The titles themselves, drawn from newspapers, the radio, crossword puzzles & other equally unexpected sources, confront the spectator with conundrums that deepen the sense of uncertainty. In this, the first in-depth study of the artist's work, James Hamilton examines the eclectic influences & complex iconography that have shaped these critically acclaimed paintings, & identifies the alchemical wit & spontaneity that Mc Laughlin brings to bear on the seemingly mundane in modern life. ...
