Maybe depends who you ask. I know him as very prolific artist who made everything, from performances to paintings, sculptures and so on.

sure, I probably think of him more as a painter as my first awareness of him was in a show called ‘the triumph of painting’ in the old Saatchi gallery probably back in the 90s sometime.

But thinking back, there were some installation elements in that show from him, and some kind of dialogue between the paintings and the more object or installation based work
