“The humour and colour in my work has often been misunderstood,” says the artist John Walter. “In seducing the viewer with colour, decoration and play I am able to engage them in more difficult themes surrounding sexual and social behaviours and attitudes.” Which is precisely what the provocative artist is up to in his vibrantly-hued, superficially pretty new show, The Rococo Riots. It opened this week at Vitrine in Bermondsey Street and runs until 1 June.

Vitrine, first floor, 183 – 185 Bermondsey Street, SE1. The Gallery is open Wednesday – Saturday 12-6pm, and until 8pm for SLAM on the last Friday of each month

  1. the four-piece, which imploded with animosity after just two albums,
    changed the course of musical history by tapping into ecstasy-fuelled
    club dancefloors with guitar-heavy tunes (hard, now, to imagine a time
    when this would be considered as radical as it was).
