I like him for his thick image mastery, but generally consider him a poor artist overall.The reason is he tends to go for simple effects in order to impress and sometimes shock. So in the Cook the beautiful voice is contrasted against the horrible backdrop of rotting flesh, and on, and on... and that is his trademark. Too primitive to be worthy of a top class master.
But as an image creator he is exceptional. Except there he also knows not where to stop, so his Prospero's Book is just way too thick for its own good - the beautiful images have to be cut with the chain saw, and one can hardly make it through this visual feast - I felt like walking through a molasses-filled tunnel.
Not exactly my idea of fine art.
