Pretty sure this is a small taste of things to come, some new and exciting work on the way from Goldie!

Looking forward also to the Dreweattes auction, should get a feel from where Goldie stands at the moment, particularly like this piece!

Pump Doll

i like the pete tong piece but not sure about the others, not my kettle of fish!

I thought it was Annabella Lwin when I first saw it.

Thanks Pud... Dont mention the war !!.. i see now, still art though surely ?, i think all the "Pump Dolls" are on alluminium panels and hand done individually but i may be wrong..... i like the swastika one. I like Goldies work.

You are entirely correct - all the 'Pump Doll' pieces are on aluminium and are hand finished. In effect they are all unique pieces.

As for 'Hindu Peace Symbol' , it would be illegal in Germany and there is not a lot we can do about that. Real shame, as it is a great piece.

That quality! ;D

Be good to see some more new prints by Goldie this summer. I think things have really picked up a bit of pace since his show last year, so he could really go large with a another good show and some prints behind him.

These might look great in the photos but they really look fookin magic in the flesh. The burn holes in the canvas just add to it.

L.E.T. look forward to meeting you in Berlin, got your kid canvas and other stuff from Ragnar recently and love em.

Also looking forward to seeing what Goldie does on Ibiza when he on the island......expect some more nice pieces popping up....

p.s Matt, check the Apocalypse Angel canvas as I just checked my camera and shee has the peace symbol on her necklace. Wouldnt want you not being able to display it last minute.

steve jones looks like a right hod carrier!

I have an original piece by Goldie I'm selling - it's a sprayed Spiewak jacket done for an auction a couple of years back. Will try post some pics but PM me if interested!

And love that Tong image!!

Nah im with fergy, Goldies stuff kinda leaves me cold. Nothing new to see and a bit stale with a smell of celler mold about it..
my tup'pence

haha or one of those refresher chews..or a drumstick...damn going to have to go down the local newsagent now!

From Skrufff e-magazine, 6th June 2008:

Goldie's Berlin Swastika Solution

British artist Goldie brushed off accusations of insensitivity for including a painting of a yellow reversed swastika in his latest collection this week, declaring 'it was originally a peace symbol and never a swastika. Do your homework!'

The multifaceted drum & bass DJ/ producer and occasional James Bond baddie was chatting to Skrufff in advance of an exhibition of his pictures at Berlin Gallery Babylon Academy on 13th - 26th June, where the swastika picture won't be on display due to German laws.

He also dismissed criticism that he'd included a swastika painting simply to be provocative ('I'm not bothered about critics' perceptions, I don't care what they think') though conceded that controversy is a central part of his creative approach.

"Art should be controversial. It's been around for thousands of years. There's more social commentary with art now than there ever was. In the last thousand years we've had f**k all, but in the previous fifty we've had everything," he said.

"There's been a lot of attention on advertising symbols and brands, twisting them to the point where they're no more than the advert; he added, "Ironic!"

Other artists involved include Brian Jones, Mantis, Ryca and former London club celeb/ performance artist Jason Atomic who on June 20 will be back in London attempting to set a world record for the most people sketched in one hour. Jason is also due to perform a practise run at the Berlin exhibition which takes place at former department store Kunsthaus Tacheles from Friday June 13.

I've never heard a more ill informed statement in my life! What a moron.
