Nick Walker "La Corancan" Print Release, by simonf on Oct 8, 2010 18:02:03 GMT 1, Nacional wrote :"it is offensive to millions (if you are of that religious persuasion),"
surely that is a good thing?
Offending religious zealots is always an important and admirable function of art in my book.
Although there does seem to be a developing narative of people being offended by humour expressed in art and cartoons... if they are offended by drawings then they should quite simply grow up.
Of course if you do think it is important for women to be covered from head to toe in black cloth in the middle of a scortching desert .. that is completely up to you... (sadly thought possibly not actually up to the women.. references available for that) in which case I hope you are deeply offended... it might do you some good.
giving offence is not a good reason to censor art, i think most people would agree on that... apart from the religious extreemist of course.

Fingers well crossed for that one yes.

Get yourself on the list if it is?

Nick Walker "La Corancan" Print Release, by geoffw on Oct 15, 2010 13:41:17 GMT 1, The only way it would work would be if it didn't exist, ever... Utter drivel that adds yet more evidence, if any more was needed, that NW has had but 1 good idea, TMA. Even the dull, deadly dull vandal was crap.... Milk TMA, NW, there are thousands of cities that you can add drips of paint on.... How is this good fun Silky...it is offensive to millions (if you are of that religious persuasion), stupid, dull and unimaginative to the rest....if this is your idea of fun, answers on a postcard please......
I don't think you know the context of the image then. It was painted on the street in Paris. The capital city of a country that has banned burkhas...so he's mixed that idea with a famous Parisian image and create what you see.
IMO it's slightly clumsy in its execution and worked only in it's original placement and not as a print. But offensive to millions? If you're referring to Muslim's i'd suggest the only drivel on here is coming from you. The French court decision was the act that was offensive, dull and stupid. This is just poorly executed art.
