Work by Royal Robertson (1936-1997), a self-taught artist from Louisiana who was reported to have suffered from paranoid schizophrenia, is featured as part of the exhibition. Robertson's fantastical temples of religious worship and colourful drawings combine references from comic strips and science fiction with biblical prophecies.
