‘‘Between the farcical and the ridiculous sits Shart Artfunkle.
They have been called a 2-bob Banksy, the destitute man’s Basquiat and Salva Don't Dali,
constantly striving for originality and meaning yet always falling short.
Think less Neil Buchanan and more Neil Morrissey.
With work that screams “Does anybody like me yet?” and with metaphor more heavy-handed than a Reform council's budget cuts,
Shart Artfunkle not only makes us ask ‘What is art?’, but also… Why?
A mysterious figure, shrouded in secrecy, it is my hope that this is a success, as, if not, I have no other way to recoup my losses and will be forced to break both their legs.
So, please enjoy this show, buy something, and please think of their loved ones.’’
