Neil King is mistaken, there is no painting of Soft Cell in the Wayne Rooney show. The painting on the far left is of the painter Humphrey Ocean standing next to the singer Ian Dury. They are standing by the Oval tube station where Dury lived in the 70's, on the wall someone has used a spray can to write the first 6 words of Dury's song "Blockheads". Maybe Liam's video is in rather poor taste, taste is the enemy of art, shouldn't you be more shocked by what's going on in Iraq than someone who makes a video about it? I thought the show had it's moments. The sculptures were not "foundation level" they were good.
