banksy makes bristol eve press homepage.., by bristolmassive on Apr 26, 2007 21:09:46 GMT 1, damn that morons print I couldn't get my hands on Original sold for ยฃ198k
Bristol university art expert Michael Liversidge said: "I think his images will stand the test of time.
"The point about Banksy is that his images strike a chord with people.
"His work does have an aesthetic quality which captures the moment and comments very vividly and intelligently on contemporary society and its issues.
"Of course we cannot compare him artistically with artists such as Hogarth or a political commentator like James Gillray.
"But Banksy has a similar 'of the moment' quality - not being a conventional artist but one who has commented on our own times.
"He comments about the absurdity of events and attitudes as well as political issues and art sometimes, and his images are very figurative. They have the capacity to identify with the person on the street, because they are very accessible.
"But he has a wonderful sense of irony which singles him out and makes him appeal enormously to collectors as well as general viewers.
"I wish I had bought a Banksy a few years ago when his work was exhibited at The Severnshed. I suspect that he will continue to be a figure who people will talk about and who they will like because he makes them laugh but also makes them think - a powerful combination for any artist."

Daniel Silk โข The number or Boards and Threads continues to fall as we simplify the layout of the forum.
Daniel Silk โข I hear a lot of Artists complaining about Instagram in the past year, how it used to be a good tool for Artists, but it's not good anymore, is that true?
anyaart โข For Brett Kern fans, I noticed there is a spinosaurus for sale on E-Bay. It's a limited edition, one of only 60 made. This is the rarest of his dinosaurs. I am not the seller. I already have the same dino purchased in 2016. I've never seen one up for sale
Daniel Silk โข Apology โข Sorry I have been offline this past few weeks, due to a very bad Fever. I'm slowly getting better, step by step, and catching up with things here on the forum on the days I'm well enough. Thank you for your understanding.
Boy Wonder โข I read that they were more or less nicked the same day they went up. Loads of fakes exist.
milou2 โข Would love to see any photos of Banksy's first exhibition at the Severnshed in Bristol (2000). Who was there?*
jirr โข Hi all, over here in the states. Pandemic put me out of business, need to sell this asap. Please send offers thanks so much
matgab โข Steven Harrington - Gotcha first ed for sale.
1nkling โข I can't help but think that a more reasonable tier for people who just want to support the work you guys do would raise more income. Then other tiers for those that want specialist benefits.
1nkling โข As soon as I saw the heading for the email I thought 'Oh yeah, I use that place a lot. I'd happily support it'. Not at ยฃ40 a month though. I have a paid sub for a Formula 1 site I use that is very active. They have a high uptake on subs at ยฃ12 a year.
1nkling โข Pricing on the new supporters sub seems a bit poorly thought out. ยฃ40 a month to have a pinned sale thread being the only listed benefit?
Daniel Silk โข The forum now has more than half the number of Boards than it had a year ago! As we work towards simplifying the layout.
ashj52 โข Hi everyone; does anyone know where I may be able to find a George condo prism print? Any guidance on price would also be much appreciated! I contacted AA, they said they cannot disclose whether there will be any further drops this year.
