Pete Doherty Blood Paintings @ Bankrobber Gallery

Pete Doherty is like Marmite, it's a love/hate thing. Take his latest creative offering - 14 blood splattered pictures, on show at the Bankrobber Gallery. His penchant for spraying blood over his walls and MTV cameras is well-documented. For most of us the idea is off-putting but fans can snap up a signed print for £2,500. Some will say his bloody creations are soul baring, using the very thing that keeps us alive to show us his true self. Others that it's disgusting and most unhygenic. Either way, it will make the headlines. And perhaps that's the point. Just like the shock tactics of the Sensationalist exhibition back in the 1990s, it seems Kate Moss' boyfriend has succeeded in making us look at his art. Meanwhile, the debate continues over whether he actually has any talent.
