YZ from the Amazones series
This is incredibly powerful. A wonderful piece of art. Can you share a little about the artist and her method? The artist name is YZ, she is a French with senegalese origin artist who has been active for about 10 years now. She is using china ink either on silk or antemoro paper (traditional paper made in Madagascar). Usually, the silk paper is pasted on wood or metal, antemoro paper is used for works on paper only. She is using only black color, adding more or less water to create grey tones more or less dark. All her works are done this way. Regarding these recent works, amazons, here is the description made for the exhibition: "In 2014, French artist YZ has moved her studio from Paris to Senegal. This relocation has been the opportunity for the artist to get into a very personal quest into her own heritage as she partly descends from slaves ancestors sent to the West Indies. From this search alongside an in-depth interest she has developed for West African history, YZ has been naturally drawn into the fascinating world of amazons - these 19th century female warriors originally coming from the West African Country of Dahomey โ a former French colony. In this new set of works, the artist is paying tribute to these extraordinary women who have shaped the face of Africa forever. Symbols of courage, these African amazons embed the values of modern femininity: strength, independence, and beauty" Her previous set, Women from another century was also very interesting and she produced some amazing works in this set. You can find more information on French art studio or Magda Danysz website.

invader kits, to open or to not open?, by sakyamuni on Dec 22, 2015 10:14:50 GMT 1, i have two and I opened both. I do it carefully, keep the bag and mail from the spaceshop just in case... They look great on the wall, and you can't really appreciate them if you keep them hidden inside the bag. They need to breath On a more "financial" point of view, I see more and more kits nicely framed for sale, or with the mention "carefully opened" and prices are much higher than cost so there's no need to worry... To me, there is nothing better than opening my door when I come back at night and all I see is the green light of the "glow in the dark" kit right in front of me...

Cleon Peterson - Batman v Superman, by sakyamuni on Dec 18, 2015 13:30:56 GMT 1, Bought both prints. This is a guilty pleasure, I am not sure i'll put them on a wall one day but I do like them and as usual for him, I find that they work better as a pair with different colours. I have stopped thinking about what I will do with what I buy a long time ago and I am fine with it And no, they won't be for sale in the future, I keep them for my viewing pleasure

What's your favourite street piece of 2015, by sakyamuni on Dec 17, 2015 19:33:30 GMT 1, It is located in Spain, in Llanera, in Asturias region. This is an old church that was used as a skate park and Okuda decided to paint it. He did a crowdfunding campaign to develop the project a few months back. all the usual street art websites mention it (streetartnews, arrested motion, etc...)

New Banksy - Calais, by sakyamuni on Dec 17, 2015 14:48:20 GMT 1, So what is preventing them all from registering or seeking asylum in France? answers on a postcard. In France there is no right of appeal Not true. The Cour Nationale du Droit d'asile (CNDA) is the court of appeal for all the cases in France. The right to appeal if denied asylum is usually given everywhere, not only in France or UK. France allows UNHCR to have a representative during the hearings (an associate judge appointed by UNHCR) in this court, UK does not. I know this pretty well as I was one of them a few years back...
They don't want to seek asylum in France because they want to live in England, where they thik it will be easier to find a job and where, very often, they have relatives living/working there, it is as simple as that. Same reason why they don't apply in every country they travelled through during their journey. This is not a legal issue, but a personal choice. However, no one can deny the fact that they are there and it has to be addressed...

New Banksy - Calais, by sakyamuni on Dec 17, 2015 13:22:39 GMT 1, Don't want to enter in a specific case, but just a little clarification...
first regarding aylum: The international refugee instruments governing refugee law lay out criteria for the recognition of refugees. They also establish criteria by which individuals may be excluded from international protection. The term "exclusion clauses" refers to legal provisions designed to achieve this effect. Article 1F of the 1951 Convention includes a number of exclusion clauses:1
"The provisions of this Convention shall not apply to any person with respect to whom there are serious reasons for considering that:
(a) he has committed a crime against peace, a war crime, or a crime against humanity, as defined in the international instruments drawn up to make provision in respect of such crimes;
(b) he has committed a serious non-political crime outside the country of refuge prior to his admission to that country as a refugee;
(c) he has been guilty of acts contrary to the purposes and principles of the United Nations."
Secondly, even if asylum is denied, that doesn't mean that the person will be deported. According to the European court of human rights, "where substantial grounds can be shown for believing that an individual, if expelled, faces a real risk of being subjected to torture or to inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment in the receiving country, then the responsibility of the sending state will be engaged on the grounds that if it were to expel the individual, the exposure of the individual to proscribed ill-treatment would be a direct consequence of its action".
You may disagree with these provisions but as of today, this is how it works in Europe, UK included (as UK signed the 1951 refugee convention and the European HR convention)...

And hopefully one very nice piece by someone like Swoon, Doze Green, Futura or someone else...
And of course I remain opened for other options

Digard Auctions โข Invader Exclusive Auctions โข PARIS ๐ซ๐ท , by sakyamuni on Dec 15, 2015 13:25:50 GMT 1, as usual, some strange results. Many still available from source...I don't really get the point of such online sales with a 27% tax on top... I don't know what happened to the Homeworks, this is one of the few prints I would be willing to buy after release... Next time, maybe

Etam Cru ๐ต๐ฑ Sainer & Bezt โข Street Art โข Print Release , by sakyamuni on Dec 12, 2015 13:38:41 GMT 1, Interesting show but I am a bit disappointed. My favorites are First love by Betz and Books & Cigarettes by Sainer (although Henryk Nowak is great too..). I guess as the paintings are quite large they look much better in the flesh compared to a little picture on a screen. Would love to see some pictures later Drawings are nice but I prefer the paintings as colors are an important part of their work for me.
