I mean who cares who or what is the next big thing!
Obviously it's to gain in some way or form!
It seems like it has all been done before.

I‘d second that. excited to see how he develops after the successful shows in london and nyc.

his typewriter stuff is so cool and has a pretty long waiting list as he told me...

The #1 rule in Art is to collect what you find asthetically pleasing...don’t follow the crowds, they’re all flippers.

I do not understand the Jonas Wood hype. Typical art world bandwagonning. It’s nothing groundbreaking or thought provoking at all, maybe I’m missing something here? Mundane and rehashed a million times over...which seems to be a common thread these days/


also:in my opinion, a lot of galleries are responsible for the quick rise & fall I believe...once an artist has some wind under their proverbial wings - they jack up the prices and editions do not sell out as fast if at all. Too much too fast.

Bortusk Leer.

I discovered quite a few personal big things here....artists I like and pieces I have bought
Where they will be THE big thing is doubtful....

Bortusk Leer cracks me up....he’s great

i miss all the little monsters around London ....

I was watching a video wheer Frank Zappa talks about the music industry. He made a point about, how the music industry packages and promotes certain groups or singers and it has nothing to do with talent or originality and verything to do with marketing. Thats how I see the next big thing in art and it's usually the talentless crappists who know the right people or galleries who have most success. The hype and pushing up print sales is easily faked these days by galleries and dealers and auction house rent boys.

People buy the prints as an investment no matter how bad the art is in reality and find excuses to try to convince themselves and others it's great art.

Louis Masai is an interesting one!

 What a load of bullshit. basically you are saying that people should buy art from certain galleries purely from a financial aspect and buy whatver the galleries are selling for a high price. Basically just climb on the bullshit band wagon and arse lick ones way up to the foot of the clique who sell stuff made by talentless artists purely because they are selling the name.

 No chance.

 You are wrong also in that there are lots of talented artists creating original art whose art can increase in value and are ignored or overlooked because some t**t who owns a gallery and has rich clients decides to promote some performing monkey artist who plays the game the gallery owners way.

  This aspect of the art world and business is pure bullshit and speculation based on wealthy people propping each other up and working with the media and the auction houses too.

 I inadvertently offended someone when I flippantly said to him. That most famous 20th century artists are Jewish.

 Dunno why the guy took offence I was just stating an observation. 

 Basically the next big thing in art lmeans the next most flippable artists since Banksy manipulated the media and market and people got blinded by flipping greed and a quick profit.

  Fuck Gagosian, Fuck White cube etc. There is lots of great art out there to buy and the next big thing does not have to be about how much one can flip something for.

Banksies rat died ages ago.
