A hand X-ray with an extra finger subtly symbolising the beauty of difference. Shok's original wall painting of this
image caused quite a stir. It then became famous when a News of the World reader drew a big silver cock on it.
The artist rendered the painting for this version using just a single spraycan and one marker pen. Yep.
Technically it's something of a tour de force - part-print, part-painting it emits a luminous glow much like
the interior light of an Old Master. Photos don't do it justice and neither will a clip frame from Ikea.
