my life as a artist

he art

Sunday 28th September 2008 10:02 PM

One night last week, after an alert phone-call alert from my Mum, I watched a channel 4 programme called 'The curse of the Mona Lisa', a lamentation on the shallow commercialism of art, presented by Robert Hughes, a justifiably and splendidly grumpy old man. As an embodiment of all that is vacuous and venal in the art-world, Demon Hurts was a perfect specimen for dissection, and as I enjoyed the viscera, it occurred to me that the art of Demon Hurts is truly tawdry.

The founding saint of Ely cathedral was St. Etheldreda, popularly known as St Audrey, (with three sisters called Ethelburga, Withburga and Sexburga, (which sounds like the complete nutrition for a Sun-reader) and a dad called Anna, she was probably delighted), and the shoddiness of the cheap lace tat and goods, for sale on her feast day, became known as 'St Audrey', or 'tawdry.

I found the double parentheses in the previous paragraph quite tortuous, and this morning the Corinthians lost 8-0 to the Shoulder of Mutton, so I'm going to accept the horizontal. More soon. Night!

Jump on the Demon Hurts bandwagon! Get some of Smiley the cats' riverside rodents and put them in coffee jars in some white spirit. Could be a nice little earner.

St Audrey is also known affectionately by her middle name - Jacqui the Tacky (ref: "Saints of the English Fenlands")
PS: I hated Demon's cow too.
