Sandra Chevrier • La cage et la dignité, by Howard Johnson on Mar 12, 2016 0:34:06 GMT 1, Btw I didnt get her work straight away. I used to see it as gimmicky, hyped... But she's a self taught artist and had some really strong shows. The development in her style over short space of time is another level. And what I enjoy most from her work is about the technique. It's artisan. In no doubt some of her images are iconic imo. Not the timed release, but a few others. I bet collectors do hang them with Warhol prints. Why not?
I would be interested in hearing your views on the longevity of her work. When I first saw her stuff at Black Apple (crazy cheap compared to her work nowadays) I thought it was really clever and poignant - i.e. the whole theme of trapped women and superheroes challenging gender norms, blah blah blah. But after years of essentially the same image over and over, I feel like the theme has been properly explored and each subsequent release kind of cheapens the whole body of work, although I must admit her execution continues to get better. I feel the same way about D*face, as his whole pop deconstruction by appropriating Lichtenstein was sort of brilliant at first, but now feels completely overdone.
I only mention this because you kind of compared her to Warhol. While Warhol certainly didn't reinvent the wheel every time he released a new body of work, each one examined a different theme or subject matter while staying aesthetically and singularly "Warhol." I personally hope that Ms. Chevrier follows suit, as I think her amazing painting technique could be put to better use the the constant re-hashing of the idea that launched her career.

Sandra Chevrier • La cage et la dignité, by Ottomatik on Mar 12, 2016 0:56:41 GMT 1, It sounds like you just googled a term you can't explain. Iconic in art means signature image. Mention Warhol and people see Marilyn and soup cans, mention Hirst and people see dots, mention Chevrier and those who are aware of her work just see the same old bulls**t regurgitated ad f**king nauseum to the benefit of Deranged's wallet. It's not my second language. I don't have to google it. Buy a dictionary. Warhol isn't mentioned under that word I guarantee it.
You don't think Warhol is iconic?

In terms of work, both have produced iconic pieces.
A difference between him and Chevrier is he's idolised. She isnt.

No idea on longevity, it's different times.
To me it's obvious she's focused on technique and method, developing that.
So she's not churning out the same thing imo, she's developing her method and skills.
And it makes sense to focus on your craft right, when your a new artist, before pushing boundaries.
I think that's a trajectory in itself, as she's already proven. She could continue that way for who knows how long.
Didn't Warhol just get people in for the production? I don't see her doing that all.
I don't know her but she seems adventurous as a personality on social media. Maybe likely to spend a few years honing her technique, then push the boundaries of pop art further...
Who knows? Hope so.

Sandra Chevrier • La cage et la dignité, by Howard Johnson on Mar 12, 2016 1:26:51 GMT 1, Warhol btw did thousands of portraits. It's what made him famous. His bread and butter. hello???
Yes Warhol's work largely consisted of portraiture, but my point was more about diversification of themes and subjects. With each new body of work Warhol explored different themes through the use of portraiture, with each body of work enduring for different reasons. The use of irony in his elevation of consumer products to high art remains one of the most poignant commentaries on the fine art industry to this day, while his portraits of endangered species sought to communication the strength and dwindling beauty of animals throughout the world in hope of helping conservation efforts. Its easy to look at his work from a macro viewpoint and say "that all looks the same" but a close examination of his career demonstrates a broad exploration of subject matter.
In contrast, Cheerier appears to be rehashing the same basic images and themes, albieit with minor deviations. Art is subjective and I certainly would never say one artist is inherently better then another, I just wonder if this sort of work turns out to be a "one trick pony." That being said, I totally agree with your assessment of her career thus far and hope that we see her amazing painting techniques applied to different themes in the future.

Sandra has a looooong way to go. It disturbs me that you would even mention the word iconic in the same sentence as Sandra.
She will never get there if she continues to paint comic book characters on the face of women.
Her work is YET to be iconic.

I was asking this same question earlier in this thread - how long a duration does an artist 'explore' a singular theme on average? I do feel whatever message that has to be brought forth has already been brought across with that many images she has done so far. It's getting a bit repetitive. And definitely commercialised (but what do we expect when she is being endorsed by an 'important' collection masterminded by a similarly commercialised artiste?)
Which brings us back to the question: shouldn't an artist be moving progressively, constantly working on generating new ideas with every new body of work? Explore the use of different subjects, techniques, materials used in creating the art etc. I do not think this applies to SC only though, as I see many artists mentioned here doing the same old thing over and over again (nick walker, martin whatson etc). To me, a true artist should be more than just creating a pretty image that sells. Or maybe I wouldn't see this kind of progression in the urban art scene.

