Does this fall into a street art cliche animal / human head thing? Well there's a serving of deeper meaning for anyone who likes it. Out at PaperMonster later today in a range of colourways - because you're worth it.
If this had been used anonymously to raise awareness of animal rights it would've been fantastic...
re: last post."The only really relevant irony in modern visual artistic expression therefore can be one which has no monetary, status or ego attachment, but instead a higher moral purpose."
kinda looks like the bull is wearing an American Football helmet
I'd like this image if it was an animation and the bull nutted a bull fighter in the gonads, and there was a big splat of red on impact, would look great against the green...
reminds me of the end of 'being john malkovich' where the dude is trapped in the underwater body of a child...is he saying we are all cattle? woah...deep...im so glad i can now spend my hard earned money on this print, frame it, position it prominantly in my house and look at it everyday and think to myself 'thank god i spent all that money so i can remind myself everyday i am just trapped in a cows body'
lino cut, screenprint...its dont matter, you cant polish a turd
If there were a ratings scale from 1 to 100 of how shit something is, then in the wider art world, this print would most likely be in the lowest 5% (i.e., very shit) and not even up to the standard you'd expect from a college degree show....but if we were to restrict ourselves to only thinking about where it ranks within the 'urban art' genre then I'd say the situation would be reversed and it could probably even be considered a masterpiece.

on closer inspection I see it's a lino or a wood cut print, which gives a nice texture, and makes a change from screen prints
ReplyDeletestill don't know what the point of it is though...
American Bull Ball it's the future!

ReplyDeleteI believe it's a Matador's skeleton and his skull is deliberately where the bull's horns would be.
ReplyDeleteWith that in mind, it's still shit.
