pow & vhils, by displaced bear on Jun 9, 2008 12:12:11 GMT 1, as said on pow
Next timeโฆ
Everyoneโs favourite drill wielding Portuguese maverick VHILS has been experimenting with all sorts of chemicals in our state of the art research facility (next doorโs car park). The results will be available imminently and are almost certainly the first time weโve ever tried to sell you something made out of Quink ink and household bleach.
i can't wait! i love vhils! now that's some exciting news

Agreed. The lad has a major talent but I am wondering how he will cope with the space restriction of paper / canvas.
Can't wait however

yea 2 fave artists atm = c215 and vhils but i don't necessary see the similarities since one does stenciling the other uses either poster layering/drilling and what not.

I'm hoping for a big old portrait, full of layers and colours and drippy bits and stuff....

pow & vhils, by onemandown72 on Jun 11, 2008 9:09:13 GMT 1, I cannot for the life of me see how you can translate what Vhils does to print format. He blew me away with his work at Cans, and I too really hope his print isn't the image above as I cannot believe that this would be good for him artistically. For me his work is about texture, depth and medium - this all potentially lost in a screenprint (unless done on concrete with battery acid handfinishing!) Huge talent that I hope hits the heights. And those carmicheal pieces are fantastic

I guess that POW to me represent great openings to emerging artists, but at the same time seem to be the "Art Monster", the Tesco of urban/contemporary art (there is an image to play with if you are an artist ;D), growing in stature, in the way previous releases have gone, the hype they use, previous potentially dodgy dealings on releases, the bay etc....
I just wanted the love to be spread around, that all! It's like any other commercial sector, the giants and the minnows, I am a fan always of the minnow!
