BEST EVER "Some Anatomies Of Melancholy" 11th Nov, by Daniel Silk on Nov 8, 2010 15:45:59 GMT 1, www.wearebestever.co.uk/
www.blackallstudios.com/
In their two year painting relationship, Bournemouth/London duo BEST | EVER have shown in group exhibitions internationally in San Francisco, Tokyo, Berlin and Porto as well as across the UK. Already hailed as โthe best aerosol photo-realists in the worldโ, their work features in the current V & A touring exhibition Street art - Contemporary prints alongside Banksy, Ben Eine and D*Face, and their micro pop show in association with 55DSL in July of this year was met with widespread acclaim.
Some Anatomies of Melancholy is Best Everโs first full solo show, and will be held at London's prestigious Blackall Studios. Featuring all new works on wall, canvas and in 3D, this special exhibition will demonstrate the duoโs exquisite mastery of both photorealism and abstraction, beautifully executed in aerosol spray paint. Some Anatomies of Melancholy sees the pair branch out into three dimensions as their unique style is explored in installation pieces, provoking thought not only through their presentation of difficult and sometimes disturbing subject matter, but raising the bar when it comes to defining the boundaries of street and fine art.

BEST EVER "Some Anatomies Of Melancholy" 11th Nov, by Nico on Nov 9, 2010 19:52:41 GMT 1, My commission from Best Ever (exclusive to this forum!), got it last June.
Now that IS talent. Some people here should definitely go see the show!
I own a beautiful Herakut but my Best Ever has got as much value in my heart. These guys should get far more recognition for their skills.
The detail is amazing, it's got emotion, beautiful blue tints and gold.

I thought the minimalist approach to the backgrounds made the actual images really come to life in quite a stark environment... Brilliant painters and some different approaches too. Loved it.

BEST EVER "Some Anatomies Of Melancholy" 11th Nov, by Hanging Around on Nov 13, 2010 15:09:53 GMT 1, i'm also underwhelmed, but i dont particularly enjoy their work
i think this show sort of highlights the problems that have been circling around street/urban art for a while now that while the big name artists from a few years ago have moved on to bigger and better things, there has not been many up and coming artists that have moved in to take their place.
there seriously seems to be a lack of ambition, quality control, patience and vision coming through the ranks, there is a lot of average artists being hyped up with big prices that damage the reputation of the movement and make it as a whole seem amateurish.

my point is that the movement needs some artists to take a chance, stop being so safe, and produce some inspiring art
