Angel Ortiz • LA2 LA II 🇺🇸 Graffiti Artist • Keith Haring , by John The Badgers on Apr 23, 2024 18:49:01 GMT 1, Can I add, D'Stassi Gallery a great venue/location.
Fortunate to go to the exhibition put on last time LA2 visited. I'm not from that there London, and had a great time to say the least.
As someone more used to leaning on a farm gate with a straw in their mouth, a very cool place to say the least.
Really hospitable, and although not overly familiar with his work, really enjoyed seeing all the pieces on display - great work.

Angel Ortiz • LA2 LA II 🇺🇸 Graffiti Artist • Keith Haring , by met on Apr 27, 2024 22:43:09 GMT 1, I really like met contribution to the fo rum the past 15 years and find their comments insightful and well articulated. I will respectfully disagree with their public opinion that LA2 lacks talent and that his recent paintings are not well executed. I hope met and other critics of LA2 can check out the show at D'Stassi in person and see with their own eyes that LA2 definitely has talent and that his recent works are actually just as good and or better that his older ones. Have a great weekend - Wear
Along with the well‑crafted piss-taking and witty one‑liners, it is the calm and considered exchanges of opposing viewpoints that I find most engaging on this forum.
Disagreements are good. They challenge us. Provided we avoid becoming defensive or hysterical, and are willing to listen to alternative perspectives, disagreements can push us to rethink our own positions — sometimes helping to nuance them, or change them altogether.
Pride is often a stumbling block to this kind of open‑mindedness, especially when we conflate our opinions with our own identities. Or if we see changing our minds as being a sign of weakness.
Related cognitive biases and fallacies also enter the equation, like consistency bias and escalation of commitment (similar to the sunk‑cost fallacy). They derive from our tenacious need to remain consistent with our previous actions, decisions and expressed viewpoints. This, sometimes despite new, contradicting information we might be presented with.
I am conscious and wary of the above risks. When taking any stance, my approach is to embrace what Julia Galef* refers to as the scout mindset, as opposed to the soldier mindset. And being a fallible human, I try to remain open to the possibility of more persuasive, competing evidence later coming my way.
__________
Regarding Angel Ortiz / LA II, I am familiar enough with his work and background to consider myself reasonably informed. Otherwise, I'd hesitate about commenting without qualifying my thoughts accordingly.
The view I've taken on the calibre of Ortiz as an artist is mostly based on paintings he has exhibited over the past decade.
Excluded from this assessment are a number of side issues that are distinct from the art. For example:
(i) Ortiz perhaps being a very nice chap, one for whom most of us would wish the best;
(ii) the wistful or nostalgic narrative appeal of the artist's history, given his part in what is often deemed a golden age in graffiti;
(iii) market considerations, like whatever demand might exist for the artist's work, or the prices at which his paintings are currently selling;
(iv) Ortiz's status as an artist, especially due to his ties with Keith Haring, i.e. often more of a reflected fame by association, than a standalone fame from individual achievement; or
(v) the fact that, 40 years ago, Ortiz hung out and worked with a handful of now‑dead, art superstars — art superstars whose own original pieces will forever be out of reach to most collectors.
My focus has thus been on the actual paintings created by Ortiz. The artwork itself.
And what I see is that, despite his decades of experience, LA II lacks a good eye for composition, and is wanting in technical skill.
More damningly, his ideas are banal. It feels to me like a case of arrested development: A middle‑aged man stuck in his teens, having (from what I can tell) not really moved forward as an artist or done anything truly innovative since the 1980s.
Some of his recent paintings even have pastiche elements of Haring iconography, like the serpents and the Three Eyed Monster, suggesting this is an artist who still needs a crutch. And who is looking backwards instead of forwards.
CONCLUSION
LA II is okay when playing second fiddle.
But as a solo artist, his work just isn't strong enough, either technically or conceptually, to merit more than a passing glance.
The dearth of serious institutional interest in LA II therefore doesn't come as a surprise to me. It seems not so much that his post-Haring-collaboration paintings have been overlooked, but more a case of the work having been considered, and then largely dismissed.
____________________
Although our views differ on the talent level of LA II, that isn't a big deal.
Either way, there will still be common ground between us. I suspect where we are in agreement is that, more broadly and as a rule of thumb, collectors are best advised to "Buy with your eyes, not with your ears."
Keeping in mind this maxim lowers our likelihood of:
(a) being unduly swayed by people with vested interests;
(b) attributing excessive weight to articles that read like gallery press releases (cut-and-pasted or paraphrased by hack journalists);
(c) caving in to the fear of missing out, or to a false sense of urgency often cultivated by unscrupulous sellers; or
(d) being sheep‑like in our buying behaviour ("I want what they want!").
__________
In a couple of past posts**, I've mentioned some of the basic questions collectors should ask themselves when considering art, and especially when weighing up a possible purchase:
(i) Why exactly do I like this piece?
Or, if the reasons are different, Why do I want to own this piece?
(ii) What are the artwork's strengths, and what are its weaknesses?
(iii) Is the art / artist actually any good?
(iv) Am I perhaps buying with my ears rather than my eyes, and therefore behaving like a lemming? To what extent is my desire to acquire this piece being influenced by what other people are buying, or appearing to buy?
The art world rarely inflicts harm upon us when we pause for a moment. When we take a bit of time out. To use our eyes. To actually think.
Is [x] painting, print or poster really so compelling — inspired and inspiring (as opposed to, say, clichéd or inane), or at least interesting enough to retain our attention for a few years to come?
If not, then query the instinct to automatically click the BUY button, like some puppet or a dog conditioned by Pavlov.
In such cases, life might be more productive, even more fulfilling, if we resist temptation and instead just carry on with our Swedish Death Cleaning.

