Muted cries of pleasure from underneath Dan Dare quilts the world over for the latest Josh Keyes mini show. The images that have started appearing sure are pleasurable, if you're into some more of those cubed locations, geography book images plus some magical creatures, communing with nature in the way only some heavy handed artist trying to make a point can.
Hyper realism + incongruous juxtaposition = corny and boring.

ReplyDeleteUnsuprisingly for something that looks like a diorama in a regional forest's visitor centre they come across as sterile, lifeless, and destined to gather dust and fade from both the physical world and the memory of the viewer.

Even if he suceeded it would have still looked naff like all the rest of these stuffy scenes set in aspic that appeal to Hornby enthusiasts, jigsaw buffs, lab technicians and historical recreationists.

ReplyDeletewhy is he part of the "street art" scene? is it because he sometimes includes parts of streets?

Ellis G (yeah, who?) over on Vandalog talking about "being respectful" while seeming happy to rip off ZEVS by drawing around the shadows of objects in the street (work ZEVS did at least a decade ago, and which has appeared in a slew of books)
ReplyDeleteexcept Mr. G doesn't have the balls of ZEVS and uses chalk, rather than paint
blahblahblah
showing your ignorance again youngster, Ellis has been a NYC writer for the best part of 2 decades. Which is about 18 years longer than you've been interested in "street art".
ReplyDeleteUgh Zevs... The biggest piss stain in the urinal that is street art.
ReplyDeletejosh keyes = total hyped crap being bought by 2 or 3 people to drive the market up
ReplyDeleteits worthless toot which people will all start to realise soon
you cant sell his prints for toffee
no meaning to his work at all. shite references to banksy and atg and neckface
