Art should be about what one likes NOT to follow the majority, all art has a meaning and it will mean less to others sometimes and more to others another time. Hence the controversy aspect, art should make people talk otherwise it would be boring. I think your last sentence speaks volumes - shouldn't we all be buying because we like it otherwise your just a flipper!? |

I don't understand the argument that we should all bury ours heads in the sand and pretend that art has no value besides the happiness it brings to its owner.
Yes, you should buy what you like. But I don't think that should be the only reason you buy a piece. Not unless you've got a mountain of disposable income. And I don't. So once I decide I like a piece, I consider whether or not I'd be able to sell that piece later if I needed to. It's not even about making a profit, just not losing all your cash. It's not being a flipper, it's being fiscally responsible.

If one likes it enough to be framed and on the wall, that should be enough.
Cheers then!

My first proper gig was around the same time, 1979 The Damned, saw them again the following year and loads of times since, and they're still touring! Had a pair of tartan bondage troos and also a nice pair of leopard skins, wish I'd kept them to show the kids. I also threw out my studded bikers jacket with Siouxsie, circa Join Hands, stencilled on the back - should have kept it and had it framed. |

Likewise re the leopard skins and leather jacket. Being more into early 80's punk scene I had a stencilled Subhumans skull adorning the leather! |

Dismayland NORDJeff Gillette (US) Solo Exhibition Nuart GalleryExhibition dates: September 8th - October 1st At, Salvรฅgergata 10, 4006 Stavanger Opening hours: Tuesday - Saturday (10-16) sales@nuartgallery.no-o0o- We are delighted to welcome US-based painter Jeff Gillette to Stavanger for his first Scandinavian solo exhibition.
A Fine Art Masters graduate from California State University, Jeff Gillette has been making collages featuring accoutrements of Disney culture for over two decades. Recently, he was brought to the worldโs attention through his participation in Banksyโs 2015 Bemusement Park spectacular, Dismaland, even being credited as an inspiration for the show in some quarters.
Despite the seriousness of his observations, Gillette sees ironic and amusing juxtapositions that occur when Disney, corporate logos, and pop icons from consumer culture show up as building blocks of shanty settlement construction.
His works reflect these ironies as well as add a playful dimension to art historical relationships: the addition of pop cultural references serving to sharpen the satirical stance of the message in his work, where everything is otherwise entropic and terrifying. Nuart Gallery

Artist Statement
I travel to the most wretched places on earth for inspiration for my art: to third-world slums. From as recently as the spring of 2012 when I had a guide take me through the tiny, dark alleyways of Dharavi in Mumbai, India, all the way back to the late 1980โs when as a Peace Corps volunteer in Nepal, I visited all of Indiaโs large cities and their megaslums.
Besides India, Iโve ventured into favelas, barrios, bastis and shantytowns, experiencing urban blight in North Africa, Southeast Asia, Central and South America, Mexico and Bangladesh. Aside from the seething humanity, the suffering, the unfairness and cruelty of the slum is a strange beauty. The cacophony of filthy debris rising from oceans of garbage comprises an architecture of depravation and necessity.
What emerges is a living environment of aesthetic wonder, spectacular visuals of space, color, form, and texture. These images, I re-create in the all too-realism of my โslumscapeโ artwork, in drawings, paintings, sculptures and installations.

DISMAYLAND.....
We are proud to release a very special and limited edition of prints by Jeff Gillette.
Last year Jeff and his wife Laurie traveled abroad to work on a Banksy art exhibition titled Dismaland ... the form of a subversive theme park in the UK coastal town of Weston-super-mare. Not only did it draw sellout crowds but it was estimated to have generated an extra ยฃ20m for the local economy. Jeff's work was one of the main inspirations behind the slum-Disneyland aesthetic tone of the park.
The special Dismayland print that we are releasing is a nod to the show in Europe as well as nod to Orange County and Jeff's first use of his Dismayland title in 2010 at Copro Gallery to describe his expansive series of paintings and assemblages. The print is in an edition of only 30 and only released to collectors of Artists Republic Gallery.
