Lady Aiko 🇯🇵 Aiko Nakagawa • New York Street Art

[Simococo]

some of her work is really vivid and spirited, and its only going to get better. I really liked the bunnies at TLSG even if they were a little on the expensive side. She was the force behind Faile's street work and that tells you everything. Its not like she's lost her talent overnight.

It must be hard for her, though. She helped create Faile's style. If she goes off on her own and does the exact same thing, people will hate on her. I'm sure it puts pressure on her to differ herself and possibly hurts the work.

if you have enough creative talent you don't let things like this affect your output...

[absyrd]

So you think she lacks creative talent? Hook me up with all your Faile stuff then?

[bobbymeachamjr]

maybe she worked well with the other guys. Could be one of those things. Her solo stuff is not good. Just my humble opinion. If there was no "faile" associated with her solo stuff she would be getting pennies on the dollar.

Holden you know if I can apply for job as writer for that paper. Their writers seem to forget to press spell check.

What about Andy Rourke and Mike Joyce......

No idea why Aiko split but it seems an odd thing to do with the world starting to open up to what you've been doing for all these years. Faile were cheap as chops last year, large canvasses could be bought from Laz for £1,500 and the editions of 10 hand finished prints went for about £75 including shipping from the US of A. People were even throwing out Faile stuff, anyone remember the piece of machinery from POW with a large pink Faile tag on it that had been left at the back of POW towers?
Good luck to her.

[Imoy-San]

Robo, I am not sure. There seems to be quite a few people in town this week.

[mike hunt]

Aiko's split from faile reminds me of when Michael Owen left Liverpool and then they won the champions league. Worse still, he was on tv being asked what he thought, and looked absolutely gutted!

The work she did that was similar to a lichtenstein was amazing. I would buy that stuff all day. The bunny and women stencils are very weak in comparison and seem to be the direction she prefers to head. Best of luck to her though.

[mike hunt]

A lot of it is about pr. Its also about believing in yourself when its not working out. Its either about being strong or deluding yourself (depending which side of the fence you are looking from). Lets face it, being an artist is a tough life if you haven't made it. All that time working, you are skint and have no idea if it will work out. Whenever an artist does well, I always feel admiration, even if I dislike their work.

Speil check???

[meatbag]

I dig her work and I agree she'll grow as a solo artist. I really liked the 3 Dirty Lindas from the Lineage show. They were gallery wrapped canvas with images on all sides and were a steal at $1200 each.

[ab]

i have a very nice Aiko canvas (best i have seen) from her recent show with bast in japan
its a one off work and about 50x50cm i think
i may well have to sell it as this month has killed my bank account
if anyones interested shoot me a pm

thanks

[Daniel Silk]

I emailed her last week inviting her on here ;D but heard nothing back yet

[robbsutt]

Can you post a pic of your Aiko?

[ab]

dont have another pic as yet
its below the bast in this shot

it looks way more faile to me then any of her other stuff
infact in the show was also a piece by her that was the faile girl blowing the smoking gun done on hardboard
then the old faile skull tag repeatedly underneath
so i think this one too was perhaps done in her faile days

its nice and i may well keep it but given this months spending i may not

[morrissey1]

two colourways of a new Aiko print are now for sale at www.andenken.com for $250 each, edition of 50 each.

[morrissey1]

some nice originals there too

[maadbeats]

Some really good OG's. Little priceythough. Thanks for the link

[punkwithtats]

Not sure if it's an error, but Aiko's Can't Handle is available at the Ghetto. It says over 100 are still available.

[goatislander]

When I looked it said they had 122 prints left. I guess this means they only dropped 28 initially.

[Francis]

only 118 left now

[Gentle Mental]

no wonder no one is flipping them!

are they doing this to piss off the flippers? crerating the feeling that editions are sold out, just to drop another 100 a few days later, hope they do the same with faile!!! they should have tried that with the Blu as welll!

[stradled]

Great.

I wonder why this happened, quite funny, this thread has been read 46 times and my print number was 46. Thanks for the headss up

[Gentle Mental]

It's not selling out as fast as before...wonder why?

[seidbereit]

Are these likely to be cancellations or has someone only emptied their basket now?

Over 120 available from a 150 edition. Blimey.

With POW already shipping the Faile's, I don' think they'll be releasing anymore Momento Mori's through the Ghetto.

[snakes]

i dont think these ever went on sale as there does not seem to be any on the bay.

not my bag but somebody's going to dove them.
