YZ Solo Show at the Magda Gallery - Summer 2015, by sakyamuni on Nov 18, 2015 10:57:25 GMT 1, She is not using stencil. Everything is hand painted with china ink on kraft paper (sometimes adding collage to it) and then (for street work) pasted outside on walls. She has been working in the street for more than ten years now on different projects, the most famous being Open your eyes, Women from another century and the recent Amazone. She is using the lavis painting technique (she uses 8 grey tones). It is similar to Ernest Pignon-Ernest work, who also uses this method of pasting large works on paper using lavis method. I guess it is a French thing as Levalet is also in this category, using china ink on kraft paper. I love them all, and happy to own works by two of the three and hopefully one from the third very soon

Finok at galeria Patricia Armocida, by sakyamuni on Nov 9, 2015 14:51:54 GMT 1, In the past 10 years Raphael Sagarra, aka โFinokโ, has established himself as one of the most prolific names on the streets of Sรฃo Paulo, the megalopolis which has been the epicenter of South American graffiti culture since the 90s. His works expand on elements from Brazilian folk culture, weaving them with his own personal vision.
Finok places the subjects of his canvases into visually striking contexts, creating patterns with wood, often layering different planes, punctuating the surface. The geometric patterns and textures are reminiscent of Pipas and Baloes, traditional folk handiwork made by overlapping pieces of colored paper.
Pipas are handmade fighter kites whose strings are coated with glue and glass shards in order to cut down opponentsโ kites. Behind what seems like an innocent game actually lurks a violent nature which turns into a battle for survival. For the artist, it represents a way of preparing for the perils that come with adult life.
The creative force and desire to go beyond oneโs limits through style and dexterousness can also be found in Baloes, paper balloons propelled by fire. Rival clans spend months building gigantic balloons in order to show off their superiority to their community and beyond. This activity, now illegal as it causes feuds and fires, masks a poetic aspect: enormous effort put into something so fleeting, waiting for a balloon to fly for a mere 10 minutes before it disappears into the sky. This tradition has religious origins from colonial times and celebrates saints whose feast days are in June.
A universe of beliefs and devotional customs, present in Brazilian religious syncretism, is expressed through the religious masks and shrines that often recur in Finokโs works.

Miaz Brothers ๐ฎ๐น Portrait Painters โข Roberto & Renato Miaz, by sakyamuni on Nov 4, 2015 14:21:20 GMT 1, I know my wife would hate these and it would be a battle getting them up on the wall, that said what does she know they look great. same for me, she was not impressed when we saw canvas so I doubt prints will be more successful. Good luck for all the future owners, I am already jealous

Curious why no one seems to collect, care or talk about KAN., by sakyamuni on Nov 1, 2015 14:59:32 GMT 1, regarding KAN, i wouldn't say that he is ignored. He has frequent exhibitions in France and he is involved in many projects. As usual, we should remember that artists can be successful without any notice in this forum, especially if they are not from uk/us. Ron english print is not sold out neither but i am sure he is not especially worried about his future carreer because of that... Same for Sowat, his print is still available but he is selling canvas for thousands and selected for the Villa medicis residence this year...

Has this place changed? , by sakyamuni on Oct 29, 2015 23:04:23 GMT 1, Hello. I was suggesting that flippers should take their wares to eBay. But that is just very much my own opinion. For many years flipping has been frowned upon here. It's rather rubbing it in the faces of those that missed out. I subscribe to that view and think it would be a shame if flipping became an accepted practise on here. I am well aware that others don't share that view. Got it. ย I would add that most of the forum doesn't share that view and if someone can sell at > cost they will want to maximize gain. ย Whether its on eBay or the forums.
I think you're wrong. I would say that the vast majority of active members are against using the forum for profit. I also share this view, if you're looking for quick money, use ebay.
