Love Lucy

I'm gonna get down there today for a look

Gutted about this - love Lucy's work, and was in London last weekend. Nipped down Laz and it was closed preparing for this. Pah! Only get into London every blue moon since kids...

Bump for 5 and a half hours left...

yeah sure, no idea of the price...but I cant see a problem with that

hello there everybody, i'll post it right as it is on the festival blog www.famefestival.it

while three critically "egoed" artists pulled out from the festival saying that they were "busy" i've had the pleasure to host for the third year in a roll the sweetest Lucy Mclauchlan ever





she did three walls, this huge one was in a weird spot, the road was bloked off and we had to fuck with fences all the time to get in





luckily, everybody in the neighbourhood was super kind and into the painting so that nobody called the police, they were offering us drinks and food all the time and they all helped us a lot. once she finished this one, we decided to go for this smaller and totally illegal one



she painted it in just two days and again, all the people in the district were really happy and friendly, they would come down with cold drinks and chat to us, commenting this or that piece and showing great partcipation







i guess i can say that people in Grottaglie are finally realizing what this all is about, we're just doing beautiful paintings around, there are still dickheads who would bother us but we're definitely going in the right direction here. that makes me happy

a huge thank you to lucy for being so cool all the time and to claudia and her family for helping us and offering us so much support at the big wall.

now, to go back on the artists pulling out topic, it'd be nice for everybody to finally realize that there is no point being jealous at artists, it just looks like they are more free then we all are but that's a massive lie!
few of them are, few others could be, but for my personal experience, most of them are as work-slaves as we all are.
the best thing in being an artist is that you're doing what you like to do all the time, but sometimes you have a boss as everybody else, your gallerists, the art market, they'll drive you crazy if you're not able to walk back and think. you can even get as far as seeing yourself as your own boss and wow, that's the point where you should start hating yourself

to get to a point, i'd say that the only way artists are more free then the rest of the world is through this weird common idea that an artist is an artist and as an artist he/she can be crazier then the rest of us, which translate in: i'm an artist, i can do what i want, i will fuck with you all.
yeah right, fuck it!

her best work at fame so far imo

Lucy's work is always top-notch, but last years is extremely hard to beat in my opinion.

Love it!

This piece was on paper from the Fifty24 SF show right? Imo the pieces from that show (which I think this came from) were all priced very fairly, demonstrated by their almost all selling very quickly. As I say, just my opinion, but fwiw I'd think somewhere around the original price would still be the right ballpark. Perhaps a touch less, depending on whether you could find interested parties. At a rough guess somewhere between £400 - £550. I hope that sounds about right.

I picked up one of the others on paper from the same show and I guess if I wanted rid, I'd be hoping to get back what I'd paid for it (although not the crazy postage and insurance costs to Brazil).

Very nice replacement for the mirror. Congrats Knox.
