Conceptual Crap

Damien H. Arse 22nd July 2004. Acrylic on Canvas: 40x50cm

Hmm... So what do we have here? Well... on the surface it looks like an Emin-esque type artist (will the real chin shady please stand up... or is this the wicked witch of the West?) holding up, what seems to be the decapitated head of a leading Saatchi-esque art hater. I'm sure some toss monkey out there would like to buy this conceptual crap.

On closer examination however we see a smirking, twisted sad idealist presenting to the world (on a rather dishevelled worn silver platter) the severed head of her benefactor... looking rather smug with himself. Isn't this the sort of conceptual nonsense that would unite both the artists and the con-artists?

And haven't you conned us all Mr Advertiser... haven't you?

Looking closer still... we see the head of the con-artist getting bigger and bigger as the art establishment pour praises on the meaningless... and elevates the trivial.

By the way... in case you were wondering... why I didn't paint the flames in the background? Ahem, well... the supposed art lover can supply his own can of gasoline and matches... some of us have to earn a living!