To whet your appetite, below are some recent snapshots of paintings by LA II.
The show organisers and curator did a good job, given what they had to work with. Together, they made a real effort.
Didn't take any context photos, sadly, but I do remember the overall display was well executed:
Paintings were hung onto different surface types (including plasterboard and wood veneer panels) for contrasting background tones/textures. No hanging rails, which is always a pleasure to experience. And not a hanging wire in sight.

Although I wish Angel all the best, and respect that he's still producing work in a manner of sorts, these attempts to establish a significant art narrative for his work between the 80's and 2020's is sadly irrelevant outside of the USA. Maybe attaching his name to further "collab" partners can lift his profile further, but it does nothing to "lift" his art.

I have my 2nd canvas being delivered tomorrow and cannot wait. Each to their own, but never know why some comments have to be so derogatory. I like met’s posts because there is an honest and articulate thought process behind his criticisms.

Many of the works shown on this thread are small paintings created many years ago and admittedly not his best compositions.

One of the best shows I’ve been to in a while, the atmos was proper old skool good times! Managed to get lots signed by all 3 artists and LA2 was an absolute gent, as was Mr Doodle and Stik to be fair but that was one not to be missed! Great to also meet Soe too who hit up an old skool hip hop set and hear his stories and how he was responsible for introducing LA2 to Keith Haring. Big thanks to Eddy and the guys at D'Stassi Art for their hospitality 🙌

Thank you to all the forum members that made it to the opening !!
Over 1,000 people attended the event last night from 7 PM - 4 AM.
Congratulations to LA2 and D'Stassi for bringing back the NYC Old School Vibe to the UK !
Big thanks to STIK, Mr Doodle, SOE, Philip Colbert and all the other artists that traveled far and wide to show some love to LA2.
If you are in London - I highly recommend that you pop in to D'Stassi for a viewing.
Based on everyone's facial reaction they seemed to be blown away by the Shepard "Obey" Fairey, Richard "Shadowman" Hambleton, STIK, Mr Doodle & Mark Kostabi original collab paintings.
Thank you Shoreditch for another successful show !!!!
I have been up for 3 days - so it is time for Wear to take a disco nap !!!!!!

Big thanks to STIK, Mr Doodle, SOE, Philip Colbert and all the other artists that traveled far and wide to show some love to LA2.
If you are in London - I highly recommend that you pop in to D'Stassi for a viewing.
Based on everyone's facial reaction they seemed to be blown away by the Shepard "Obey" Fairey, Richard "Shadowman" Hambleton, STIK, Mr Doodle & Mark Kostabi original collab paintings.
Thank you Shoreditch for another successful show !!!!
I have been up for 3 days - so it is time for Wear to take a disco nap !!!!!!
