Anyone else getting bored by urban art?, by RoboJ on May 23, 2016 11:43:18 GMT 1, The one thing that bugs me is regenerated images. How many times have I seen the Monroe picture, the exact same one churned out with some different photoshop element. The original is amazing because it was a concept well ahead of its time but the clones...
The only other thing is prints. Other than getting a specific Banksy I'd like (because the ogs are well out of reach) they sort of feel soul less. I did one Giclee print run of my Liberty Too Far and it felt terrible, effortless and meaningless so I won't be doing them again. I love creating and just seeing what happens. I know many of my pieces may not interest people at all. There have been a lots of concepts I tried, looked back on and though what the hell was I thinking. But it's the playing with new ideas that's the fun bit. Making ogs and putting part of yourself into the work so every piece is important, even if nobody else thinks so haha

Unless I'm making the screen prints myself, on my own equipment, I feel just ordering prints from a company would be no different to ordering giclees. How do other artists feel about it?

Usually a lot of back and forth between the artist and the printer until the desired result is achieved. For complex paintings, giclees are realistically the only option for artists. I know CMYK screen printing has made great strides, but it still pales in comparison to recreating an image via giclee, and probably has similar levels of artist involvement.
My preference is definitely for hand made prints, executed by the artist themselves, but these examples are few and far between.

We were hanging a few pics up at the weekend, and we have a couple of hush originals, my wife was claning the glass as they have been gathering dust for 3 years and shouted at me f**king hell, how did coffee stains get all over the inside the frame. All the fashion in 2007 was coffee stains

Well that would be a pretty run of the mill silkscreen in that case

Anyone else getting bored by urban art?, by avec art on May 24, 2016 0:21:10 GMT 1, In my print house I work with artists to create screen printed editions. It's not as simple as just ordering something and it gets done. Some places might be like that, but I'll work with the artists for what we all feel is the best possible outcome, with the time and resources available.

Same, spend a week in our studio working with an artist day and night and anyone will see it's not just "click and print"

We like what we like, we like nostalgia, nothing wrong with that but it is the responsibility of 'new' people as well as 'old' to keep things moving, evolving by supporting the lesser known.

I think some of the Artists in the scene from before it was even called Urban Art have sort of lost touch with many of their fans, and I feel would benefit greatly by coming online and talking to people more about what they are doing.

But it's not just urban art: will be a shakeout in all genres. "Six Different Artists Made These Paintings." Love the title.... www.vulture.com/2014/06/why-new-abstract-paintings-look-the-same/slideshow/

Anyone else getting bored by urban art?, by vernaxley on Jun 5, 2016 22:52:27 GMT 1, Urban Art is the most exciting art movement in decades. The number of great urban artists who are not discussed on UAA is astounding. It's the choice of what is debated/pushed/bought and sold on here that has become increasingly wearisome. Can you give some examples of great urban artists not discussed here, please?
If you have to ask a question like that, then you are part of the problem.

The number of great urban artists who are not discussed on UAA is astounding. It's the choice of what is debated/pushed/bought and sold on here that has become increasingly wearisome. And the flip side of this thought is that quite a few artists discussed on UAA are definitely not urban artists. Other than that maybe the artists live in cities and have galleries in cities. Tremendous stuff coming out of a variety of Mexican locations. Mexico City and Oaxaca to name just two. Let's have a look at what you've got then - this Forum would be a much better place for seeing it. There's more to this scene than another Eine/ Stik/Chevrier/c**tstrasen/. No disrespect intended of course.

I beg your pardon? You said that there were great artists not discussed here. I merely asked who you were referring to. I may know them, or I may not. I was genuinely interested to know.

I do not understand why you have decided to take exception to my post. I have not professed to know more than others, and am more than happy to discover new artists. So when you said that there are many great artists not discussed here it genuinely interested me, hence my question. My interest in art extends beyond urban art. I have attempted to share new artists in the artists you might not know thread.

