n this explosive episode of Modern Art is Rubbish, we dive into the unfolding controversy surrounding street artist Ben Eine, who’s been accused of vandalising murals, silencing fellow artists, and erasing voices—literally.

Artists Sprite and Snub claim Eine retaliated after they spoke out against his past—specifically, his 2018 assault conviction. In a bold act of protest, one of Sprite’s murals has been transformed into a powerful statement reading: “BEN EINE HITS WOMEN.”
We unpack the allegations, the art world’s response, and the ethics of using art to challenge abuse of power.

In the second half, we explore Picasso’s Weeping Woman (1937)—a masterpiece of sorrow, but also a portrait shrouded in questions of emotional control, artistic dominance, and who really owns the story in a painting.

Power. Protest. Paint. This is modern art with teeth.
