Banksy.
Ooooh.....Well done....you've invented the stencil....That's SOOO edgy...

In fact.....Fuck it....All of the 'art' set.

Hirst, Emin and all the others taking millions for pumping out utter drivel that the 'art world' think is the best thing they ever saw.

It's the emperor's new clothes for the modern age with everyone too scared to say 'er...thats utter wank' lest the other critics turn on them for 'not getting it'.


Fuck them all with a big hammer.

Sorry Banksy.

I know Bristol is shit, there's no need to take it out on everyone though.

My brother is in the business of art
He tells me that Hirst is as much of a twat as you'd think. Somehow, it's satisfying to know that my impression of him was entirely correct.

I rather got the impresssion that Banksy was permanently seventeen years old.
His "subversive" messages are consistently shallow.

Unfashionably...
... I really like Hirst. I'll happily travel around the country to see his work. The joint Hirst/ Bacon show at the Gagosian a couple of years ago was stunning.

Emin, on the other hand: well, I can kind of see what she's doing, but... naaaaah. You're right about her.

Just

Find the people who did the original work before he plagiarized it and you can afford your own 'Hirst'.

Oh, come on.
1000 Years is astonishing.

You surely must understand that with the current crop of the mega rich having run out of real things to buy someone has to invent overpriced junk to advertise how fabulous they are.
