It should come as no surprise that the street art industry is surrounded by scandals and skullduggery .
With the current economic climate it should come as no surprise that a large amount of the “ pioneering ” galleries and gallerists that are focused on “ supporting the street art movement ” have resorted to exit scamming , a large proportion of which fled with their artist ’ s paycheques in hand .
Galleries have gone rouge , artists inventories have been reduced , metamorphosed into worthless snake oil . There is widespread presentiment of low morale that those at the top are dissociated and disengaged from . For a movement that was engrossed on creating a utopian kingdom it has ended in a total disaster just like Lord of the Flies .
