"jon campbell has been a prime mover in the well trodden road of do-it-yourself and rock'n'roll values in contemporary art. he was one of the earliest artists to advocate that an artist might make their own fame by emulating rock'n'roll gestures in contemporary art. he has created work that in style and content was modelled on the simplicity of the 3 chord song."
