The idea of The Irrational Portrait Gallery is a personal version of the canon of influential personalities that you'd normally see in a gallery. IPG displays a smaller vision of the world, both more mundane and yet more beautiful than reality - or at least a reality scratched onto paper and canvas by a 40-something caffeine addict.
A fictional art critic writes: "In a way these are personal interpretations of medieval icons, except with 70s/80s footballers replacing Jesus, Mary, God, the saints and all them religious lads."
