Inside ‘UK’s most violent’ prisoner Charles Bronson’s plans for life after jail and how his art could fetch £1.5m
Police Flying Squad detective Peter Kirkham believes it is wrong for prisoners to be allowed to cash in on their notoriety.
He said: “His life is his life and if someone wants to pay money for some version of that, then it’s up to them. It scares me to say it, but how long before we see someone like this as the new guest onCharles' vast collection of art and writing is going on show in the Stay Sane exhibition in London next weekafter the National Victims Association objected.
Bronson’s London exhibition is a collaboration between the prisoner, Crypto Correct and the Born For Art Foundation, which will receive a third of all funds raised through the sale of the NFTs. A spokesman for the exhibition said: “Some people say the artwork shows the dark corners of a disturbed mind. But supporters say the scenes reflect the events he has witnessed and lived. It is art that has come straight from his soul.”He says: “I believe a lot of art is an expression of emotion and love, feelings and pain. If you don’t feel it then it’s not real art.“I’m going to do my art and create masterpieces until my heart stops beating.
