The Apprentice - Urban Art Edition
So, did you watch it? Yes the contestants may have made the whole experience a tad cringy, but what great exposure for the artists involved!
The UK can feel proud of its creative culture and artistic talent as the Country Urban Art heritage appeared on last night ‘The Apprentice’ show on BBC One, 9th May, 2012.
In the show’s eighth task, contestants were sent to Bristol, meeting with a number of the city’s own urban artists to meet the challenge of creating a pop-up art gallery in which to sell their urban style artwork. Copyright, Bristol's most upcoming Urban artist featured in the programme and was one of the artist chosen by one of the team. A brilliant opportunity for a very talented artist and at Finearte Urban we are proud to have on offer two superb pieces exclusive to the gallery: 'Precious Damage' and 'Precious Damage Dark'- both paintings are available at a very reasonable price. So if you fancy adding a piece of urban art to your collection, look no further and get yourself a CopyRight.
The programme aired on Wednesday 9th May on BBC One and can be watch again here: http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/tv

CopyRight's work was by a country mile the best on the show, which isn't saying much as the rest was dire, a showcase of nothing, especially "Pure Evil," it was as if Andy Warhol and Jackson Pollocks had a retarded baby, then another retarded baby, and those retarded babies had a son together who managed to get into a community art college.
ReplyDeleteThe Urban art cash-in has in roughly five years successfully out awfulled anything the YBA generation produced, thanks to the sheer, dogged, lazy, greedy, band-wagon jumping on blandness, of the artists and galleries, but mostly to the ever dependable utter lack of taste or originality one often finds in those who can afford to splash five figure sums on the work of a novelty artist.
Seanan,
ReplyDeleteIt might indeed not have been the best showcase of artworks / artists but let's face it...The Apprentice show would have inflicted more intellectual pain to the viewers by presenting works by Tracy Amin and Danien Hirst.
Copyrights works were indeed the best on the show (one might beg to differ though) and yes... he is still at the beginning of his career but will evolve surely as a great artist.
In our opinion, his work is original, well painted and pleasant to hang on a wall - this being a far cry from works by aforementioned artists Amin and Hirst (whose works are well above 5 figure sums, very often copied on other artists and not even exciting to look at - in our opinion).
As per the urban art cash-in business - we agree with you... Looking at the numbers of aficionados Mr Brainwash has worldwide!
