"With hype being the fictitious validation of insignificance, and where commodity fetishism powerfully unifies sign and object in a new immaterial meta-hyperreality, these re-hyped couplings that riff off the iconic work of Warhol and Banksy (with a nod to Magritte’s Nothingist masterpiece The Treachery of Images) present negations that hover in stasis and take you down a merry path of discordian glee where confusion reigns, good sense and taste withers before your very eyes and all empirical balance collapses into a slew of puerile nonsense"
So who are The Not Banksy Innit Coalition? Are they real? Does it matter? Are the paintings and prints they make real? Are they authentic? Does it matter? Who is the true artist when re-imaginings of imagined appropriations enter the unchartered territories of misconstrued art historical context?
