DOLK Prints "Mushroom Girl" "Balaclava" 20th Sept, by pelle on Sept 15, 2011 7:30:12 GMT 1, I struggle to see what the point of Mushroom Girl is? It's like: "Oh my god, she's picking a huge poisonous mushroom". Which she then won't be able to fit into her hopelessly underdimensioned basket. Ha, have to agree with you there although I still think it has more charm than the balaclava piece, I don't understand the message behind that whatsoever.
I agree. To be honest, I should perhaps have said that I struggle to see the point in almost any of Dolk's commercial work these days.

DOLK Prints "Mushroom Girl" "Balaclava" 20th Sept, by des77 on Sept 15, 2011 8:11:10 GMT 1, i'm thinking he's alright, actually - seems to continue to explore, express himself and have fun with it... can't wait for his next level to reveal itself... hope he keeps pushing himself... I find it hard to see any progression in content or image to his work, if anything, it's lost the edge he originally had. Almost like he's hit middle age.
Couldnt agree with this post any more

DOLK Prints "Mushroom Girl" "Balaclava" 20th Sept, by Phear Loathing on Sept 15, 2011 8:49:49 GMT 1, I feel like these actually may sell out a bit more quickly than we all think......
Seems a good amount of people have been after his work hard lately. I know when I was selling a couple Dolk's recently the interest from the folks in Norway was HUGE compared to when I tried selling them just a 8 months earlier...

DOLK Prints "Mushroom Girl" "Balaclava" 20th Sept, by alexnh123 on Sept 15, 2011 9:33:14 GMT 1, it's not street art if it's in the middle of a disused farmhouse somewhere. I don't buy the whole; do a piece outside somewhere, then back it up with some prints. Why does everyone fall for it?

alexh well its not indoors and has a road in front ? This is Dolk not a new stencil menace trying to flog a few prints.
More urban for you ??

I tend to agree with the progress comments but more in the way that Dolk is good at what he does and has found his style & niche.

Is there anything to fall for? I just buy a print if i like the image, i dont care where its been painted before. Could be on the street, or outside somewhere at some deserted location with no chance of getting caught or someones bedroom.
Saying that, i do like some artists work based purely on the image/artistic talent and then theres others where i dont think their artistic talent is as good but there subject or meaning or street placement may be the reason why i like their work.

DOLK Prints "Mushroom Girl" "Balaclava" 20th Sept, by boatyb on Sept 15, 2011 11:51:05 GMT 1, I've got two pieces by Dolk (never met the guy/gal) - Zooicide and Prison Painter - both of which are now bonafide members of the household... they say/represent something to us (that's what we look for in art)...
i got a gut feeling about Dolk, tho - he's going the distance - and i believe he has progressed (some people need visible "change" in each piece and style to reflect progress - but look a bit closer and more fully, maybe?)...
i hope he reads these comments on here and takes them constructively or ignores them... whatever works for him... keep on going, man - it's all good!
(haven't slept in a few days now - so be easy on me with any responses ;D )

That's marvelously vague... Maybe you can say a bit more about how you feel that he has progressed?
To me it seems like the only thing that has made any progress is his hype machine.

"marvelously vague" - that made me smile - i'm going to use that phrase later today on the mayor - but, true my statement was vague...
i tend to look at artists in totality - as it is often their careers - if i have been a fan of their work for a while, i find it difficult to immediately write them off or publicly ridicule them if they create a couple pieces i'm not particularly fond of... when building a career there'll be dips and ups etc. etc... imo, Dolk has been progressing his art career quite well...
often on here, the great work, success and efforts artists (e.g. banksy, micallef etc included) have produced in the past are just forgotten and thrown aside with statements like ('hype machine', 'fell off', 'sell out', 'middle-aged now' etc. etc....) don't get me wrong the banter is cool, but i just don't subscribe to it, generally... i enjoy watching them try their hand and sometimes coming out with a home run...
when i'm a fan - yep, i'm gonna hype (even when i don't own any works) - there's enough pessimism out there to offset all the hyping 
i know i know, more vagueness... if i come up with a better answer later i'll post it

DOLK Prints "Mushroom Girl" "Balaclava" 20th Sept, by daveart on Sept 15, 2011 17:22:00 GMT 1, i like dolk. I like the mushroom girl just as its a cool composition and might look ok on a wall. the other one i cant be bothered to look how to spell it.. makes no sense to me AND also i dont think i would ever hang on a wall as a cool picture.
so hey - is street/urban art the only genre that is supposed to have 'meaning' .. ie. comments like 'I dont get it ." "what does it mean" .. i don't really think monet's water lilies has a meaning but people seem to dig it all the same. I don't recall warhol trying to convey meaning with every print. maybe some did? i guess my point is. why does there have to be a point.

good point, i have mostly looked into the meaning of pieces , but i guess its prehaps the nature of most of the art has a type of message so we exspect one in all art works be it political or what ever really, But i like your thinking.

