Yes that's the same artist. The piece on the right is by her. The others look to be all by another artist who's name escapes me.

Scavos is right, the 'lady' on the right is by Swoon but all the rest are by a guy called OTHER - a canadian graf artist best known for painting frieght trains.

Isn't Swoon an American girl who pastes up cut papers ? I saw some of those works in a book. Like stencils cut in very thin yellow paper and directly pasted up the walls... Is it the same Swoon ? The pieces I see here look very different.

i take it the lovely swoon hasn't made it to the continent then? although she is mentioned in plenty of threads on here..

its pretty big. Plus she is an established artist with probably the best resume of anyone in the genre. The MOMA bought 6 works last year for their private collection, and she has had shows all over the world a couple times over...Im not saying its cheap by any means, but all that stuff adds up to expensive work. In 1-5 years and then 20 more itll be peanuts.

But most importantly, the work is of such great quality. And really speaks to me. It is a great pleasure to be living with my piece. It really enhances my day and living space like no other work I have owned before.

wowzeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer

Another artist vanishes from my sights

[manchestermike]

100% mind made up on Swoon for me now

[scavos]

Fair play to you ricosg11. That has got to be the most impressive Swoon piece I have seen. The use of light is superb. Absolutely beautiful.






Unlike the bin in your toilet.

[Paul]

amazing pieces, truly

[ricosg11]

that bin came with the piece. Thanks for the compliment.

Sorry we couldnt swoon you over mike. haha what a terrible joke.

[aj]

Sweet Rico very nice, +1 you have exactly the same floor as me ,you don't
live in pinner do you?

Your toilet bin needs refreshing lol

[ricosg11]

I am in NYC any other art fans around, I am always looking for a few like minded people since none of my friends are into art.

Consider the Bin emptied.

[badger]

Does anyone know how much 'Kiku' went for from BRP?

[pezlow]

I have a question. And excuse my ignorance. What differentiates some of these swoon originals to the swoon screenprints apart from the size. Take this one as an example:

www.blackratpress.co.uk/product-untitled.php?gallery=yes

And then compare it to this

www.papermonster.net/artist.php?artist=3&filter=soldout

Apart from a slight different in both physical size and edition size aren't they identical images and identical media - i.e. screenprint on mylar. So how can the cost of one of them be so much higher than the cost of the other???

[absyrd]

It makes no sense, pez, other than that she probably printed the one herself as opposed to having someone else do the large editions.

I could see a difference in cost if it was an original woodblock or linocut vs a screen, but I think you have a point on that one.

Are you sure the BRP "Original" version is a screenprint? I'd always assumed that the "originals" were either woodcuts or linocuts, which Swoon produced and printed herself from the original block. Hence justifying the extra cost (as J alluded to). Can anyone confirm?

[BlackRatPress]

its a woodcut

Okay. Now that makes sense.

Thanks.
