Martin Whatson Release - Zero Tolerance, by bigv on Mar 24, 2016 14:54:38 GMT 1, I posted the details over in the why now Martin Whatson releases thread, but the gist is:
Print: Zero Tolerance (28 colors)
Main Edition Size: 100
Main Edition Price: ยฃ275
Acrylic Edition Size: 5
Acrylic Edition Price: ยฃ800
Variants: 3 (Peace, Love, Riot) (10 colors)
Variant Edition Size: 35 of each
Variant Edition Price: ยฃ225
Acrylic Variant Size: 5 of each
Acrylic Variant Price: ยฃ800 each
It's by lottery and you have to register at info@graffitiprints.com by noon UK time on 3/26 with your name, address and print you want (you can register for all 4 but you only get one print per version per household assuming your name comes up 4 times).
I'm registered but don't feel too strongly about the image right now, but that could change in the next day or so, I'm mainly in it to be a Print Buddy and build some goodwill on the forum since I'm still new here.

Riot Cop w/ Shield. How original. I'm surprised he actually made this, and that along the way nobody he hangs with - gallery, GP, girlfriend, drinking buddy - said, "hey maybe that riot cop shield thing's been done to death, Martin".

Tougher crowd here, who can for the most part spot a lack of ideas quickly. Riot Cop w/ Shield. How original.

Martin Whatson Release - Zero Tolerance, by darkcity on Mar 26, 2016 3:35:45 GMT 1, The problem here is extreme redundancy, anyone who collects his work will have a hard time displaying this seeing as how all his work looks exactly the same...
Its not like an artist using their signature style where the factors of element and subject matter stay consistant allowing the viewer/collector etc.. To stay in tune with the artists work.
This can be argued in many cases but tbe differnece is actual talent and relevance.
Artists like cleon Peterson, phil frost, retna, just to name a few.. dont change much from piece to piece but have relevance unfortunately martins piece or pieces are just like a justin beiber song, you can tap your foot to it or you may even find your self humming the tune but youd never buy the album or attend a concert becuase it lacks substance and talent, i find the same for sandra unless the galleries allow the artists to grow and progress and stop banking on what they think will sell behind hype then we will continue seeing the same pieces over and over again.
Lastly a lottery? Is that another market ploy? Why a lottery, dont think one is needed her and i realize this may seem. Cynical or partially rude but i also know there are many whom agree.

To be fair, I really don't mind his last release the dancer. It's not serious art but it serves as great eye candy and imo, pretty well executed. As for sandra, I think she might be 'safe' as I think she does have good painting skills and one can see it has improved leaps and bounds over the past two years. But her works do run the risk of getting stale to fans if she doesn't move on from status quo quickly.

Martin Whatson Release - Zero Tolerance, by Dibbs 45 on Mar 27, 2016 20:41:44 GMT 1, Can someone explain what the image means? Riot shield with a Love Tag. Love is the aggressor? Where does Zero tolerance come into this? Love against hate and more appalling juxtapositions? Zero Tolerance is the about law enforced without discretion.. Love is the evil one that needs a riot trained officer. Remember seeing the canvass at his show and thought the same. WTF

You are making the assumption that there is a meaning to be derived here, or at least one that can be easily gleaned. This in turn raises the question as to whether art has to have meaning.
