EXPECTING. Jerry Hall, 27, towering Texan supermodel, and Mick Jagger, 40, strutting, mugging lead singer of the world's most enduring rock-'n'-roll band, the Rolling Stones; their first child; in February.

A zoo of critters lurks in Alexander's paintings: snakes preying on rats, rats eyeing scrofulous cats, and so on up the food chain to leopards and a large stag, whose rack of antlers has a horrified, spiky erectness. We are shown a teeming, hostile...
