Banksy Video story on CNN.com (USA), by thwaites on Dec 19, 2006 21:54:32 GMT 1, no probs. its always hard to describe an image in google! If you see a nude reclining female in an old master painting it is usually a Venus, there are many of this ilk but Velazquez's is a fav of mine. im a art history geek so im happy to share info about the classics.
if i could own any banksy it would be one of his "retouched" old masters. I would love to see each of the originals alongside Banksy's.

Me too!! I'm a big huge fan of detournement. I got some oil painting repros of Banky's "remixed classics" for that reason... they'll probably never stop plummeting in value, but I love them to bits nonethelss! His ideas are so hilarious and ingenious and well-executed! My favorite by far is his take on Monet's waterlily pond. Absolutely brilliant!

Banksy Video story on CNN.com (USA), by thwaites on Dec 19, 2006 22:25:13 GMT 1, They are my fav Banksys, I think the most interesting aspect of his work. I wish he would produce a print of one! Stick it in a lovely antique frame and i'd be happy as. I am thinking about getting a repro tho. Where did you get yours from? Are they good quality?

Stick it in a lovely antique frame and i'd be happy as. I am thinking about getting a repro tho. Where did you get yours from? Are they good quality?
I commissioned mine from a group of artists from Hong Kong... just sent them a high-res picture and voilá! A real oil painting! Here's one of them:
As for the quality, I don't have *such* high standards, and I'm very happy with them. They do pretty good work, I think. If you want to get in touch with them, send me a pm and I'll send you their email address directly. They're a very friendly bunch and very 'customable', i.e., once they finish a piece they'll send you a high-res picture and if you're not happy about anything they'll change it until you are.  The closest I can come to owning the real thing (at an affordable-ish price!)

Thanks They tell you what size they'll do it on, but I'm pretty sure if you have a specified size preference, it won't be a problem As for affordability, I said "affordable-ish" because it wasn't exactly £9.99  This particular one it cost me around £90, but that's together with insured shipping (which is very fast). It's not horrendously cheap, but personally, I think £90 for a oil painting repro (not giclée) isn't bad at all... especially since there's no official prints available, and the originals cost an arm, a leg, your first born child, and his/her arm and leg ;D
Like I said, if you're interested, just shoot me a pm and I'll give you their email address directly

Banksy Video story on CNN.com (USA), by Ågentßacardi on Dec 22, 2006 9:09:14 GMT 1, Hey thwaites, I have another classic art question for ya! You know the "Sale Ends" image from Banksy's latest show (and the LA prints)? Where are the mourning women from? Were they taken from a classic renaissance piece or something? Thanks!

heh i knew i shouldnt have said i know some stuff! actually that one has been annoying me, i definately recognise them from somewhere, and i would assume it was from a renaissance piece.. i am going to do some google research now and see if i can find anything...
nope. doh, although it seems likely to me that he has used a classical type, rather than "copying" a specific painting, they definately recall religious figures in classical paintings. I will have a look in some of my art books and see if i can find anything. im afraid this isnt my area of expertise! ihavent really used my brain since i graduated so it will be nice to do some art historical research!
in a while crocodile.
