Hirst, Picasso, Banksy and Gauguin – this collection was originally labelled ‘Artists I Don’t Like’, but I decided that may have been misinterpreted as rather juvenile and overly subjective. Subjectivity has rarely troubled me in the past, but in the spirit of goodwill and memories of art history lessons during my school teenage years I opted for the revised title. The reasons for my dislike are manyfold, but for the sake of the curious, lets say it is the artists’ work, or their behaviour and personality, or a heady combination of both. I needed to call them out and acknowledge my disapproval in the form of four respectful portraits.
