Darren Coffield is an artist and writer who feels the art world has become so commercialised that it now exists only to serve the collector, the speculator and the market.

In this episode of Meet the Renegades, Darren lifts the lid on how contemporary artists actually become famous and how ‘the market’ has created the art ‘industry.’

He explains that authenticity and originality have been stifled and extreme gentrification has pushed many artists to survive on margin of society.
