On Banksy's long silence, by Jeezuz Jones Snr on Apr 18, 2013 13:21:19 GMT 1, After the museum gig didn't a lot of og's which were non street places get sold to the select few? Ie. a member here was good enough to show us the punk original he purchased and one other piece I think? So yes banksy has made a killing with these select pieces and no need to produce huge print runs for us working class lot!!! Same after the movie people were lucky enough to pick up og's.. Hes living somewhere hot abroad and every so often he gets his elves in London to throw up the odd piece now and again....

On Banksy's long silence, by Fred Quimby Fan on Apr 18, 2013 17:46:55 GMT 1, That's still pretty lame by Banksy standards - the motif of the heart balloon is stronger with the girl than cuaght up in barbed wire. I think I've seen a very similar image from a 1930s German black and white movie - a balloon caught up in barbed wire...
Banksy hasn't really delivered in 2012 (except the sewing machine boy) - the Olympics stuff was terrible. 2013 he'll be keeping a low profile too I expect - busy with other stuff in the USA.

On Banksy's long silence, by tonysantos2001 on Apr 22, 2013 23:54:27 GMT 1, Lets be honest, if any of you knew exactly what was going on you would lose your $hit!
Yeah there's lots of rip off artists trying to make a name by copying the mans style and sense of humour (and failing miserably) but lets not forget that "Banksy" as he was back in the day (pre 1999) is no more! All artists get to a stage where they have a team, or dare I even say it, but "Assistants" producing work for/with an artist. It might be that they all had a falling out about money and the fact that one or more of these assistants wanted to go along, spread their wings and all that only to find their hands were tied?!
Have you all thought or at least considered the idea that he's STILL producing work under a different name and location?! Maybe has been for quite some time, years maybe 
The rabbit hole goes deeper folks!

On Banksy's long silence, by Deleted on Apr 23, 2013 1:18:29 GMT 1, Let's say that's true....
Would it be a name we would know, or is he toiling away in obscurity painting landscapes? Only going back to Banksy when he needs a cash infusion

This talk of a move to the U.S. I find interesting, he moved to a new studio space a while back (as can be seen in the photo on Banksy.co.uk) so that must be one HELL of a commute if so!

On Banksy's long silence, by Happy Shopper on Apr 23, 2013 12:54:02 GMT 1, Not gone away, not had assistants leave, not working under other names... IMO
And as for the balloon print... Just looking at it, if it's even true, I'd assume it was done for charity (charity auction type thing) not a random VIP sale... again, IMO

On Banksy's long silence, by Fred Quimby Fan on Apr 23, 2013 13:36:04 GMT 1, Have to agree with Happyshopper about the print
- I've heard the Dolk thing before about Banksy = Dolk, not making much sense methinks, different leagues of art.
- I've also heard the USA LA/NYC move thing, which I think is the truth. I think that Mr B is taking a break from his work (not sure how completely though, as he seems to have plenty of ideas regularly and he has been prolific) but it certainly seems that he has other things going on...
- Pretty sure he still gets other people to 'help' with executing his works though
Be great if someone could PM that could confirm any of this...

On Banksy's long silence, by Dr Plip on Apr 23, 2013 13:48:56 GMT 1, Wouldn't he have made a decent chunk of money from Exit Through The Gift Shop? And who knows, maybe he gets a percentage of Mr Brainwash's sales?
The funny thing is, even if he revealed himself to be Bambi, Paul Insect, Mr Brainwash, Nick Walker, Tobias Randall, etc, etc, most of us won't be happy with the reveal and still won't believe it.
It'll be like the ending of Lost. We'll all start smashing things up.

He's none of the above - just a private guy, made his money and without a manager or boss, does what he likes.

Yes, I've grown cynical through the years and not without reason.

OoOOoOOooo, looks like somebodies in a fighting kinda mood this evening!
Sir, I've only thrown my suggestions in to the ring, suggestions that, to be honest many other people on this board have probably thought!
As it stands there are people on this board that know EXACTLY what's going on, not to suggest that I'm one of them but don't you think that somebody else could of said something? Somebody with a greater knowledge or are you just interested as you're only interested in when the next print is going to drop?!
Fact is the man is at a point in his career where he can pick and choose, and, if I was a betting man I would look more at the Directing avenue for his future whilst still producing works of art! Chris Morris has done exactly the same thing, now Directing episodes of the Armando Iannuchi show "Veep" in the States.
The internet is always going to be full of armchair conspiracy theorists, tis the nature of the beast! In time it'll all come out, in a week, a month, a year maybe?! But lets not start speculating or name calling or jumping to conclusions yeah?! You think it might be that he's just enjoying having some down time with his young family after a chaotic past 10 years?! All the while still working on and developing new ideas?! That's personally what I think he's doing (YES, you can quote me on THAT!)
In the meantime there'll be plenty of no talent hacks, tracers etc etc with ideas that, in all honesty wouldn't even be worth printing as a sketch cartoon in the sun, all the while claiming that they're "The NEW Banksy" but not really understanding the point! I can think of one that's ripped him off in the past for attention that, coincidently, is part of a group show at a gallery in Ladbrook Grove right around the corner from where that NEW "Banksy" has appeared, almost to the same day of opening in fact! Maybe a lot of people would be better spent calling out these frauds on there Facebook groups.
You're welcome.

Perhaps the problem is that there are ACTUALLY a couple of Banksy insiders that frequent this forum, that like to rub it in occasionally by hinting at "Revelations" that they then NEVER reveal simply to make us aware of their insider status...

On Banksy's long silence, by naughtyshorty on Apr 24, 2013 3:57:41 GMT 1, do remember that there was a long gap between Exit and his previous stuff - for him it must be about doing bigger and better things and he is now at a point where planning something bigger and better than what he has already done is becoming harder and harder.
Im sure he still does do discreet sales for long standing trust worthy customers. i dont have a problem with that, especially when everytime he does a general release it goes bunfight crazy and no-one is ever happy regardless of what PoW do. i do miss not seeing the new art tho.
Hoping like others he does a general release again some time soon - would be nice to guy my hands on some new stuff.....

Nice print for the VIP people but knowing a few of them and how much brown nosing they have done over the years to get them. Yuck! It's not for me, and the whole while actually pretending to be a fan of Banksy and his ethos and nothing of course nothing to do with the cash money
BRB going green with envy for not being on said list

On Banksy's long silence, by Deleted on Apr 24, 2013 14:11:18 GMT 1, Can the VIP print be verified by anyone on here as I'm very cynical on the fact that some people on this forum are part of the Banksy inner circle.
Can the VIP print be verified by anyone on here as I'm very cynical on the fact that some people on this forum are part of the Banksy inner circle. This forum's been going for a long time, as well as other, more informative sites, that no longer exist. And these started before Banksy's popularity took off. It is inevitable that people with access to certain info are part of these forums. Whether they post is another matter; and because what is discussed on this forum is nowhere near the standard of that on the old ebay forum, or WallKandy, these people are not that bothered anymore because this forum represents all that this 'scene' has become. Whether that's good or bad is open to individual interpretation. |
