I mean he's done a load of paintings (and thats only the ones mentioned on this thread) on top of doing that huge EXCITING piece on the street (in the freezing cold too).
I bet his studio is full of elves cutting stencils and shaking spraycans..

NEW EINE ON STELLA, by errrr on Apr 13, 2008 18:08:26 GMT 1, i reckong goffy's got a fair point about eine. His lettering is cool and there's no doubt that he's a very accomplished printer and is good at picking a great font but i just can't see that there's much depth to his work. Personally i think the best thing he's done if that artomatic / ilikeprinting Grand National piece from way back that had prince charles and other imagery on it as well as some of his font work . I reckon this lead to a way better and more interesting image if you ask me and i'd wish he'd do more of that sort of stuff but seems like he's slightly stuck in a typography rut in terms of style these days and the main progressions seems to be what word or alphabet he chooses, which of a couple of fonts he wants and the size of the piece.
No disrespect to any avid eine fans out there who'll no doubt have an equally valid but different opinion

NEW EINE ON STELLA, by seidbereit on Apr 13, 2008 19:57:09 GMT 1, Thanks for at least putting a considered opinion on the forum, errrr, some quite valid points there but also some which I feel Ben may be in the process of answering all by himself... and on this note, I would only urge anyone in Paris to go to the show advertised on Stella's home page and have a look at the Eine piece in that show. I've seen some pics of it before it was sent and it is (IMO) a pretty big departure from the style to his mainly letter / word based scary/monsters/vandals canvases to date (where the word/text was very much in the foreground) - and very different/new colour schemes too. I think there are some pretty exciting new works to come from Ben now that (if it's true) that he's freed himself from other commitments. That is all I shall say.

I have many accomplished pieces in my collection and I can honestly say that Ben's piece is up there with the best of them. I cannot explain why and maybe thats the very reason it is.

Ha, Ha. xaagghhxdamnxprick you are so funny. Maybe the 'arsehole could be worn by anyone who wets themselves over a painted letter. Go out into the streets there are loads of them, above shops and everywhere! And seidbereit I am glad you liked my quality contribution, it's great when you can pin something down with just a few quality words.

Are you really that stupid that You cannot see how un-interesting and bland it is. So he writes his name in fancy ways and you act like he has just created The Venus de Milo. Moron.

In the same way that you have made it clear that you don't like damien hirst. Can't you just accept that people like different things and move on. I think Eine is great and I see a lot of artistic merit in his work. The use of words and language is something that really appeals to me.
It's fine to say you don't like something but to call someone stupid and a moron for liking something that you don't like is out of order.

It is none of those. I just people would be realistic when they talk about some of the work on here. O.K. It's nice and it looks good on your wall, fair enough. I have no problem with that. And as for calling the guy a moron, that was tit for tat. He called me an arsehole and I'm not going to let anyone get away with insulting me without saying something back.
And as for Damien Hirst, don't get me started.

An A' How was I insulting people with that? The insults came at me first, so butt out. And as far as looking for things I don't like, I don't, you just put them in front of me. And if people continue to cream their pants over something mediocre then I shall have my say. And if I am insulted I will insult back. Clear.
