Me neither but she´s an old hag who is apparently an artist. I watched half of an interview with her on the BBC´s “Hard Talk” program although no tough questions were actually asked by the sycophantic interviewer, Stephen Thacker. Hambling is in her mid-70s but dresses like a dyke punk from the 1970s in black leather, has a Medusa hairstyle and is a chainsmoker. Only Whoopy Goldberg´s arsehole could be uglier or more off putting than her grim visage.
Thacker´s “hard” questions were about her father – a “bisexual silent behind the Daily Telegraph”, the ”environment” – paintings of unhappy animals – and the “dead” – she painted her parents in their coffin.
Her works include a statue of two well-known pillow biters, Oscar Wilde in London and a tribute to Benjamin Britten in Aldeburgh (which, to be fair to the old harridan is not bad) called “Scallops”. Alas the people who actually live in Aldeburgh hated it and hundreds of them signed a petition calling for it to be removed while those more actively opposed have vandalized it.
She also painted a portrait of that well-know philanthropist and lover of children, Michael Jackson but refused to paint Mrs. Thatcher. What a surprise. I wonder what Maggie would have thought of Maggi.
