Grafter is a top bloke, by puppyjuppy on Jan 15, 2009 22:47:29 GMT 1, this is one of my favourite pieces - i actually found it when i was going back to my car after the pow open day in december
i really like the way that it works on the wood and the fact that you can see the wood around the edges aswell
i would have to say that along with splash, this is probably one of his best

Do you only like artist that offer a clear message in their work?

Some of my favourite pieces are just that: a pretty picture!

Grafter is a top bloke, by Pistol on Jan 16, 2009 20:26:32 GMT 1, The only work by Grafter I have is the 'Forgotten more than most' which I still think is a great meaningful image. Correct me if I'm wrong bit I think it was his first release. An edition of 20? Can't remember off the top of my head. Each of my girls also have a small hardboard hand painted splash which they both love!

Grafter is a top bloke, by Heavyconsumer on Jan 16, 2009 20:47:06 GMT 1, I believe Make a Wish was the first release. Not 100% sure though. Forgotten more than most, was the first image I saw of his (in the street, on a junction box thingy), and I loved it.
I was quick to jump on Make a wish when it was offered here. I loved the aspect that half the cash went to a very special charity (not to mention such a suitable one for the actual image) and moreover, I strongly disagree with anyone who levels this claim of meaningless against ALL of Grafter's work. There are different types of art, which evoke different types of responses and an intellectually provocative message is just one of many ways to touch an audience, but by no means the only way or the "best" way, it's simply a question of preference. Personally I do also love art for purely aesthetic reasons at times, however a piece like Make a wish, clearly evokes an emotional response if you allow it to. So, meaningless? I don't see it as such. It's not the very finest example of execution, but it's certainly no worse than many of the Banksy street pieces I've seen and each "print" is hand made, not screened. As Eskimo Child clearly demonstrates, when the goal is superior execution, Grafter is more than capable. I can't find any reason why anyone could take a strong disliking to the man's work, when it's been produced and offered in the humblest of manners, but to each his own of course. Personally, I'm a fan of his work. Enjoy it or don't, whatever! Peace!

And either 2 or 3 of the triptych have sold too.
If anyone wants one, you can find them here:-
www.urbanangel.com/department/grafter/
And we should be having a special Remi/Rough - Grafter colab canvas very soon:)
