COOP at full throttle.
Devil’s Advocate is a gloriously lurid blast of lowbrow art: a souped-up collision of hot rods, tattoo culture, rock ’n’ roll, pulp fantasy and wickedly exaggerated Americana.
Across these pages, chrome gleams, engines roar and voluptuous sirens share space with devils, monsters and all manner of wonderfully bad influences. The artwork is slick, graphic and eye-popping, with COOP’s unmistakable black humour running underneath it all.
There’s a brilliant tension to the work – part 1950s hot-rod fantasy, part 1990s underground culture, all polished up into something bold, sexy and completely shameless.
Heavy, lavishly illustrated and impossible to make look respectable, this is the kind of art book that demands to be left out on the coffee table.
