Buy direct from the artist and leave yourself either delighted or scratching your head in confusion. About washbelly: In Jamaican patois, a washbelly is the last child out of a woman. Made from the leftovers, the scraps, the residue, the least material, literally the wash of the belly. This artist submits to that description. To use the term as a name for his artistic endeavours is an appropriation, and a cultural one at that. Perhaps not the most politically correct thing to do in the 21st century, but as the hangman said on the scaffold to the murderer John Christie who was complaining of an itchy nose — ‘don’t worry, it won’t bother you for long!’ This artist is only an artist in the sense that Banksy, Damien Hirst and Jeff Koons are all artists – you will appreciate that joke perhaps. Washbelly is perhaps an anti-fascist, anti-racist, anti-theist, anti-natalist, free thinking libertarian, a contrarian, a revolutionary anarchist, ill-tempered, gender-critical, politically homeless, misanthropic, ancient and crusty pale-face, and then again maybe none of these things!
