Eine - what is the appeal?, by adam on Mar 23, 2010 16:16:42 GMT 1, This is a genuine question not a troll so appreciate it if you take it in the spirit intended...

I know Eine is well-respected and collectable, and that defining the pleasure of art is personal and sometime impossible but I am genuinely baffled by the appeal of his art. I consider myself to be fairly broad-minded and open to new concepts and I am an appreciator of many of the street artists on here but I found myself wondering why someone would frame eg a large letter E on their wall. Maybe they look better in sets or combinations?

While his art is certainly not offensive to my eye (hey he creates some nice fonts that make sense for publishing etc) but can you Eine fans describe what you like about it and the message, if any, you derive from it? Just wondering what I am missing.

Thanks, and once again this is not a criticism of the artist, more of my own critical faculties. I am genuinely interested in understandnig the appeal to those who buy and collect his art.
