'But David Cameron sure made him look like the greatest something'
Yes definitely the greatest something
Dr Funky was intrigued to read a review stating how this show is a nod to the hype and the praise, a telling wink 'ha ha yes SURE I'm the greatest and here's a canvas to tell you all so'. Somehow at least in Dr Funky's eyes this falls so flat it could be a pancake run over by a horde of baying print aficionado's who have just been told Eine is releasing a print and for 50p and it will be worth 75p in the next 10 minutes on Ebay, so rush to make your money and defend his honour!' Really this whole show is sarcastic? Really? So a range of words from Brightest to Sharpest, point to a knowing nod about his rise to fame? If anything it points to his fans not being the sharpest or brightest.
But seriously take a look at recent work what it says more than anything is, here's an array of superlatives and that is it. Like 99% of Eine's work there is no meaning, just words and usually just one, unless placed somewhere which works with that the word they mean nothing. If Eine really wants to show what the last couple years means, I've some words for him - vacuous, tory fuckwit, legal street art, wine is good, bills paid and fucking handbags for fucking fucks sake.
Is it some form of irony?
ReplyDeleteThat would suggest Eine is clever enough to be ironic, and that intelligence doesn't seem to come through in his work in general
It seems like a lot of the work has sold. I would imagine this is more because people with money enjoy having big signs in their house saying STAR or BETTER or whatever, enjoy having their egos massaged on a daily basis, rather than them knowing what is good art. Or having any taste what-so-ever. It seems to often be the case that the more money someone has, the less taste they have (unless the money has been in the family for generations)
So maybe Eine has simply had a course in marketing from his old boss, and has decided that if those stupid Americans will buy Mr Brainwash, then he might as well take them for as much as possible.
I would be ashamed to be Eine though, and present typographic paintings that, from a typographic perspective, aren't as strong as the logo of the gallery the work is being shown in!
Street Art isn't dead, it's just missing something. Much like Eine's alphabets.

MAGNIFICENT! GREATEST! FASCINATING! STAR!
ReplyDeleteGIVEMEYOURMONEY! THANKS! MUPPETS! XXXXXX!
I think the Eine show looked fantastic. There were some great looking pieces, who gives a fuck weather there is a deeper meaning to their artwork?
ReplyDeleteprobably only a cunt who thinks he's much smarter than he is and who yearns for some purpose in his worthless life.
Tossers
Thanks Ben!
ReplyDeleteWhere is my commission you supposed to be making of HEARTHEDRUMMERGETWICKED!
Why do twats refer to artists by their first names.
ReplyDeleteIt's Eine, unless he is your best fucking mate.
Then it would be odd wanking over your best mate.
Eine looks like a fucking paedo. If I saw him anywhere near a school playground I'd run the cunt over.
ReplyDeletea beneine paedo at that
ReplyDeleteI heard he masturbates to pictures of Prince Charles in tight white riding breeches.
ReplyDeleteOn an unrelated note...is it true that Grafter is actually the fat one out of Chas and Dave? The rumour going around is that after the music career went tits up he became a cab driver and part time stencil artist to keep him and his 25 kids in pies and fags.
ReplyDeleteThe Missing W meaning (sorry for those who don't like meaning) - composition and because it's the biggest letter, nothing more nothing less. Does that make it better for anyone? No, me neither.
ReplyDeleteAs for the larger subject of meaning - we'd still be living in caves looking at letters scrawled on the walls if people didn't strive to find meaning in life. Apologies if this made anyone have to think, it may have been my intention.
The people who lived in caves didn't scrawl letters on the walls, because they didn't have an alphabet. They drew pictures instead, most of them far better than the shit being scrawled on walls nowadays.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I can confirm that Grafter used to be in Chas and Dave. The cunt still wears an Albert Steptoe dirty old man style vest with gravy stains all down the front.
ReplyDeleteSo little laird Brandalflog and his ilk are getting excited at the exact same motivational art fonts Weine's been cranking out for the last 4 years?
ReplyDeleteAll he needs is to add a rainbow, desert road or tree clinging to a rock outcrop and he'll have fulfilled his DESTINY "Destiny is a matter of choice not a matter of chance"*. *Or who you know.
Chas and Dave's musical career has never gone tits up
ReplyDeletethey've been constantly playing gigs and releasing records for nearly 40 years - even longer than Eine has been painting badly on walls
sadly, they will make a farewell tour this year
and on an even sadder note, Eine won't

ReplyDeleteLets keep kids out of this, shall we....
ReplyDeleteOtherwise I might have to start paying a few visits.....
Some of you are not as "Anonymous" as you might think.
G
Haha, fuck off Grafter you fat untalented pikey mug. Keep kids out of it? You're the one always making shitty photoshop stencils of your 25 kids! Maybe you haven't heard, but the world is overpopulated enough, without chavs like you breeding out of control.
ReplyDeleteThe only visits you should be thinking about making are to the vasectomy clinic and weightwatchers.
If you saw Eine near a school playground, it would probably be because he was picking his kids up from school, so probably best not to run him down!
ReplyDeleteYou British people are always talking about everyone being "kiddie fiddlers" - it makes the rest of us in Europe wonder if you're all at it.
You know about the theory that men who beat up homosexuals are closet homosexuals, and that they get the physical closeness they crave through violence as they're too scared to admit they really want to suck cock? I'm wondering if all you gents screaming "peado" are secretly thinking about young boys in the showers after a game of rugby!
Oh ok then...so everybody is secretly the opposite of what they say they are. People who pretend to support gay rights are secretly homophobic. Anti-racists hate minority groups, while all racists actually love everybody regardless of ethnic origin, and so on. This could get confusing.
ReplyDeleteA boring old discredited theory that's used only by the intellectually slow and lazy to try to insult people by comparing them to what they despise, but has no basis in reality.
Do try to think of something original.
'You British people'
ReplyDeleteExpresso beans just woke up.. retarded as per normal
The person from the 'rest of Europe' who commented above sounds suspiciously like they're desperately trying to cover-up or deflect their own sick desire for children by blaming others.
ReplyDelete"so everybody is secretly the opposite of what they say they are"
ReplyDeleteyes, and that's why Eine is saying he's the greatest!!!
"desperately trying to cover-up or deflect their own sick desire for children by blaming others"
yes, just like the person who called Eine a peado!!!
Shut it you knob. Get back to running your European paedo ring.
