This is the first monograph on the influential yet elusive artist Simon English. Away from the Brit Art hype of the 1990s, English's oeurve has developed from his early paintings to a gritty and humorous treatment of desire and fantasy. Focusing on his current practice of detailed drawings that function as both installations and self-contained narratives, the book contains a range of unique reproductions creating an extraordinary visual tale. English's figures appear as a mass of tableaux: erotic, playful, confessional and complex, but as charming and often as innocent as the children's book that has preoccupied English, The Owl Who Was Afraid of the Dark, by Jill Tomlinson. English's alluring explorations of autobiography and the imaginary create lyrical structures that are discussed in the accompanying texts by Stella Santacatterina and Bill Arning, and mirrored in the design of the book. 350 colour & b/w illustrations
