IS BANKSY BORING?, by brun on Jul 7, 2008 0:19:48 GMT 1, am not a huge fan of bansky , and i feel his time has gone , images have dated quickly , maybe too familiar , when all are copying him and others just jump on the bandwagon of bansky = cash. he is a victim of his own success. lying low is good and maybe he can come back with something powerful . but for me faile is where its at ! maybe they shouldnt be compared ......as for nick walker - the nikers image is one of the worst i have ever seen . for some art is throw away , for me i like it it stays on the wall , i dont buy if i dont like . but if it wasnt for banksy then i doubt i would be into faile . bansky brought the style to the masses ......

IS BANKSY BORING?, by killerkellah on Jul 7, 2008 0:42:18 GMT 1, Yes!! I've been waiting for weeks! glad I finally got the opportunity. Why were you waiting? because you know alot of people wouldnt agree with NW being in that list? Why dont you argue the point back then instead of sitting on your moral high horse? Someone made and point and I gave my opinion on it. Nothing sad about having an opinion my friend. You didn't make a point to argue against. All you basically said was that NW was a joke. What I will say is that while I can totally understand that Nick's work might not be to everyone's taste, I really don't think anyone has a leg to stand on when it comes to denying his talent. For example; I really cannot stand Cristiano Ronaldo, but it would be stupid of me to say he is crap.
I never said NW was a joke. I said I thought it was laughable that someone would put him above Banksy, even if it was talking about execution.
If NW is Ronaldo then Banksy must be Maradona?

But why is Faile where it's at? No justification?

IS BANKSY BORING?, by angryboy on Jul 7, 2008 9:44:58 GMT 1, I've never been a fan of Banksy's work on paper really. Have always loved the street pieces but for me the majority don't transfer to print well, there's exceptions obviously but I find the message more than the image is the thing with his work and so they don't work on the wall at home. Toxic Mary is one of the exceptions, as is Laugh Now.
With his style being pretty simplistic and the message seemingly so obvious in most his work I think it's going to be hard for him to stay fresh and original (non-boring if you want) forever. Most artists have to reinvent themselves many times over their careers and so it will be interesting to see what happens when (if?) Banksy does. For me recent work hasn't excited me as much as older pieces, not that I haven't loved some of his more recent work too but for the most part they haven't had the impact his earlier pieces did, that could just be familiarity though.

IS BANKSY BORING?, by fergy on Jul 7, 2008 11:56:17 GMT 1, I don't think Banksy is boring - the initial reaction to his street work was quite the opposite. However there's lot of clones just churning out that straight forward stencil look and that is what's becoming boring in my opinion. It's like anything, you get good and bad.
Banksy has done so much for the British art scene it's just unbelievable. He's brought lots of artists together and it's created a whole scene. In addition to this there's charity stuff happening too. It's very exciting time, however people need to be original and innovative to keep that excitement going.

IS BANKSY BORING?, by Gentle Mental on Jul 7, 2008 12:26:05 GMT 1, I think it must be really hard for him to release stuff quickly, as expectations are so bloody high now.....
he hardly has any room to make mistakes.... which is sad.
give the man some space!
(perhaps, that's why he's putting out work via ms bugs...... I AM JOKING! Settle down people...)
not.

I think the reason for this is because the overlying message in all of his work tends to be the same. And you're right familiarity is the problem. So whereas they used to excite you (just as anything exciting and new should) their connected redundancy has diminished the newer pieces' impact on many a viewer.
