Art Barry Reigate: Happiness

Barry Reigate's knack for creating downright bizarre artwork is on full display in his first major London solo show. At Bethnal Green's Paradise Row, Reigate turns his back on fine-art traditions with a flourish, presenting drawings of Bugs Bunny and Jessica Rabbit wreaking chaos across the page, and paintings that depict gaping clown grins amid daubs of electric-coloured paint; elsewhere, however, his childlike rainbow compositions hint at something more contemplative than these visions proclaim. Intriguingly hovering between a fairground fantasy world and a nightmarish encounter with the weird and warped, Happiness confirms Reigate's commitment to all things irreverent.
