TMA'S will Vanish., by cashman on Feb 9, 2009 2:49:44 GMT 1, There is no reason why the TMA series needs to be limited to cities. Taking other icons and using appropriately coloured paint would work perfectly well. Thinking that the TMA series is played out is wrong, it's a theme that can be used and developed for a long time yet (and I hope it will be). In that regard I keep coming back to the Kline and Warhol as the two most obvious exponents of developing a theme within a style. The question is whether Nick Walker can do this, and if he can I'll keep buying his work.
After seeing 'Giraffite' he probably has no choice

Yeah, I don't like that but then I don't like his pre-TMA stuff either. I think in the TMA series he has hit a style that works but I'm not sure that his heart isn't more in the street work. In right street setting the giraffite would work well.

Of course not. The art is in the composition and what can be bought to the image by the artist. You have only to look at the pop artists, or back to the abstract expressionists to see what can be done within an apparently limited theme. For the most part they stuck within a very tight theme and style.

i do like Nicks work but the work at the latest BRP looked at bit tired to me. I personally loved his credit crunch piece at the Big Issue show. Clever and very different. Anyway look forward to seeing his next ideas.
