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.
