Banksy Welcome Mat, by kjg on May 3, 2022 11:44:54 GMT 1, Never thought that my comment would be the starting point for a real quiz on this forum, but if anyone spots another mistake in the chess board I throw in a Pejac postcard for the winner 🥳

It's a chessboard, so the numbers around the edges are at the exact spots where they should be :-)

Got this back from the framers this week. Not sure how I feel about it honestly, maybe should have gone with a natural wood colored frame. Oh well, it’s here now, and I do like it up in the wall.

Banksy Welcome Mat, by dex on May 3, 2022 18:50:32 GMT 1, Now that’s a profit rather than the cause statement if ever I’ve heard one. Sort of goes against the whole point of the art really. Here is a picture of my wall. I'll bet you'll see a lot of local/unknown artists that I support in buying their art. Anyways, thanks for letting me know that I don't get the point of art. Now I'll stay awake the whole night because of this. 
Nice KBTR.

The top right picture of what looks like a woman putting on or taking off shoes.
Is that a photo or a painting and who by?

Its a photograph by the artist Paul Blanca. He recently past away after a turbulent life with drug addiction and illness. He has made some really provocative/explicit art, but I personally like this more artistic/stylish picture.

When you posted this picture did you expect it to sporn this weirdly obsessive interrogation? We must all be seriously bored.
Having said that I do find that chess nights looking sideways makes me feel strangely uncomfortable

No, I never expected something like this. I'm a big fan of this forum, watch is multiple times a day but seldom post something. This time I just wanted to respond to masong his statement that 'I was in fort the profit and didn't get the point of art really' by sending a picture that might show otherwise.
But hey, at times it was a fun discussion. Hopefully I passed the test that I'm not in here for a quick profit or to bring negative vibes to the forum. And off course that I don’t know how to play chess 😂

I may have been wrong about the art but I was more than right about the pointless chessboard 😉

Banksy Welcome Mat, by met on May 4, 2022 14:38:26 GMT 1, pawns do actually unite, organise and resist!
the pawns are the only ones who can change their status, becoming what they want except the king, who is condemned to die anyway...
they are the ones fighting the status quo 
this is probably their most famous political manifesto
Based on a quick search, that manifesto seems to be a classic.
To my embarrassment, I never previously heard of it. Yet it looks to have the potential to disrupt and revolutionise some of my opinions.
Until now, I had dismissed pawns as willing cannon fodder, i.e. Private Beasley types, as shown in the Monkey Dust clip below. Moreover, I dismissed them with scorn (which, admittedly, is unattractive as an attitude).

A pivotal question remains, to which the manifesto will hopefully provide an answer:
When pawns unite, organise and resist, in whose interest do they do so?
If it turns out to be in their own interest — as opposed to that of some monarch — then my present world will indeed be thrown upside down.

This x 1000. The mats have so much more of a presence and back story than his prints, and they display so well. Once they’re done, imho, they’ll be well sought after.

And sorry if this is off topic as actually it has nothing to do with chess.

Hahah.
Was processing why they would want to stop.
2million pounds later, these mats, the flipping, bitching, waitlisting, could be overshadowing everything else they do.
Time to move on!
Tongue out of cheek, I’m still quite moved by this piece.
This is one of Bamlsy’s best.
