For those with a donut fetish, may I suggest Ralph Goings. Yes, they're far more expensive than the print from Banksy and admittedly nowhere near as well executed as Ralph himself would have done 20 years ago, but I have much respect for a man over 80 still dedicated to his craft and most of the work at this link after suffering a stroke.

In better times with hands of steel and execution using watercolor that I have never seen matched. Here on a canvas that looks like a photo to the naked eye even from a distance of 2 inches:



More of his wonderful work here and my only problem with it from an admiration standpoint is that they only seem to work hung inside a home in a kitchen.

saw some of his stuff in the berlin guggenheim back in april, huge canvases, absolutley mind boggling. even when its right in front of you its hard to get your head around the chrome effects he does, particularly the stuff from the 70's. (Girlfriend thought we were looking at very big, pretty photographs for the 1st 5 mins )

I have joined your girlfriends group Junta. I keep looking at the website - nice post thanks.

[chrisps303]

The pictures on that site are crazy, they look so much like photographs.

Yeah, it's quite a trade they practiced. Goings, Mel Ramos and Wayne Thiebaud were all pretty tight and though each of them worked on different themes, there are similarities throughout their work. All of them have STRONG foundations in the technique and if memory serves Ramos taught Goings watercolor technique and though they are both among the best examples I've ever seen, I'd give the slight nod to the student in that medium. It's quite a rich history they all share though Ramos and Goings never achieved the commercial success that Thiebaud had. All of them teachers in their own right, stress a foundation with drawing being so very important to their work. It was part of the initial attraction to me with Banksy as he too preaches a love for the craft as necessary in W&P to finding his own way artistically. His art is much different than theirs but that theme is evident in all the great ones including the abstract painters who could draw something perfectly yet their art explored something different entirely.

Sorry about the tangent to your thread maxie; good luck in your search.

no worries dudes, had a few good offers so far, but still waiting for THAT one, if not then its off to Mr Frameman!
