I often get the impression when I visit modern galleries that the artists are simply into shock and awe. I know it might sound a touch cynical but often I read some displays as if the artists are saying I dared to call this art, I managed dupe the public purse to secure a grant and conned a gallery to hang it. I've seen some truly utter crap on gallery walls over the years. I'm not dumping on Shel here but just because something made it to a gallery doesn't necessarily mean that it's going to be nourishing or meaningful to anyone but the artist.
