NEW Ben Eine Show At Stolen Space., by Sacked... on Sept 30, 2015 10:58:21 GMT 1, 'Your Not My Type'
EINE
09.10.15 - 08.11.15
StolenSpace is proud to present an inaugural solo show from one of the most renowned names in British Street Art, Ben Eine.
Eine remains one of Londons most prolific and original street artists specializing in the central element of all graffiti - the form of letters. Sticking with his iconic style of typography that shot him to fame, this new body of work Your Not My Type* promises to be stunning as ever.
Eines unique style can be seen around the world. Producing huge letters on shop fronts, his bright, colourful work has transformed streets around the world in cities including LA, San Francisco, Mexico City, Miami, Paris, Dublin, Tokyo, Stockholm as well as his home city of London. Through his unique combination of colour, size, and style, Eines words and letters become abstract pieces in their own right.
Eine bold work goes further than the streets however. David Cameron famously gifted Barack Obama a piece on his first trip to Washington as Prime Minister.
From single letters to wry statements, Eine has left his mark worldwide. Your Not My Type promises to be another unmissable show from this incredible artist.
*Four letters looked better than five - Ben Eine

www.stolenspace.com/pdf/Ben_Eine_Your_Not_My_Type.pdf
All great pieces but pretty standard fare and prices fairly stiff.
I see he's going with the ''crude oils" theme in some of the pieces too. Not sure I'm too keen on those...

In terms of buying does all the art usually go on day 1?

I've seen the dare I say itβ¦.. PDF (Surprised no one has mentioned those letters yet) and not too impressed. I'll save my judgment to when I see them in the flesh tonight.

Sad I won't be able to see them in person, but I agree, the pdf is less than thrilling on first look.

NEW Ben Eine Show At Stolen Space., by 11 on Oct 10, 2015 0:33:05 GMT 1, The largest turn out of forum members in one place since that show, back-end of the summer....ah can't even remember it now 
It was definitely a crowded event and there were some nice pieces. Wasn't taken with the 'Oils' at all but some of the other pieces were nicely executed. One of the Neons was a bit 'fluffy' but on the whole a nice body of work.
The large 12+ piece canvas was impressive but who has the room for that ? - I'd have to sacrifice a window or two to be able to display it.

Had most of these sold on the opening night ?
I don't see the little red dots (but am on my phone), but I assume this still sells quite fast as Eine definitely has a strong following

Although he has made a few background tweaks to the usual fonts, I have to agree this isn't groundbreaking
But I like what he does, his fonts are part of the East London backdrop, and he seems to be sticking to it.
Harland Miller (thinking of your avatar) has been painting book covers for ever yet I still like every new witty release.
I can deal with artists doing what they do I guess

I had mixed feelings about the work. I don't know if its already been mentioned, the 'oils' were a print that had been stencilled over and so seemed just flat and lacked any real body - even a tatty old painting, dug from the back of the shelf of a charity shop has character and some feeling to it but these were too fresh and clinical. Other than wanting a uniform size and not being able to source the exact spec I can't imagine why he went down that route.
The other canvases with patterned and textured backgrounds were really nice, traditional Eine and not ground breaking but very well executed and I though a real nice composition of colours and layout gave them a nice twist. A glitter Indiana LOVE and a few other pieces were really well executed, I enjoyed it but wasn't the best show of the night

I think only one piece was marked as sold.
Not sure if others sold by the end f the night, but it didn't look likely.
It's not a good sign when the artist doesn't come to his own show.

I'm not that fussed with an artist being in attendance at a preview, obviously it's nice if they are. Very little seemed sold, I saw three red sold dots by the end of the evening. Not surprising really as there were two large collages which would have been either very expensive or would have been sold as smaller meaningless jumbles of letters. |