Sandra Chevrier • La cage et la dignité, by kultur on Mar 12, 2016 8:21:10 GMT 1, Her stuff reminds me of the quick rise and subsequent fall of artists like Patrick Nagel and Dennis Mukai. Beautiful women - sometimes androgynous with their own twist. Once highly sought after and now quite laughable.
Time always tells, but to me her work already seems dated - and while she has talent she is smart to grab the cash while she can.

Her fans go way beyond the usual art buying public that`s why she is set for far more success whichever route her work takes. I dread to think what price point her next edition will be priced at if the timed edition is anything to go by.......

Anyway it's easy to compare artists at any level. Everyone collecting or following does it all the time, don't they? Reeks a bit of snobbery barryh

It wasn't meant to be... As I say I'm a huge fan of her work, I just think people get a bit carried away with themselves. 'IMO' there is a lot of iconic work in this scene (banksy rats, beejoir lv child, blek beggar) , but Sandra's work is not there yet.

actually think you may be the one getting mixed up. regardless of whether you like her or not. she could do a release at a decent price and it will sell out no problems. a timed release allows all who want one to get one and takes away from the flippers etc and its done at a lower price. so not sure what is wrong with that at all. in fact i would say thats quite cool. It does not happen enough or a lot with in demand artists in my view
good to see artists like her doing open releases. Not sure she is iconic or a warhol but good luck to her in her career. hope she continues to progress and develop. either way good luck to her and cool she is bothering to do an open edition many artists do not do that sort of thing these days . good luck to her I think you're mixing up the words "cool" and "greedy". Don't worry, happens a lot actually think you may be the one getting mixed up. regardless of whether you like her or not. she could do a release at a decent price and it will sell out no problems. a timed release allows all who want one to get one and takes away from the flippers etc and its done at a lower price. so not sure what is wrong with that at all. in fact i would say thats quite cool. It does not happen enough or a lot with in demand artists in my view |

Sandra Chevrier • La cage et la dignité, by Dungle on Mar 13, 2016 8:41:57 GMT 1, I would be interested in hearing your views on the longevity of her work. When I first saw her stuff at Black Apple (crazy cheap compared to her work nowadays) I thought it was really clever and poignant - i.e. the whole theme of trapped women and superheroes challenging gender norms, blah blah blah. But after years of essentially the same image over and over, I feel like the theme has been properly explored and each subsequent release kind of cheapens the whole body of work, although I must admit her execution continues to get better. I feel the same way about D*face, as his whole pop deconstruction by appropriating Lichtenstein was sort of brilliant at first, but now feels completely overdone. I only mention this because you kind of compared her to Warhol. While Warhol certainly didn't reinvent the wheel every time he released a new body of work, each one examined a different theme or subject matter while staying aesthetically and singularly "Warhol." I personally hope that Ms. Chevrier follows suit, as I think her amazing painting technique could be put to better use the the constant re-hashing of the idea that launched her career. My personal opinion is that when you look at individual pieces of 'pop art' hers are as strong as any of Warhols I've seen. She's fresh in that.
Priceless

Sandra Chevrier • La cage et la dignité, by soulseeker on Mar 13, 2016 20:00:12 GMT 1, My faith is a bit restored. I consider an edition of 344 a cashgrab failure 
I like the majority of Chevrier's work, but at $290 for a 72 hour giclee release, this wasn't for me. Plus, call me a stickler, but I just couldn't stop noticing that the girl in the image appeared to be missing a tooth on the right side of her mouth, which looks out of place with the overall ' pretty, pretty' imagery in this one 
My faith is a bit restored. I consider an edition of 344 a cashgrab failure Like Chevrier's work or loathe it - just shy of $100,000 dollars (based on print price and number eventually sold) doesn't sound too bad a 'Cash Grab' to me! Only time will tell if an artist who appears currently popular will make it big time and/or achieve longevity in this fickle market - so yes, maybe she's cashing in while she can - good marketing, promotional hype and associations with those who are rich and famous pay off: fact of life.

She can't really win can she? People moan that her limited editions sell out instantly but having tried to remedy that, other (the same!?) people then moan that it's just about the moolah! Maybe it's just a sad indictment of modern times that some folk seem happy to bitch about things rather than just getting on with life.
Whether you like her work or not, she's entitled to earn a living just like the rest of us...

But as a free painting artist. ie. give any artists in the scene a blank canvas and some paint brushes and some paint.. and i think she stands up very well. i really dont know anymore what artists out there are free painting.. vs computer images, hired help, assistants, etc, etc. Sandra seems very talented to me. is she riding one pony too long? who knows... that miro guy filled a whole career of squiggles. sera, katz, sultan, baechler, the list would go on... of artists that rode a theme for a good long while.. good / bad// who knows.
