John's work is edgy, dark and humorous and pulls no punches. This his latest piece is a personal exploration of male violence, the anger of the white male working classes and of the rise of the Alt-Right and the anti-PC backlash currently swelling up like the fatbergs of putrid filth, under our seemingly safe suburban streets.
