FAILE'S LAZARIDES SHOW IS AN ABOMINATION, by estatebuyersmia on Nov 4, 2011 3:13:23 GMT 1, Faile's new work is really bad. Each painting showcases their inability to paint. Kind of reminds me of a bad Nagel on acid. The show at Lazarides will ruin their career. They should have stuck to stenciling. Kind of sad that this duo is a one trick pony.

Sadly, although I don't feel the need for two threads, I agree.

What happened, they didn't treat you with a beer when you asked or what ? ;-)

Everyone has their own tastes. I liked some, didn't like others. But I think Faile are brave and its an expansion of their body of work. There is a link between the old stenciling and the new painting. I think they are "growers"!
I go and see a lot of art... some things I love, some things I like , and others aren't for me.... but just because its not my tastes, I would never Slam the work.
Maybe you are just upset because you didn't get a book cover! ;D

FAILE'S LAZARIDES SHOW IS AN ABOMINATION, by Richard Seabrooke on Nov 4, 2011 12:17:05 GMT 1, The quality of the painting seems really bad for sure, maybe they ran out of time... Some I like, some I don't but interesting to see them pushing their style...

I couldn't agree more.
I'm all for freedom of speech and expressing your opinion, but no need for 2 negative threads. Instead, it would interesting to hear why you don't like their new work. I personally think it is sophisticated and a refreshing change from their prints, which have already been done extensively. I really liked a few of them and would much rather spend 25k on one of their paintings than a lot of other so called "art". The original book covers were also brilliant, and very affordable at ยฃ500 framed. With their more classic work showcased upstairs I thought it was a great show all in all!

I wouldn't have shown this work, it is weak at best. This show will ruin their career. There a lot of artists that cant paint and due to publicity have gained international fame. Artists in that category are Space Invader, Mr Brainwash, Faile, and Shepard Fairey Its more hype than substance !!

Agreed though, if you can't, keep your doodlings hidden!

For me it was only the continuity of the backgrounds that didn't work 100 per cent. saying that not sure if this was deliberate or not. i.e was it a nod to cut and paste and not everything fitting exactly. Certainly not all the limbs were joined up. I think people are missing a trick here.
Images were strong and fresh.

There are some in the know that say Andy Warhol could not draw at all and that he would trace his art work with copy paper and a pencil.

FAILE'S LAZARIDES SHOW IS AN ABOMINATION, by twist65 on Nov 5, 2011 19:01:59 GMT 1, Really? I've seen a small amount from his early commercial career plus some 'sketches' that were in a show near me and would never have guessed that. If true I'm not sure whether to be disappointed or totally impressed!!

FAILE'S LAZARIDES SHOW IS AN ABOMINATION, by stillborncrisps on Nov 6, 2011 2:19:15 GMT 1, That's reminded me, I went to a show of Warhol pencil sketches about 10 years ago, drawn before he was 'famous'. ISTR they were mostly semi-erotic, and for his own enjoyment. And yes, he could draw.
Back to FAILE, I went down today and I have to say, they're not as bad in the flesh. Mainly as they're about 8ft high, which really changes the view of the details vs the brushstrokes. Looking at pics on screen @ less than a tenth the size doesn't do them any favours.
Overall though, I'm still surprised they put them out. Also, upstairs is closed Saturdays so didn't get to see the stuff I really wanted to.

Not suggesting that this is anywhere near the same category, but the old saying about beauty, eyes and beholders does come to mind. Don't buy what you don't like, but no need to tell other people that they shouldn't like it.

FAILE'S LAZARIDES SHOW IS AN ABOMINATION, by Meskell on May 8, 2012 20:50:10 GMT 1, I really like the work from this show. But as with most things when people get used to a certain style, especially one they like, anything that deviates from that is usually met with distaste or mixed feelings. I was a little unsure myself upon first viewing especially due to the faceless figures but after spending the time really looking at each of the pieces they've really grown on me. I would be more than happy hanging a few of these on my walls. If prices allowed me to. And it's ironic that the OP chose this particular image because it's my favorite of the bunch.
