The stolen Sekoto: Colour me miserable

The stolen Sekoto: Colour me miserable

He was recognised as a pioneer of urban black art in South Africa – he broke the “native” mould and captured in brilliant hues the vibrant street life of iconic communities like Sophiatown and District Six. In 1940 one of his works became the first painting by a black artist to enter a museum collection. The only way he could see it on display at the Johannesburg Art Museum was to pretend to be a cleaner. Later in life he was hailed as Africa’s first great Impressionist and recognised as a master. Today, many of his paintings are worth millions of rand each.

CopyRight new exhibition in London (Pure Evil Gallery)

A much awaited exhibition opened in London at the Pure Evil Gallery, 108 Leonard Street: 'Pop Lives, Pagan Hearts' by CopyRight. The Bristol based artist is considered by many as "ultra talented" and following his appearance in "The Apprentice" has gained a larger audience than the 'Urban Art aficionados'.

CopyRight's technique evolves in the right direction and besides stencils, screenprint and "decoupes",the artist is now using neon lights and stained glass to experiment.

CopyRight's style and theme has not changed much though and one can criticise the repetitive use of female faces, butterflies and birds, bold words and decorative patterns...we love it though and a few pieces are worth the tag price. Finearte has a beautiful "Precious Damage" by CopyRight for sale.

Mark Grambau's Superheros series

I just came across an article on lostateminor.com on the Vintage style posters of Dave Ault, an artist from Portland, OR ...and I just remembered that a few years ago I really liked and bought some posters from Mark Grambau (who unfortunately does not sell them anymore)... They were of a brilliant quality and I prefer his style to Ault.
