LOVELORN artist Jasper Joffe is selling all his worldly possessions in an attempt to win back his lady love.
Heartbroken Jasper, whose controversial work has been bought by Charles Saatchi, is selling off all his belongings at East London’s Idea Generation gallery later this month.
The 33-year-old painter was dumped by girlfriend Rose at Christmas after five years together.
So he now wants to start again from scratch to try and win her back.

The only possessions Joffe is keeping are the clothes on his back and his glasses. Everything else must go—including childhood teddy bears, a collection of paintings and drawings, books, keepsakes and even his bed.
