That's usually where a lot of artist on here fail.

He might have created some iconic pieces using this technique but I'm sure he wasn't the first. Does that make Grafters Splash and countless others all NW ripoffs too? Or any pure b&w stencil a blatant rip of Blek? It's what you do with it, not the medium itself.

Personally I can tell the difference between a stencil by blek, banksy,c215 or Dolk.The way an artist cuts is like a signature. I thought that rene's print was by NW and when I realised it wasnt, I posted my thoughts here saying that imo it was cut in NW's style

I think I would have been tempted to make the colour palette as different from NWs as possible on that piece since the subject matter is buildings and aeroplanes!

Rene Gagnon
Urban Flowers
Black Book Gallery | January 2011
In an age of appropriation, the question of legitimate art making (especially in the context of urban and street art) has never been more debated. Where does original end and borrowed begin? Has it ever been possible for an artist to cultivate an original thought? Isnโt every visual reference a reflection of the artistโs exposure to the outside world?
Rene Gagnon is a good person to consult on this subject. The seasoned street and graffiti artist will be showing at Black Book Gallery for the month of January. Heavily influenced by the graffiti and abstract expressionist movements of the late seventies and early eighties, Gagnon is an appropriator. However, what distinguishes him from other well-known appropriators is that Gagnonโs work is grounded in true technique. More focused on engaging in the physical act of creating over developing original content, Gagnon says at this stage in his career, he is working to blend urban and graffiti art with contemporary abstract expressionism.
For this show, called Urban Flowers, Gagnon will be revealing a new body of work. Urban Flowers is just that, a collection of mixed-media flower images that are done through an urban filter. Appropriating from nature, the flowers represent a simple, straight-forward symbol for Gagnon to showcase his personal artistic perspective. Gagnon says, โUrban Flowers is a double entendre. Urban Flowers represents a body of work that was inspired by the connection between bold, colorful graffiti mark making and the similar patterns and vivid colors found in flowers. Urban Flowers is also a statement about the rise in popularity of the urban art scene and how it has bloomed over the last ten years.โ
