There is some nice hand finishing on these

Hand finishing is always nice.

Christmas Eve has to be the worst day for a drop though.

Of course everyone in the WhatsApp group already has one.

roll 1 dice

[Cardiff]

Killer piece!

[Anthony Styles]

Huge piece. The detail is insane on these OG balls. He should have released these as prints also IMO.

[Fast Eddie]

This a level of technical talent that leaves you speechless. No matter the subject, formidable.

[Icesay]

Did he actually paint them?

[bradk]

These are insane in the flesh - beauty this one too!

[Graham H]

Great looking piece.. good luck with the sale

[kuni]

My god that’s a great piece! He’s on a different level technically.

It’s wild to me that someone could have this for the same price as a Kaws print (and I like Kaws!). I only say Kaws because he’s the first artist that came to mind with prints in this same ballpark, but for that matter really any print vs an original of this caliber.

Good luck on the sale!

[cakeboy]

He actually painted this as it was a commission and I spoke with him .

He told me it was tricky due to the size

This was the biggest he’d done at the time of painting it and talked through the challenges

[Anthony Styles]

Always the same snide comments when a beautiful Lucas piece is posted.

I'm sure Kaws spent a lot of time sculpting his wooden sculptures personally and Hirst agonised over getting all those original pieces completed by hand himself.

What does it matter if Jeff Koons had a factory create his work on his behalf or he done it himself?
Do we not now all accept that Banksy is a group machine?

He was the conceptual artist and the work produced is a vision of his creativity. Whether he painted it himself or Banksy hand pulled the screen prints he produced himself is neither here nor there.

Artists are brands, just like any other. Louis Vuitton manufactures much of it's leather wear in the USA, does that mean it is not an authentic French brand?

Bottom line for me is, it doesn't matter a diddly shit where it's made or by who. It's an incredible canvas both in painting technique and conceptual design. Period.

Hang that ball in your space and watch people dribble with excitement.

It matters a great deal actually. Particularly when we talk about a painting this skilful...that's because the concept here isn't ground breaking it's the execution that matters so in that context whether Mr Price painted really does matter. It's just an opinion so I don't mind if other people disagree.
I think many artists would be disappointed to be known as a brand....they're Not all Warhol you know.

[kuni]

Admittedly my Lucas Price knowledge is limited to what’s available pubclicly online, but he does have an MFA from the Royal Academy, and is known to be a proficient painter, no? I would hope that someone who gets an MFA from RA would know their way around a canvas. Is it well known that Price doesn’t create his works with his own hand? Not asking rhetorically, I just can’t find anything to indicate that he has other people doing the actual work.

[Icesay]

I asked as it was mentioned before on here before and am interested in the photo realistic stuff....it just amazes me.

I appreciate your opinion and you are certainly entitled to it. 

I feel that concept, whether groundbreaking or not (which itself is a matter of opinion) should not be the threshold that governs whether it is acceptable for an artist to have assistance on his works.

The most prolific and famous artists in the world, even as far back as Da Vinci, had scores of artists working on their pieces, which they oversaw and contributed to where necessary.

Now I'm not comparing Mr Price to Da Vinci, in any respect, however I am saying that he is entitled to, as with any artist, assistance or contribution from any third party. Whether it be the screen printer pulling the screens, the person spraying an already cut stencil, or the sculptor who creates an item based on the artists concept.

These are of course my opinions, I just find it impossible to draw a line of inference on which artists can and can not have any assistance with their works, the measure of that assistance and medium.

Whether an artist is happy to be regarded as a brand or not i'm not sure, but what I do know is that if a product is created under a repeated name or bears a regular mark, it is in fact regarded as a brand. An individual becomes a brand in this respect, whether they choose to or not.

Just my 2cents on the matter. Either way, the pieces under the Lucas 'brand' are outstanding and breathtaking to look at in person. Those of you who have had that pleasure I'm sure will agree.

I’m amazed by it too. In the same way I’m amazed by people who can listen to a song and then play it on the piano. Maybe it can be taught, but I see it as an innate talent.

I think all of these comments have some truth to them. The problem is they are contradictory. And that's the issue with the art world.

[cakeboy]

It’s also a sales thread and not a debate. Take that off line and create your own threads for things that are unrelated to the sale of my painting.

An open forum is for points of view and discussion but there are other areas in this forum for this kind of debate. I respect all of your views, really I do. Please respect my sales thread in return.

I’m trying to sell my painting and hopefully get it to a good home so that someone on here can enjoy this Like I have for the last three years. This has been offered on here first before any other medium!

This is a truly stunning painting and needs a great home.

Cool. So, just to double check - this minor league artist came up with the concept of a basketball Avec smiley  face on a BIG canvas, paid a fella in China minimum Renminbi, and now charging maximum dollari? And the justification is minor artists like da Vinci and Warhol involved other people? Bwahahahahaah! You people make me nervous walking the streets.

Without anyone commenting this would drop way down the sales page....at least people are talking about it! Could be worse.

I've always felt the same.  I'd rather my sales thread break out into a pissing contest with old timers slinging insults at each other vs. nobody posting anything.  At least the comments keep the post near the top of the page. 

Apologies cakeboy, it's a fantastic piece and obviously a conversation starter.
