Nicole Eisenman’s retrospective at Whitechapel is a riotous ride through her extraordinarily wide range of work – from monumental paintings and monoprints to sculptures, animations and drawings – as well the socio-political issues of the day.

Along the way you’ll find a hilarious video of snatches of art world conversation, a tangle of urinating women, and a mother giving birth while being hanged. Violent, witty, carnal, queer and packing an almighty punch, the American artist’s electrifying show keeps you transfixed at every turn.
