Review:

The depressing thing about the mayfair/ west end galleries move is that basically they have given up 
on poor people(artists) and just decided to be where the money is. The boom is bust so no more 
rooting round in the gutters for truffles(art) the pigs want to feel at home in swanksville. Mayfair is 
deadly rich and dull and so is art and only the really rich will survive the fallout so lets forget the fucking 
awful eastend and go back where we came from/want to be. Fuck democracy, art is only for rich 
people. John Currins porny paintings are not so bloody amazing, just vaguely care about hair and 
bodies and clothes, and his colours are really mucky murky too much white in them and of course he 
is hailed as the most amazing painter since Manet, in fact he seems to mix his pigments with 
mayonaisse. The doorman was nice.
