Pøbel 🇧🇻 Norway Street Art • New Print Release , by tab1 on Feb 26, 2016 22:30:33 GMT 1, So....a strong image for people who live in Northern Norway, are worried about cod-oil production and like wild life....Pobel really going for the demographic that is tighter than a gnat's chuff....and a lottery for this!!! so what he going to do with the other 247?
Could team up with another fellow artist and be special editions

Time will tell on this image but i remember a similar debate when the fisherman with the surfboard came out.

I really wanted the fisherman with the surfboard, and a actively sort it for a couple of years, but now I've changed my wants and needs.....
I'd still grab it given the opportunity

Pøbel 🇧🇻 Norway Street Art • New Print Release , by loother on Feb 27, 2016 0:10:34 GMT 1, I like it. I mean, it's totally baffling, and I'm not going to buy it, but I definitely do like it. I'd like it more if the central third wasn't completely black – and it may well not be quite so monochromatic in real true life, who knows? – but if I had to put this on the Big Chart of Possible Reactions to a Thing it would definitely be in a good place. I think it may have a particular resonance for residents of Norway with which I can only vaguely empathise, but I think there are still pleasures here for the non-Norwegians. For a start, of all the things a man could be pictured holding to his chest while wailing like he's cradling the still-warm corpse of his freshly run-over grandma, an enormous fish is among the funniest*.
* I've now spent 10 minutes trying to think of something funnier, without success.

Pøbel 🇧🇻 Norway Street Art • New Print Release , by Deleted on Feb 27, 2016 0:27:16 GMT 1, I really like it.
I've always (probably incorrectly) thought these works (this, Lofoten, Ice Ice Baby) carried environmental messages around global warming, over-fishing etc that whilst local in their depiction of the fishermen were global in the message. I like that he raises them in humorous way.
But it might just be a bloke crying over a big fish.

Why would you ? Good point, as you clearly don't like it,
Why would somebody else want it on their wall, why should that bother you as it's not your wall.
Is it a joke, once again you don't need to be bothered by it as you don't want it on your wall.
The pun along with the picture is the reason you have decided you don't want it on your wall.
Why waste your time telling us you don't want it on your wall if it does nothing for you, not sure you have gained any enjoyment by telling us this, like I have gained nothing from pointless commenting on your pointless comments.
Just saying, no worries

That would make for a really shit dull forum.

Why would people want - and pay big bucks for - an image of a monkey holding a sign in their wall, or ____insert basically any image here_________?
Along those lines, I suspect if the title of this post said "In Cod We Trust - New Banksy print coming up" there would be different reception to the image in particular if folks could potentially get their hands on one versus being a wall piece (yes, that is a dig on the art appreciation vs. art market criticism from the Calais thread).

I am sorry to say that the "if this was by Banksy ..." argument holds little merit in my opinion. The argument could be used for any piece of art, no matter how poor.
It's not by Banksy. It's not as good as Banksy's work (again, in my opinion). Moreover, I think it's a little insulting to suggest that the people who are not enamoured by this work would love it if only it were by Banksy. My appreciation of the art on my walls is not dictated by its value, investment potential, or the "name" of the person who created it.

I can assure you I am not one of them.
Perhaps I would get it if I was affected by the fishing problem it is commentating on.
If someone can explain what they actually like about it then that would be good.
I've been dug out because I have said I don't like it. But it's ok to comment by saying great and I like it without any reason given?

1) I think the title is a rubbish play on words.
2) I find the subject matter dull and irrelevant to my life.

You know I was reflecting on your last sentence following my post. You're right in some respects. I think I was particularly struck by the manner in which the point was communicated...
Not that this forum should or needs to be a kumbaya session nor is the subject matter of much of the art.

And by the looks of things, Ill be able to snatch one short after release as most people seem not to like it.
Hopefully my lottery ticket will be picked, otherwise bring it on flipper.
If its about oil, nature og whatever, a fish is a beautiful thing. And its going on my wall.

Yeah I bet that happens real often:
'I love that print, but I don´t like the title, I will not buy it!'
or
'I hate that print, but the title is so cool, I will buy it!'
