Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Dface Orgy, by stillborncrisps on May 14, 2016 12:49:53 GMT 1, I would profer that Banksy's Napalm was 'worse' than this in all the aspects you describe. How is Queen Vic less blatent? The Krah's scenes are cartoon, whereas Banksy's was photorealistic. Yes , I agree that the Kraw scenes are cartoonish. I know that "Napalm" was the use of incorporating a very famous photograph, but it was horrific, not sexual. I was talking about "Queen Vic" being suggestive of lesbianism or a more sexual nature of a print, not just the use of another artist's work( and yes I understand the political statement behind "Queen Vic"). Look, I am not against the pornographic nature of Kraw's art. I understand the place of pornography in our society. I actually like his work, I think it's funny and quite good and am in alignment with Ploppi when he says "Hazarding a guess it looks like satire or parody to me, how the big names are part of a clique in bed with each other. " My question and my post is regarding artist's rights and if they have the right to take action or a stand if they don't agree on how their art is being used, especially if it is being used for financial gain. They've all got the right to take action, but would never win as 1) it doesn't look like the Krah's trying to pass off his work as theirs, 2) it's parody, which is how Banksy got to do Dismaland without a lawsuit, and 3) each artist has themselves took other people's work without permission and used it in a way the originator likely wouldn't want the work used, and then made money from it.

Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Dface Orgy, by thekrah on May 15, 2016 18:06:49 GMT 1, I started graffiti in the streets and on the trains back in the 90's, back when it wasn't considered 'art'. A lot of things have changed since then. The evolution of graffiti is street-art: moving from just getting 'UP' in the streets using spray paint to amplifying the youth voice with any material available (paste ups, street sculptures, mosaics, paint rollers, ect...). As a subculture, its the biggest art movement ever - bigger than the impressionists, cubists or any other as every city in the world has street-art. There is a visual orgy of art in streets of London and other cities now. This series draws on that phenomena - the love and desire for more street-art, everywhere - and the key figures of the movement in a cheeky and more meaningful-than-you-think way.
The branding of artists, bombarding the streets with instantly recognisable work, is a technique of self-advertising that has learned from the logo-ridden corporate world. Street-art logos are products of a capitalistic society, and an aspect of what it takes to participate in one. Advertising is all about male's gaze and sex. This series explores these issues in a comical way, just as foodies have 'food-porn' photos, I am giving the art world 'street-art porn'. I am exploring the link between street artist iconography and advertising, I am showing it by using straight-to-the-point explicit graphics.
Parody is a backbone to bothโโ pop and street-art, people are interested in art that has recognisable imagery from everyday life that they can relate to,โ experience in new ways and relate with eachother about. Creating advertising characters, industry icons and product personalities is nothing new, it was very big in America starting from back in the 1940s - but, it's relevantly new for artists and not advertisers to do. Most of the artists in my series remix pop icons, iconic photography, cartoons, advertising and merchandising mascots in ironic ways. This series poses the artists' characters, icons and logos in a similarly ironic way. To champion copywrites is to kill-off their artwork too. Banksy stated in his book that he is against copyright rules. Artists using other artist's iconic work is not new, maybe not is such a way tho!
These works are not meant to be disrespectful towards the artists in any way, rather, I am making a general comment on the art scene today. Many of the artists I used are mates of mine or people I have met and I couldn't hold them in higher regard. In fact, funnily enough, a few of them have asked me reserve prints for them and other artists are complaining that I didnโt include them!!! I understand that because of the proposition of this work, some of the artists may be offended.โ But I hope that they will come to see the amsuing side of it. The arguments against showing naked women, however, I don't understand. How can naked women in art can be so shocking in this day and age? There are naked men here as well, it's porn - everyone is naked! Most of theโ "โwomen"โโ in this artwork are actually characters by male artists, like Pure Evil's or Kaws' character heads on a female body. And it's doing exactly what it's meant to - commenting on the male-gaze sexifying of pop culture imagery and street-art's relation to this phenomenon. Ron English painted a mickey mouse head on a sexy looking women's body. Yes, its all about sex. For the art scene - this street-art porn will hopefully 'visualify' an of-the-day fantasy of the hot street-art sceneโ todayโ.
This particular piece would also like to redress the hating going on in the street-art world, the message I want to give with this work is: Be a Lover not a Hater.

Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Dface Orgy, by Stoko on May 18, 2016 20:31:51 GMT 1, I think these are great. Good old fashioned piss taking street art. Ugly, funny and immediate. Would I have one as a print? No, ta. Though I do like a lot of Krah's other work. A good bit of fun this. I don't see it as objectifying women in any way at all; there's nothing remotely titivating about any of these.