Don't be fooled, if it didn't have meaning what would be the point of making it ? why bother using a visual language and work in the visual arts if you've got nothing to say, even if that something might sometimes just be, hey here's some "eye candy", there is always intent and where there's intent there's meaning right ?. As for Monet's waterlillies not having meaning.. google.. meaning of lillies, meaning of water, meaning of impressionism, meaning of Monet's waterlillies. Hell, you may even want to buy the biography of Monet and really get stuck in. Street Art is a brilliant door opener into a world of art denied most of us since high school, not because it's "boring" or "difficult" or you need to understand theory etc.. these are all ploys to keep it out of our dirty hands.. to keep the likes of us away from the good stuff and to keep shoveling the shit. So we don't have time for art.. so we don't understand there's more than consumerism, x factor and american gladiators to life. They'd love to tell you this culture has no meaning.. that it's a dead end, eye candy, leads nowhere. Don't believe it.. it does..lets not do the job for them hey..
Cheers..

Mushroom girl is eye candy
you may arrange in a different order as desired.
Of course lilies and impressionism has meaning and eye candy appeal. but having meaning and what is the meaning may be different goals? Lilies isn't trying to grab you by neck an shov an agenda at you.

Mushroom Girl.. dark and foreboding, death of the fairytale, end of innocence. Eat that and hello a whole new world..and pretty too.
Result.
Artists really don't work up a stencil, cut it 30 foot long, travel 500 kilometers to the middle of nowhere, find a run down house in the country and spend days putting up the work if your intent was a bit of fluffy eyecandy for the internet print brigade.. a bit more credit due methinks.
As for agenda and meaning. Impressionists were radical art revolutionaries dedicated to destroying academic painting and traditions, fiercely independent. Public were hostile, art critics loathed them..they painted outdoors.. shock horror.. Street Artists of their day if you like. Absolutely had an agenda and absolutely tried to push it down peoples throats-- quite fascinating stuff. Lillies was attempting to do exactly what you say it wasn't and critics were saying it wasn't allowed.. ugly monstrous things of their day. Read up on it, it's pretty interesting stuff and puts into perspective why critics attack street art and graffiti etc.

DOLK Prints "Mushroom Girl" "Balaclava" 20th Sept, by daveart on Sept 15, 2011 22:28:47 GMT 1, martedanielsen - enjoy your passion - and please dont take it i am debating you... think more along the lines that this would be a fun conversation after three pints of something of the dark variety..
Obviously monet had message. no contest etc. but .. the direct message of impressionist art cant really be compared to current hit you over the head hand on your neck point driven urban art can it? officer down/ donuts/CWSB/, LIITA/ etc.. not much mystery there is there? now maybe 100 years ago someone questioned the rules of society looking at those lillies .. and that's fantastic. i doubt you would get 100 people in a row at MOMA to give that answer though. its subtle - requires understanding of the period, the movement, etc. but not understanding that is fine. it doesnt need meaning to everyone .. its beautiful, amazing, thought provoking, etc.
It's all fine with me. i cant buy monet. i like dolk. and i like it when an artist has an image that fits well in an office or house that doesnt try to directly (key word) shove a point at you.. i dont think it minimizes the work to say its cool / looks good/ etc eye candy, whatever. of course there is a message somewhere in there with the over sized mushroom .. but it isnt too aggressive to hang in areas where a lot of the urban art wouldnt really work. anyone with a spouse or kids understands this i should think.
cheers!

oh I agree.. aspects of it are still quite challenging, but generally now, it's pretty much entered the same space as all other art.. along with everything that we once maybe found shocking or exciting and new. Like Impressionism for example.. wasn't long before it was on greeting cards and chocolate boxes hey.

Obviously monet had message. no contest etc. but .. the direct message of impressionist art cant really be compared to current hit you over the head hand on your neck point driven urban art can it? officer down/ donuts/CWSB/, LIITA/ etc.. not much mystery there is there? now maybe 100 years ago someone questioned the rules of society looking at those lillies .. and that's fantastic. i doubt you would get 100 people in a row at MOMA to give that answer though. its subtle - requires understanding of the period, the movement, etc. but not understanding that is fine. it doesnt need meaning to everyone .. its beautiful, amazing, thought provoking, etc. It's all fine with me. i cant buy monet. i like dolk. and i like it when an artist has an image that fits well in an office or house that doesnt try to directly (key word) shove a point at you.. i dont think it minimizes the work to say its cool / looks good/ etc eye candy, whatever. of course there is a message somewhere in there with the over sized mushroom .. but it isnt too aggressive to hang in areas where a lot of the urban art wouldnt really work. anyone with a spouse or kids understands this i should think. cheers!
agree..beers and lively debates..hadn't read about Impressionism for ages.. actually reading a novel at the moment about the artist Paul Gauguin and reminded me when you mentioned Impressionists.

But as always, some likes an image, others does not.
Easy pass for me.

These two in original formats are quite nice but they loose whatever appeal that had as soon as they hit paper.
