I'm sure you will get a decent artist looking for a chanche to do a big wall. Walls are very desirable to street art galleries who see the space as good advertising hoardings for their artists.

It's a garden wall of a garden backing on to Wandsworth roundabout. But also it may be a good thing for anyone wishing to add to their portfolio!

While you may find someone to take you up your ask, you really shouldn't expect to pay nothing for an experienced artist to pint a mural. It's a bit of an insult to the artist to ask them to work for free, especially if this mural is going to be at a business... Is it?

Artist needed, by 11 on May 30, 2016 18:36:47 GMT 1, I think the principle is one of whether the artist gets a chance to demonstrate his work to a wider audience on a public wall that will give some benefit through other paid opportunities - awareness, advertising or whatever you want to call it. If it is being enjoyed only by a select few then really, it's a commission and should be treated as such.
Artists have to earn a living too so there really needs to be something in it for them. it could be argued that they get to practice on a large wall, although if they need to practice then you can't be disappointed with what you might end up with.

Artist needed, by tatiana4957 on May 31, 2016 6:22:12 GMT 1, I meant no insult. It's just a garden wall. Only seen by traffic through my house. I heard that large wall space was desirable and may be something artists look for in order to create. One mural here could lead to more.
Anyway if I offended anyone then sorry. I am a chef so that comment about asking a chef to cook for free is heard. Was just a thought is all.

Artist needed, by Deleted on May 31, 2016 10:16:11 GMT 1, I disagree with the negative comments. There is nothing wrong with seeing if any artists are interested in painting a big wall in a private garden. In London, one of the best forms of advertising is word of mouth and urban art trending into peoples living rooms as screen prints on walls can also trend onto peoples garden walls. Sometimes artists do need to look at these type of opportunities in two ways. One way is OK, if I paint on the wall I want to be paid but there again I might not get the gig. Another way is OK i'll paint the wall, take some good photos, make some flyers and a free website and business cards and letterbox the Chelsea and Hampstead and dinner party set.
I doubt that people who say the artist should be paid and support artists etc have ever done any art themselves and I doubt they have bought any art by new artists looking for exposure who show their art on this forum either.

You're right Ploppi - I haven't painted bugger all, well not that wasn't just in magnolia......but i speak to artists all the time and have had this very discussion with them. Even a very well regarded artist was prepared to paint my wall for expenses only - it just needed to be in a prominent position with plenty of public visibility which i couldn't deliver on - he wouldn't even do it for money but there aren't that many of those types of artist.
And if you are benefiting from such a venture isn't it right that you should be prepared to pay them - why would you put them in a position where they work for nothing. As I said - if you are commissioning a piece of work then you SHOULD be happy to pay them......but slave labour is definitely wrong yeah?

I do agree that if an artist does work for free, they could be not taken seriously and artsist have to put a value on their work. Location is important. Plus if an artist works fro free they should be allowed to do something which advertises them and their style.
I think also, although it's good to expect owners of walls to pass on the artists details to their friends who admire or like the work. I wouldn't count on it and use it as an opportunity to make some art, photograph or youtube social media it plus tout for work in London or wherver from other people with walls and give it a go.
I've done art for people rich and poor, connected and unconnected in the past for the cost of materials only or for free for publicity and from experience once the art is finished do not rely on any of them to promote the art. If I do it now, I do it for fun.
Artists should promote themselves and their work as much as possible and not rely on handshakes or promises.

Artist needed, by tatiana4957 on May 31, 2016 15:27:59 GMT 1, It's all word of mouth for me. When I catered a party for free I got two more jobs from that. My friends are all fashion/film ppl so they would see it and I could say that set decoration could come from it, but it may not so I didn't feel the need to jazz it up. It's just a wall and if I could afford to commission someone I would. I simply thought it would be a two way beneficial street for anyone wanting a lot of space to create. Easier if I do it myself at this point.

Artist needed, by stillborncrisps on May 31, 2016 15:49:55 GMT 1, If you can't afford to pay, how about offering an international artist some free London accomodation in exchange for painting your wall.
Plenty of artists will be flying in for Bristol's UpFest (and the like) over the next few months, and might like a base for a few days afterwards to explore and get up in London too.

You may not have intended to open this up to debate. But this is a forum. So I think you should expect people to comment/debate. Foe what it's worth I think the idea above (international artist, free accommodation) is an interesting one.

Artist needed, by Deleted on May 31, 2016 18:28:31 GMT 1, I'd offer it to a London artist looking for an opportunity to set up a business in London, street arting or muraling urban art style peoples garden walls. I think it could work in London. At least the artist will have photos and create a talking point. Plus decorators like street style art.
Nothing wrong with networking. I'm sure if done right and promoted advertised by leaflets etc etc etc it could work quite well in London. I think also it's good to let the artist come up with ideas rather than make a copy of known urban art images.

Now to the small matter of finding someone to do whatever they wish to a big back garden wall, not visible to the street, but with payment through paints and a seriously good lunch, beer, possibly good chat and photos at the end...
