Not disagreeing that color wouldn't be nice but I think the brass medium gives these a "tongue and cheek importance". Sort of like a brass statue of Mickey Mouse or something. I think this type of humor is the point in most of RAE's work.

And here's what he (or someone with access to his account) posted a few hours ago below a picture of a one of his street sculptures that appears to have been torn down...
"What do you do when a former childhood friend becomes so overwhelmed with jealousy that he makes it his life's work to go around painting over and pulling down your work from the streets for over 3 years? You finally call his chicken ass out. BAST is the kind of guy who will key your car rather than step to your face. He walks around NYC with a paint roller on a long pole going over work he's too chicken s**t to climb and get to. And not just mine. No less he doesn't leave his name so he can continue to hide behind his fake persona --But I know the REAL truth. Words to live by--- "Always remember others may hate you, but those who hate you don't win unless you hate them, and then you destroy yourself." - Nixon #streetart #graffiti #bast #b**ch"
A sad turn of events as I count both among my favorite artists.

I saw a comment Dain made on his Flickr awhile back on a piece Bast when over. . When I inquired I was told Bast didn't want anyone he knew doing street art. All three were graffiti guys together growing up so this go way back I guess.

I don't really know what Rae's work was like prior to him opening the Brooklynite gallery and BAST's show there?
Rae has always seemed like a cool guy, but it could appear that Rae has taken a leaf outta BAST's book?
Perhaps another reason why you don't see too many BAST shows... he doesn't trust too many people/galleries now! Hmmmm

So much so that Bast cut him off. If they all grew up together it only makes sense there are going to be certain similarities in their work. I've heard Bast's MO is to paint over other artists work often and some are applauding the fact that RAE spoke up.

Interesting points. I always thought Rae's art started after he began brooklynite? Or atleast started seeing it on the forms such as this one. Whichever's the case, I'm not sure. I definitely see similarities in the two's styles especially with the found parts sculptures made from found objects around brooklyn. So if Rae's been influenced by Bast (who did a quite awesome show at brooklynite in 08), and Rae's also represented Dain (who's stuff looks like Bast), could Bast feel as though his work is getting MBW'd by style borrowers that want a piece of his market? I mean I always believe that great art is stolen art but Bast has a style no one can fully copy (not A.CE, Dain, etc) so I don't see why he's not on board or at least accepting of Rae's recent recognition in the street art community. Just draws more attention to their collective work?
Oh and I hope maybe Bast will release some prints again through his website as a result of this incident. Maybe it'll light some awesome fire under his collage building genius.

RAE BK ๐บ๐ธ Brooklyn New York Street Artist, by Street Art Fan on Aug 6, 2013 14:11:26 GMT 1, Although it's dismaying to see this kind of thing happen, I suppose the truth is that this kind of behavior between artists is pretty common - not just in urban art but in other genres as well.
In The Lost Battle: Leonardo, Michaelangelo and the Artistic Duel That Defined the Renaissance, Jonathan Jones describes the rivalry that transpired when Leonardo and Michaelangelo were commissioned to paint dueling frescos in the same building.
In an interview on Amazon, he has this to say:
"Competition was set in the genes, so to speak, of western art by the great rivals of the Renaissance. At the birth of modernism a century ago, Picasso and Matisse constantly checked what the other was doing and tried to outdo it. Their relationship was quite similar to that of Leonardo and MichelangeloโPicasso and his friends threw darts at a painting by Matisse of his daughter that Matisse had given Picasso as a gift.
Artistic competition is very much alive today. To speak from my own patch, British art revolves around the Turner Prize that pitches artists like Damien Hirst and Anish Kapoor against one another. This controversial prize may not have spawned any new Leonardos but it has given British art a lot of ambition. I was a judge of the Turner Prize while I worked on The Lost Battles. I found it fascinating to compare the competitive spirit in different times and places."
