Most overrated and underrated artists?, by balibob on Jun 8, 2012 14:22:39 GMT 1, Was going to add my two pennys worth, but it just comes down to who you like and who you don't.
Will just bang on about Prefab though, a hell of a lot of good quality art for not a lot of money.

Doesn't just about all art discussions come down to taste? I think it is interesting that there are some artists that inspire great love and hate at the same time. Hirst is a good example. Am curious who the controversial names are here.

Hold on: Maybe it's because they don't want to dedicate the time or sell out to a gallery to get the admiration or status they deserve. Maybe they are lazy, maybe there is no market. I could go on but it's all hypothetical, an artists worth is personal to the viewer it's just if you chose to believe the hype! ;D

Most overrated and underrated artists?, by geoffw on Jun 8, 2012 14:51:02 GMT 1, Of course it's all down to personal taste but hey it's a bit of fun:
Overrated
Dolk - rather than this all being edited out i'll just leave it as: LOL
Roa - i'd rather look at Victorian veterinary text illustrations
KAWS - loved his early stuff but the 'factory' style production of the deconstructed Spongebob era produced by interns leaves me cold
Retna - I may regret this if he suddenly changes tack but the last 2 years worth of work have been the same thing on repeat only sometimes using red or blue.
Underrated
Sickboy - guy has evolved into something quite special and can't wait to see where he goes next
Augustine Kofie - the master of that style
Nychos - so much style and can control
Mode2 - I think this is due to the subject matter but his ability to capture movement is stunning
Lister - He gets praised sure, but in the 'cannon' or urban art he ends up being ignored which baffles me.

He has some serious voodoo can control. I don't think anyone else can paint like him!

Most overrated and underrated artists?, by MGK1 on Jun 8, 2012 15:32:01 GMT 1, i do really like malarky but it is hard to argue that he is'nt commercial or trying his hardest to hit it big time with his art featured on the addidas advert and the only places he paints are legal wall and sutters in areas of london over-run with hipsters ie bricklane and, increasingly, Hackney.
i think he is underrated in terms of how few people buy his work

Most overrated and underrated artists?, by brooksie82 on Jun 8, 2012 16:07:36 GMT 1, What constitutes as over or under rated, the amount they charge per canvas? Their exposure in magazinges? is this relative to the amount of street work they create? I don't really understand how this should be measured!!!
People saying that Swoon is under rated? She sells hundreds of thousands of dollars of art and shows in the biggest galleries in the world, how is that under rated?
Mode 2 and Lister under rated as well?
I'm lost.
D*Face under rated? wtf?
Mau Mau Over rated? Really, not someone who paints non stop on the streets, and prices his work fairly?

Todd James- Even though he has a big following i think his work may take some time to set in with most. Rae, harrington , Lush , Harring, Miss Van , Yes i know they are all well known established artists but i still think there work is underated.

I am prepared to be shot down in flames.
