Should you buy Eine's work, by Deleted on Oct 3, 2018 19:05:53 GMT 1, I was reflecting on a previous thread focused on this artist's episode of violence against his girlfriend during an exhibit at the Serpentine Gallery. He was charged and pleaded guilty of punching her in the mouth in the summer of 2018. Ben Eine has/had a large following, including on this site, but what make of his message now?
So much in street art (and art more generally) hinges on the context in which art is created and the emotional charge it carries. And this is art from someone who beat up a woman.
