Bloody love these prints by American Artist and Activist, Steve Lambert, which I found over at 20×200.com.
What I love even more is the way Steve describes his art, and how he feels about us owning a piece of, what is essentially, him.
“I never liked the idea that someone could just buy my work. So I came up with this. This feels more like a real transaction. Yes, you get to own something I made, but you also accept some responsibility. Put this on your wall and you have to be more honest as a result. It’s simple ink on paper, but wherever it hangs, there’re social implications.”
Simple, amusing, affordable conversation starters. My kind of artwork.
What do you think? Love or hate? Would you hang these, and if you did, what would your Mum say when she comes round for tea?
Do you care?
I’d love to hear your thoughts in the comment box down there ↓.
Thanks to India Knight, whose blog originally led me to these, and also to @20×200 for having lots of pretty things to please my eyes.