Anyone else getting bored by urban art?, by daveart on Jun 6, 2016 20:22:34 GMT 1, here are 10 conversation starters if you want to move on from Urban Art and jump back to say the previous few generation of artists that would be well worth your time to collect. And while these artists just may be worth your time and money i personally cant see getting up and checking a chat board full of commentary on these artists. and that is really what this is .. entertaining and sometimes informational conversation about what is going on in the world of art around us day to day. So, for those of your so bored you have to move on .. i have prepared for you some lead in conversations as you move up in your collecting from mere urban artists that are boring you to these scintillating leaders of pop and previous art movements. I have carefully selected artists that have work availalble in the sub $20,000 range so you can ditch your Banksy and trade for one of these artists that will thrill and engage you in many future conversations.
1. "Urban ar was so boring I moved on to collecting Ellsworth Kelly pieces and now i am unquestionably losing sleep on whether a red triangle or a blue rectangle should be my next purchase."
2. "Who else thinks Donald Sultan should just more on from Poppies already and start on some other damn flower. and wait .. would that make the poppies more valuable ?"
3. "Can someone tell me which way this Miro Print goes on the wall .. is it blue squiggle up.. or red line down? damn.. i dropeed 15k on this and cant tell how to prop it up on my vanity"
4. "Estate signed Picasso pieces - a steal or a deal ? - those unsigned Banksy prints did so well for me .. "
5. "Regarding Warhol - i have unique opinions that no one in the whole world has thought before. Kind of like the urban art forum and all my interesting insights on Mr Brainwash pieces a few years on.."
6. "I sold my car and two unique DFace test prints to by a $25,000 Alex Katz print and just realized there are like 30 years worth of prints that look just like it .. what should i do now ?"
7. "your help needed on this... Would you save all your money for 55 years to buy one decent original Hirst the day before you die?"
8. "How much will Robert Indiana pieces jump in price when he passes.. which he surely must.. soon.. right ? this is really a good speculation idea because it could be like ages before Shep dies. i cant wait that long to turn a profit."
9. "Help ! - I really want to like this Rauschenberg print .. so, will someone tell me why i should like it so i dont feel like a fool plunking down 15,000 on this piece. It makes me almost miss the days of arguing over the giant mushroom Dolk used."
10. "Stella VS Lewitt - i cant Fing tell them apart after 2 glasses of cheap wine. someone help me get what the F is going on here.. Starting to wish i hadnt bad mouthed all those up and coming stencil artists for being so similar and re using images .. but i'm not going back now.. well, at least until i get a new screen name setup."

9. "Help ! - I really want to like this Rauschenberg print .. so, will someone tell me why i should like it so i dont feel like a fool plunking down 15,000 on this piece. It makes me almost miss the days of arguing over the giant mushroom Dolk used."
10. "Stella VS Lewitt - i cant Fing tell them apart after 2 glasses of cheap wine. someone help me get what the F is going on here.. Starting to wish i hadnt bad mouthed all those up and coming stencil artists for being so similar and re using images .. but i'm not going back now.. well, at least until i get a new screen name setup."

Anyone else getting bored by urban art?, by dwight on Jan 10, 2019 4:27:32 GMT 1, Same here...next time Banksy chooses to do a show or stunt, the interest will be as fervent as it ever was. Banksy is too expensive for me (in the sense that I now prefer to buy unique canvases or objects for $10k+ money) Bast, Faile, and Paul Insect are still very cool to me and get me excited, but I'm only buying top quality unique or almost unique. I'm out on print releases. I started buying Dave Kinsey prints for $50 and now all are worthless, but that's ok. The love of art and collecting that grew from those experiences has left me with an evolved collection and collecting strategy. I'll always treasure my Banksy, Bast, Faile prints, but now I buy higher quality unique canvases and objects with less frequency. Current favorites (not really urban art): Daniel Turner, Jeff Zilm, John Houck, Ryan McLaughlin, Ryan Mrozowski, Jonas Wood, Daniel Arsham Given Jonas Wood's meteoric rise on this forum (after the release of his iconic "vote" print), I was curious to see when he was first mentioned on this forum. A search later, I discovered it was me in 2016 (you're welcome). A few of the other artists I mentioned have done pretty well too... Daniel Turner has become very well known with shows all over the globe and could easily sign with a major if he chose to, Jeff Zilm is now with Simon Lee, and Ryan Mrozowski did a show at Simon Lee and there is a wait list to buy his orange paintings. Ryan McLaughlin is still highly underrated and scarce.

I do think that users are more sensitive than they used to be in regards to distinguishing between authentic content and hype.
