Jesuit missionary work gone horribly wrong

Wandering souls

This room drove its owner insane

Depressed, not depressing

Planting the seed

90s and neon...so on trend

Don't turn the thermostat up too high

Get your hand out of your pants, Sollie!

Censorship makes us crabby

Gives new meaning to "eating out"

No one knows just how deep it goes

Making the most of fire and brimstone

Only men can see this one

As close to hurtling through space as most of us will get

Walk on their faces

Experience infinity in one minute

The sweetest of portraits

Revolution!

Here we goooo

Unmade, smelly and dirty.

Classic Hirst

What lucky intern got to assemble these?

Calling all cynical pessimists!

Finally, a female gaze

Claustrophobics beware

"I like that queasy feeling"

Someone wasn’t paying attention in Sunday School

Monument to a bromance

Not even a little bit

Singin’ in a ring

Epileptics beware

Pretty sure they are laughing at you, not with you

A victim of the urban housing crisis

Too school for cool

Could be an ad for a Life Alert commercial

Shia LeBeouf, is that you?

But especially vices

Netflix and chill...with Buddha

One depressing miscommunication

A walk on the beach

Fancy birthday presents

A sedimental work for a sentimental guy

Marching to the beat of her own drum

A stoner's dream

A techy tower

He barely tried

What do Henri Matisse and Ellen DeGeneres have in common?

The artworld goes to seed

201 spheres in a big circus tent
