The Islinton Wall, by silverfox on Feb 11, 2008 11:09:10 GMT 1, All I'm saying is that your composition could have been thought out better. All I'm drawn to is the farmer and the cow in this wall and this is due to you highlighting them with the colour red. You need to be careful, I feel you lose all your other images and your eye is drawn to it constantly. I can see what you were trying to do using the smaller images to guide your eye from right to left then back up to the flute player almost taking you on a journey. But you have all these great big stencils and feel you could have utilised them better for your wall piece. You could have the been subtle with how you apply your red so you are not left feeling distracted.

The Islinton Wall, by Jef Aerosol on Feb 11, 2008 12:38:13 GMT 1, Silverfox, I didn't mean this cardboard wall to be organized and thought in advance at all : it's quite random and totally improvised and I didn't try to "achieve" anything special ! I wanted it like the wall in my studio where every new stuff I do or find in mags or receive in the mailbox are pinned in a messy puzzle of lively elements. And the little pieces on cardboard hanging from the strings are meant to come and go : some have been replaced or moved, some added, some removed... Some pasteups were added to what I initially painted... It's a punk-ish wall, really... Don't see it as a "piece" ! The colour red around the cow is only there to hide some stencil mistakes ! You see : it's way simpler than what you may have thought ! Apologies ! I guess I'm an artist with a small "a" !

The Islinton Wall, by Jef Aerosol on Feb 11, 2008 12:40:59 GMT 1, and for those wondering about the auction : this auctioned wall is to be taken as a kind of game, really... This is why it's "blind" auction... And the very wall can't be taken down and re-done without being damaged, so what I'll do if some bidder wins it is that I can build up a brand new cardboard wall anywhere to the specifications of the buyer : size, selection of stencils, etc...

The Islinton Wall, by silverfox on Feb 11, 2008 14:59:31 GMT 1, Was very interesting hearing the inspiration behind the piece. Thanks for that. You mentioned that you didn't try to "achieve" anything special with the piece. For me It's all about the "special". All pieces should to be special, engaging, I want to be lost in thought and look for reason. Thats what it's all about. Congrats on the show and well done.

The Islinton Wall, by silverfox on Feb 11, 2008 15:46:11 GMT 1, Hey moonmorals. I checked the show out an left feeling like I have seen it all before. It did not feel the WOW factor. Re the sgt peppers, thought I would share my opinions with him.

The Islinton Wall, by moonmorals on Feb 11, 2008 15:57:29 GMT 1, I know what you mean about the wow factor, i wasn,t blown away by the show but did enjoy it and thought the wall worked well compared to some of the other pieces due to its grand scale in such a grand setting.

The Islinton Wall, by Jef Aerosol on Feb 12, 2008 0:11:49 GMT 1, about the "wow" thing : I see what you mean... I could have painted some sort of huge impressive piece... Well, I'm more into little ordinary emotions... when I said I didn't mean to "achieve" something particular in that wall, I meant that I hadn't intellectually conceptualized a "piece"... Of course, I aim to achieve something each time I paint... I myself feel moved and deeply involved each time I paint and if only one target : share my emotions and communicate, inside outside, here, there... some cardboards are tiny, like every little ordinary daily emotions we feel... I'd like to paint some huge pieces some day, but I fear they would be interpreted as : look at what I can do, see how big ! I'm happy with my lifesize characters, they look like you or me, no bigger, they're our brothers and sisters...
even if some of them are stars, i don't really care about that... Some people won't recognize Jimi and that's fine with me... and the "wow" thing is what I feel when Jimi is looking at me ! It isn't huge, it's deep !

The Islinton Wall, by Jef Aerosol on Feb 13, 2008 12:22:03 GMT 1, the Sid was made on canvas first (as a commission, so : sold) and this was the second time i used the stencil. You can buy this one if you want (see Blind Angle or go to the show) or i can paint another one for you either on canvas or card if you want. PM me for more info...

The Islinton Wall, by jonpud on Feb 13, 2008 14:29:55 GMT 1, Love the Sid and J-Rotten stencils ;D
I have posted these elsewhere but thought I would show them here in case missed by those who like the Sid and John pieces. These were commissions for me, I particularly like the John, the detail is amazing on a four layer stencil!
Some are saying that the show did not have the 'wow' factor, well for me it was an honest, informal and friendly event. Jef was genuinley pleased to meet and greet every person who took the time to view his workand the quality of his portrait stencils are IMO the best out there regardless of the subject matter. Jef is passionate about his work and is also a pacifist who beleives strongly in the images he creates.
I would recommend him to anyone considering a commission and I will certainly be contacting him for another piece later this year.
