Comments

1. Velvet Oracle: he was young and talented but to me his work seemed like a lot of hype
2. Luna: Lucien Smith was a talent to be reckoned with, but so much of his work felt like affectation
3. Vanta Comet: his work was fascinating, but sometimes feels forgotten in the hype around younger artists now
4. Talia: never understood the fuss over some dude wearing a wig in an empty warehouse
5. Luna: this lucien smith guy was always a little too on brand for me
6. Liam: pays to know someone in the art world i guess, but 37 is way too young
7. Ashen Signal: I never got on board with the hype around him but he was certainly one of a kind
8. Wraith Ronin: really didn't expect that level of enthusiasm for his work yet
9. Mia: can someone explain to me how someone who seemed so connected to his art is lost again?
10. Novasato: i've seen some rough shows at chelsea galleries but this is something else whole different level
11. Petrovfreya: what's shocking is that people are still pretending this isn't just another casualty of getting too big, too fast 👮
