Has anyone got Banksys phone number or address so i can pay him a visit to give him a blow job. I will do anything to be part of his gang, i can even give a happy ending if a blow job is to far.
I like some of Ethos' work. This however I feel is poorly composed (mainly the broken off arm's position) and most of the character is ugly and poorly formed apart from the head.
Also painting something big doesn't make it automatically clever or powerful. This adopting of grand scales makes for grand art seems to be a common opinion in street art. I'd rather see a small piece (preferably done illegally) done well and fitted to it's environment.
Most artists can do some sort of "successful" job given the funds, materials and time to paint on these type of large walls which are very forgiving in painting technique due to their size where most of them would really struggle to do it small scale in a illegal situation without resorting to stencils or posters.
They'd probably say they do it in b&w as it makes the image more iconic.
What it really boils down to is that most street artists have no concept of colour theory (look at Eine and he was at one time a graffiti writer though he never learnt how to compose colours in his work) and anything that complicates the process must be avoided at all costs. Most can't cope with multi-colour palettes or some of those that can are too lazy as they want to get in and out as quick as possible on these large legal walls (even though they have ample time and resources available) so they can move onto the next wall in the chain to promote which ever show they're in town to promote.
the one thing I really like about graffiti is some of the fucked-up colour combinations people come up with some times. I couldn't come up with that madness in a million years. ok, so I probably could given a million years (monkeys, typewriters, the bible) but you get my point - I'm supporting what the Anon above said. does the extra adrenalin of working illegally somehow effect someone's sense of colour?
don't have anything much to say about this art work. would have imagined the balloons would have made the hand fly higher, but maybe as the hand detached the weight of it pulled them down, and now they're just lifting off again? who knows. but I wouldn't mind a bit more colour too. we're always moaning about our grey cities, and then people always paint black and white (I know I too am guilty of this sin!)
well, dessert is ready so time to get off the internet. laters

P.S Minus points given for including the street art cliches of birds, balloons and hearts.
ReplyDeletecan I add the question "Why no colour?"
ReplyDeleteit's getting a little tiring this black and white shit. Blu does it, Eric Il Cane does it, Roa does it, every single stencil artist does it
let's have some colour please people!!!
can I also add that I find this piece quite ugly, glad it's not in front of my house
