New Work, by mcnuts on Aug 14, 2008 11:07:32 GMT 1, So, I'm confused here, was it pure coincidence that gillstef posted about a new artist for feedback and then it magically became available at Opus? Or gillstef had you noticed this new artist on Opus and wanted a reaction and then Opus mentioned the work was for sale? No finger pointing on my part just trying to work out the cycle of events.

Gilsteph - for the avoidance of doubt please can you say whether you have any interest - whether formal or informal - in Opus Underground and if so what that interest is.

New Work, by gilsteph on Aug 14, 2008 11:19:15 GMT 1, Hi Pezlow, do you mean - do I work for OPUS or am Ant or some function of either?
Well its easy. I got an email from OPUS with this work (as I thinks everal people on this forum did) and I kinda of liked it. I googled her name and found out she was an student at Northumbria Uni (if you go to Saachi you can see more of her work)
It wasnt for me but there was something about her art I liked so I thought I would ask the world what they thought.
No dark secret or manipulation going on. i would be flattered if someone bought something I showed as a "what do you think" question but the reality is Im sure people can make their own mind up.
Oh and Im not Hush either but I do like his work
And if anyone doubts this then please buy me a drink I dont work for or have any interest in OPUS.
Though I do think PaulyPaul doenst like OPUS very much which is fair enough.

You'll appreciate that a dose of healthy cynicism is required when a new artist is posted on these boards particularly given the past history with Hush etc. So I checked your posting history and noted an awful lot of posts in Opus underground threads or about opus underground artists.
But if you say that you have no interest in opus underground then I accept that.

what did happen with Hush I can't remember and it is a recurring theme on the forum

New Work, by gilsteph on Aug 14, 2008 11:50:24 GMT 1, Actually Im darth Vader ;D
Im the ugly one on the right.....when it was still sunny
No pobs asking Pez. Am happy for anyone to look through my history. Im a fan of HUSH so got to know Ant well. This means I do get an occasional preview of things.
No secret and lets be fair, I didnt exactly say that this was the best thing i had ever seen and i even said it wasnt quite my thing in the thread....and I think Ant gave me a telling off as well in the thread!
But I also go on about any gallery/artist I like. Frankie is a star. MisterFramerman is brill, Carmichael can be cool and there are others I have mentioned.
So I guess I should keep these kinda of things to myself

It's nice to see some new work, especially something with a bit of a different style, (Just a shame they are on plywood). would it really matter whether gilsteph had worked for or was connected in some way to opus, in my opinion it doesnt matters, not one bit, Thanks for the heads-up gilsteph, keep em coming

New Work, by Danny O'Connor on Aug 15, 2008 14:03:30 GMT 1, I agree with the general opinion that it doesn't matter who brings artists to are attention. The only thing that gets me is when an artist posts on the forum pretending to be a fan saying something like "Have you seen this guys work it's totally amazing" in an attempt to drum up interest. (very cringe-worthy)
