OKER / Banksy, by Pipes on Feb 24, 2018 15:11:28 GMT 1, Came across this interview about Oker.
This part was interesting - Oker got sent down (for graffiti I presume) and Banksy gifts him a print to help him financially. Sells to Lionel Gallery I would guess.
“Then I’m just sitting in my cell one day and I get a letter, and one of BANKSY’s people has rung up and said “We wanna give OKER a painting”. They actually put a cap on the price, because they didn’t want it to become crass. He gave me the painting and the name of the gallery in Amsterdam that wanted to buy it and that was that.”

Always wondered what prompted his change in style.
“You have to be able to draw in order to deconstruct. You have to get to a certain level to deconstruct. Once you get to that level you realise how loose and cool these things are; it changes you. I sound like a snob or like I think I’m better; I don’t. ”
“People would come up to me and say “urrr I like your old stuff”; it’s toy. I hate it all. I just hate it, it ain’t me. That was something I tried to do; what I do now I don’t actually try to do, I just do it. And i’ve learned that from them, it’s a whole different approach.
Minimum effort, maximum satisfaction.”
