Just how big do you think JR will become? , by Gentle Mental on Oct 25, 2013 16:43:35 GMT 1, i think he's a fully grown man. any more growth at that age can be mildly abnormal.

Conor Harrington BLK/MRKT AP print for $250., by Gentle Mental on Oct 22, 2013 14:38:27 GMT 1, i love bmg! i wish i have more money i would buy loads from them.
they are not snooty. their art is great. their artists have a certain aesthetics tastes vibe thingy that's intelligent, understated and not garish...and they are lovely people to deal with!
also everything is priced reasonably. rarely do they go for the "kill" and overprice artwork like, say...laz ?...
i can't stop.... ok i should. ok i will now.

Zhao ๐ธ๐ฌ Print Release โข Show News โข Art For Sale, by Gentle Mental on Oct 19, 2013 14:11:26 GMT 1, Let's talk about this yue minjun, and what zhao's doing ("poorly" or otherwise...)
Yue's quite interesting, one of the highest paid artist in China, seriously raking it. his smile is false, forced, oppressed, or artificial, manufactured - the illusion, with bright colours and high action poses. he is unhappy. the whole visual is political. shallow optimism. almost nervous at times.
zhao flip the smile around, silkscreened and dab paint with rough strokes. it's unfamiliar. the frown feels fake. the smile is still there. but it feels quite painful and smirking at the same time... weird.
i like yue's more. but zhao's about a few million pounds cheaper. haha
i was at art stage singapore and a 10cm x 10cm canvas of a closeup face was US$200k! nuts! maybe that's why zhao's version is frowning. how could the artist be sad? he's raking it in! he's saddness is fake.
i shoud ask him. (zhao, i mean.. i have no access to yue)
BTW, zhao has an awesome ai weiwei collection, including one original - freaking unfreakin believable...unfreaking believable.

you do use the word "poor" a lot, don't you?
anyhoo, vandalism is not hard to understand. you don't have to try so hard. or be so defensive.
Vandalism is blatant, based, childish, and quite obvious most of the time, when they're good.
Take off your "poor" lens and enjoy.

vandalism.
insulting great artists, flipping things around, theft, infringing copyrights, that's the spirit in almost every piece of art on this forum, from moustachin' on a mona lisa to decaying/half skull a Warhol's Marlyn to AK-47 the statue of David, walking keith haring's dog, mocking Rothko or spoofing Liechtensteins with 8-bit tiles or crossing eyes on mickey mice.. etc etc..
flipping yue's smile is a clever elegant, way to express something (it's interpretations are many, and are up to the viewer/artist)
even hirst's spots and butterflies are nice acts of vandalism. i like hirst. the money talk was just me getting your goat. which seems to work well. and has provided me and some readers here hours of pleasure.
for that, we thank you.
(and don't worry, I am not wealthier than you...)

then i made fun of your wealth.

anyhoo... you should've retort with something like hirst is far superior and greater.. that kind of thing, no?

Yes. Johnnyh. You're right about the knock-offness of these.
It is a fakey of a fakey.
Despite all the fake smiles he's made, Yue MinJun isn't really unhappy, maybe?
A fake frown?
There is joy in there.
Fucks your mind up somewhat staring at these things. Because the smile is still there.It flickers. Ever so often.
Anyhoo I've seen them in the flesh, and they are not big, (and yes) shabby and quite precious looking.

Banksy - Better Out Than In - New York - BOTI, by Gentle Mental on Oct 5, 2013 5:30:04 GMT 1, banksy's street pieces are no longer viable unless it's created museum style, bolted down and guarded. his pieces on walls will get so quicky noticed, buffed or dismantled to be sold on auction that many of us would only get a version of it via low res instagram. if only banksy and pow were to release his prints OBEY style, cheap, mass, once a month. that'll be truly art for the people, no? he has enough work to drip feed the people for years.

a little mudslinging is always good for cardio, no?
fact is, i am as guilty as the next art monkey - we are pouring good money on marks and stencils for our little walls to please ourselves and impress other art monkeys.
while knowing full well, it is obsene and beyond comprehension to the millions who are still starving/being abused.
we should all thank our lucky star/gods/whatnot for coming out from the right vegina at the place, right time.
and try our darnest to open our eyes as wide as we can and help whenever possible.
i love you guys. including you, johnnyh, despite your immense wealth and charming smile.
peace!

Ai Weiwei Skateboard Decks, by Gentle Mental on Sept 30, 2013 18:36:54 GMT 1, i lived in china, guangzhou for over a year back in 2008-9. the beijing olympics.
i spent that year, working, living and traveling, from beijing, shanghai, sichuan, fuzhou, shengzhen and for a month, on the beautiful flat plains of inner mongolia.
i ate dog meat (i know, i know...) i saw a taxi blow up because cheap natural gas tank fuel leaked and got overheated. my friend got his face smashed over a nokia I saw a man climbed up a lampost and hung himself in the middle of the road my financial comptroller's son has high level of lead in his blood as were his classmates I was at a protest at car factory in fuzhou that the media never, ever, mentioned i shat inside a large cement box building, flooded with shit of others (long story...) i gave a lecture to a packed hall of thousands of young people at guangzhou university.
i have many, many good friends there.
and yes, there are malls, and luxury hotels and staggering wealth - but like i said, it's really just the tip of this huge iceberg.
And i don't understand why the skies have to be constantly polluted, food and water constantly contaminated, internet forever censored, the poor has to be so segregated, and progress have to be so cruel to so many, and the lucky few can be so blinded by the superficial, transient, wealth to be so arrogant to sweep everything under the carpet and pretend all is rosy, and nothing is wrong, because, out of sight, out of mind.
people like ai weiwei are a very rare and brave breed. with their talent and clout, they could've cashed in on the staggering wealth and make more than hirst & co.
but they risk everything, their lives and the lives of their loved ones, to choose not to.
Ai speaks for the 1 percent, but it's the other 1 percent, the exact opposite of the ones you meet, made you think how China is, ai speaks for the 1 percet at the very bottom, the nameless, powerless, and disposable. can you imagine who are the people at the bottom of 1.3 billion?
have you really, really seen his work? have you seen his videos? read his thoughts? learn about the things he does?
to speak ill of him and his intentions, as you did, so flippantly, is ignorant and shallow.
i wish you well and hope you will eventually look at China differently. and truly understand the people that are living with you, not serving you.
things are not that rosy. there are deep, disturbingly dark cracks beneath your marble floors.

Ai Weiwei Skateboard Decks, by Gentle Mental on Sept 30, 2013 13:34:31 GMT 1, China people's wealth are staggering???
lead in the water and food and the children's blood, the skies are permanently, lung infecting grey as factories burns non stop, making junk macdonald's happy meal toys for richer countries, mothers scrubbing toilets in creepy foreginer's house for months, barely making enough for what the expat gets in a day doing f all.
there is a price to pay for all that "starggering" wealth. there is a reason why richer nations won't do it at that price.
that's a common misconception expat get, surrounded by the 1%, thinking the few colleauges and their families represent all...Like the depth of your collection... not deep at all.

your mom would spit tea knowing how much you spent on worthless tourist tat!
ah the expat life! top of the world! so happy and carefree! Everybody loves and admire you.
ever wonder what your servants think when they find out your little butterfly there costs more than what they make a year ironing your CDG shirts and scrubbling your condo's floor?
BUT! as you've insisted, life has certainly improved for them! As before, they don't even get the chance to admire the your wonderful art collection while scrubbing.
