After a brainstorm session with redbirds we came up with the following idea.

I must say I am rather pleased with this.....

How cool! I just started a piece that reminds me of your piece. And the oddest part of it is that the style is completely out of the realm of my usual work.

I have always thought synchronicity between artists and their peers may be the result of our shared collective awareness combined with our inherent desire to make a visual representation of our perception of the zeitgeist.

Or does that just sound crazy? Lol

we are living in the same world so it's normal that people starting to do almost the same thing. Not crazy at all. There is another French guy which is doing almost the same thing. I started in 2011 to do that, I think he started few years after. Might be globalisation =)  Can't wait to see your piece

My son bought Kafka's book The Metamorphosis as a present, but the cover was kinda messed up.
So he asked his best friend to make a drawing to use as a cover.
He made this from the top of his head. I'm quite impressed.......

Assuming you're open to a one-off critique, here are some straightforward comments:

1. Your source image by the Turkish photographer was not ideal for a stencilled piece. The model has her face and body smeared with brown makeup to resemble dirt or grease. However, this aspect from the original photo doesn't translate effectively to a monochrome painting. It isn't very clear and, moreover, it creates what then appears to be slightly unnatural shading of the skin.


2. With this type of portrait, consider either:

(i) fewer stencil layers for a starker, high-contrast effect; or

(ii) more stencil layers for increased detail and greater subtlety in the shading transitions.

At the moment, the work lies in an unhappy middle ground. It's too obvious that the separations were created using a software programme. For me, the resulting aesthetic is naff and dated. It's the aesthetic of Martin Whatson, somebody I consider to be an impostor (albeit one who has, at least thus far, fooled many among that vast base of collectors with untrained eyes).

[Having previously viewed some of your artwork earlier this year, including the microphone piece, I believe you're technically more capable at stencilling than Whatson.]


3. Be careful with your choice of subject matter.

First, it can be viewed as derivative of more recognised artists known for creating comparable imagery, in this case like Snik.

Second, especially in the stencil community, paintings of beautiful young women (along with those of celebrities) have become a tiresome cliché. Easy on the eye but conceptually barren — and therefore vulnerable to being dismissed as purely decorative. In my view, the bondage theme doesn't suffice to overcome this issue.


4. Your skills will become more honed over time, but they're largely already in evidence. Further emphasis can now be placed on coming up with fresh ideas, which is the most difficult challenge of being an artist.


I hope the above feedback will be viewed as constructive, and look forward to seeing more of your art in the future.

Nice to see actual constructive criticism here - it's what these kind of threads are about.

Or you can simply ignore just another artist's point of view and stick to your own, be yourself as an artist, with your flaws and mark of genius, because it simply is what makes an artist, being unique, and because art is like colors and shapes, you will and must never please everyone.

Be yourself man, I love your stuff. All the new art movements in the past have been criticized for being too modern, new, ugly, different, dark, mad, colorful, abstract etc... name it. Who knows what future art will look like. THe world has changed more in the last 100 years than in millenia.

I personally actually like this, it created emotions in me, and that's what I'm after with art.

No disrespect to met who probably intended well, but art is not meant to be consensual. That's my very personal take on art evolution.

Hi, this is my first post! Been a lurker for a while, but here's some recent work. Any comments or criticism is welcomed.

[Coach]

I like your work very much stavi. I'm looking forward to seeing more. Do you have a website?

[stavi]

Thank you coach. Here's my Instagram.

I usually post my work there and any streetart I do when I find the right spots.

I have no wall space for a decent photo of this (it’s quite large).
