Book excerpt: Raqib Shaw?s opulent and brightly coloured paintings suggest a fantastical world full of intricate detail, rich colour, and jewel-like surfaces, all masking the intense violent, religious and sexual nature of its imagery. There is a sense of anxiety in the paintings, which are influenced by Bosch's Garden of Earthly Delights. In this exhibition he also made a large-scale model of a giant lobster-type creature devouring a man with a bird-head.
