Art Bollockese: Fallacies in Projecting and Promoting Modern Art

Jeff Andrews between 1999 and 2014 graduated in Law whilst working for a government agency specializing in the examination of dodgy commercial contracts. This involved wading through intellectual guff (Bollockese) in order to identify misrepresentation and fraud. In 2008 Jeff opened the Peche-Art Gallery in Kent, England, together with Deborah Peche and became the on-call curator. During this period Jeff gained firsthand experience of the changes taking place in the art-world; with contemporary art fashion being influenced by art-intellectuals using high-brow sales pitches to obtain gallery space for artists producing what can only be described as 'unskilled, simplistic or bizarre works'. From his experience examining intellectual babble, Jeff recognized Art was being engulfed in written and verbal dross to 'big-up' simple and crazy concepts. He also recognized some of these works appeared to fall outside the established definitions of 'Art' bringing him to the conclusion; the global populous are now increasingly being visually defrauded by 'Art-Bollockese'.
