Life, death and piss
Here is some of the most sophisticated and deeply excessive painting around. It's by UK artist Nigel Cooke, whose highly crafted technique looks like a cross between Jake and Dinos Chapman, Leonardo da Vinci and a stoned Walt Disney. Cooke's take on life, death and modernist architecture may not be to everyone's taste, but it's extremely well done, and the artist is up there with the best. If you're the kind of person who is able to see beauty in the colour of urine or mould, and if you fancy a bit of doom in Arcadia, then this is the show for you.
