Introducing Smeg

SmegSurrealist painter and graffiti artist "Smeg" is, of course, best revered for his seminal 2002 work "Where's mypipe raymond?" where a forty-three foot painting of a jar of marmite was hung from Westminster Bridge for five hours until the violent intervention of river police and a man with a dog sent it crashing into the Thames. That work, and his naked performance of "Covent Garden Sucks" in the following June on the Richard and Judy show finally cemented Smeg's position as a major force in the new british art movement.

Never one to do what is expected, he retired from public life for three years, and only now has resurfaced as bass powerhouse of Devon punks, The REOFFENDERS.

Thundering basslines replacing thrashing paintstrokes? Is this art? Well it certainly aint yeast extract.
