Premature infatuation '09!, by Tiki on Nov 4, 2008 20:08:18 GMT 1, I remember the thread we had going last year which was about the artists people are going to really get into in 2008. I enjoyed it so much I'd like to know which artists people think we should be looking out for in 2009. Sorry if its a bit early but i cant contain it any longer hence the thread tittle.
So here are my guesses for '09. I think Will Barras will start to become very sought after as his work is just spectacular. Also i think Hush prices and popularity will soar. I'm also thinking SPQR is going from strength to strength and the only way is up.
What are other peoples thoughts on '09?

Premature infatuation '09!, by raiden on Nov 4, 2008 23:24:06 GMT 1, 2009 may be a weak year - as the economic woes I think will hurt the emergence of new art.
I personally see traditional stencil art running its course for mixed media street pieces - but I think Eelus will continue his accent, based on the quality of his recent work and his recent showings at auctions.
The mixed media guys I see taking off - Insect, Vhils, and David Choe. (Yes I know, all three are Laz repped)
Choe's prints need to start reflecting his canvas work, and I think it will in 2009. His Obama print was the first print I've seen that started capturing the intricacy of his mixed media canvases.
Insect is all over the place right now, but all of his directions brilliant. Once he finds a bit of focus on his work and starts making his street pieces and stunts catch up with his talent, he's going to be a force - not that he isn't already a force. You also can't discount the fact Hirst has gotten behind him.
Vhils is young. Unbelievably young. This is why his canvas work isn't selling - because there is no saying the trajectory of his career - but having Laz behind you is a good pedigree. He's a complete new entity, but was stunning at Cans, stunning at the outsiders show.
Other artists out there who will have big 09's - DFace seems to have hit a rut a bit in the last couple months, I think he'll regain his stride soon - especially with his Jonathan Levine show in '09.
If Russ Mill's acrylic Canvas pieces could start matching his print work, and if he could jump ship from Red Propeller, look for him to break big still. This may be his year, but a lot of what ifs.

Premature infatuation '09!, by Tiki on Nov 5, 2008 0:21:48 GMT 1, I like what you've said about mills raiden and i fully agree. Red propeller have draged him down so much and seriously need to re-asses what there doing. On the up side it looks like he is trying to distance himself from that with regard to his latest releases and with a bit of luck the right people will pick him up.
Im sorry to kick this home but my real bigguns for '09 have to be Will Barras who in all honesty i have only just discovered and Rourke V D. If Rourke will accept outside gallery work he will be unstoppable and it will be only a matter of time before Laz is approaching him. I also have to mention Neverwork. Not because he is a mate and is working with VivaLV but because he is getting a hell of a following and i know he is a hell of a talent and when his next piece of work comes, as long as it is as strong as some of his other stuff is. It will assure people just how fluent and talented he is.

and of course,..... SPQR - based on what we've seen in 2008 I'm confident his work will just continue getting better and better
