| Blek Le RatIf you are thinking you have missed the boat / should have purchased BANKSY when you could have done - TAKE NOTE! This is the start of the prices rising for Blek Le Rat - who is Banksy's hero (see quote below) At the IMPORTANT Auction at Bonhams 5th Feb 2008 it was assumed by many that the Banksy pictures would fly away while the other artists would struggle yet one estimated at £3-5,000- fetched over £50,000 by Nick Walker , and BLEK's made great money too. THAT is the day that Urban Art came of age. Some of Banksy's prints are selling for more than an Original by Le Rat and these are going up.

Her watercolours, oil paintings and hand-made etchings are often inspired by her childhood in Iceland. Her grandfather's hotel in Reykjavik has provided a wealth of her ideas In Icelandic tradition everyone has their own personal , private Guardian Angel. Her work has a dry humour that is timeless and all she is painting is PEOPLE BEING THEMSELVES . She has won numerous awards and commissions. Commissions include , Icelandic Government for visiting dignitaries including Mary Robinson the (past) President of Ireland . Member of The New English Art Club, the Royal Society of Painter Printmakers The Royal Watercolour Society.

Her work is so saught after I'm not allowed to advertise it as collectors in Iceland buy by signature whereas in England they buy because they like the painting. This is an artist with works in presidential collections and is collected globally. |
