With Robbie's exhibition now on show at Moco Museum in London, we ask: is our Rob actually any good at art, or is it all a bit self-indulgent? Fliss Grant investigates…
So interesting to see how this has been received. Posh people make vapid self indulgent art all of the time and it’s not called out and derided in the same way this is. Don't get me wrong, I don’t disagree with the sentiment about Robbie’s work. He’s a shameless chancer and he knows it. But it seems to be is that what he’s guilty of is not having the intellectual ability or willingness to dress this up as anything other than a bit of self indulgent bullshit.
