The Artist DOLK, by Daniel Silk on Aug 31, 2019 1:53:34 GMT 1, Surprised more people haven’t been talking about Dolk in the past few years.
Looking at his website he has been making some really quality pieces.

The Artist DOLK, by Chris JL on Aug 31, 2019 2:11:20 GMT 1, Totally agree. I’ve seen some of his abstract work live, and it’s remarkable.
But I think many old fans of his felt somehow abandoned after his stylistic change of direction.
(Not to mention that there isn’t much flipping game to be had, so some might loose interest...)

Say an edition of 50 signed prints, £250 each, I think they would be popular.
He was is a great position with his original style of stencil work, I would say he was actually making much better art than Banksy, so if he had carried on in the same style, I’m sure he would be massive now! Certainly on a level with artists such as Banksy, Shepard Fairey, Kaws.

Yeah, I wonder if he released a few of his Abstract pieces as print editions, I think they would sell well. Say an edition of 50 signed prints, £250 each, I think they would be popular.

The Artist DOLK, by Chris JL on Sept 1, 2019 0:09:05 GMT 1, I think it would be very challenging to render his current type of work on prints. He has been experimenting with industrial painting methods, lamination, sanding surfaces to shine, and spray panting like for cars to a highly reflective gloss level, and then altering the surfaces by scratching and hammering, where the (often distorted) reflections become essential parts of the work.
I’m not saying it can’t be done, but I don’t think that can be easily delivered with screen printing, or even giclee. I have never seen something in print that gets even close to that (the closer that comes to my mind is Katrin Fridriks, but that’s still very far from what would be need to render Dolk’s current imagery).
But I’m no expert in printing (but for photography), so I might be totally wrong.
