This is one of two paintings that have been chosen to be exhibited in the QUAY ARTS 2015 OPEN EXHIBITION may-july.
They explore the themes of CULTURAL CLEANSING and the destruction of ancient art works and antiquities. I have tried to capture pottery from an ancient era and attached broken industrial glass to the image to express how easy it is for artefacts and archeological relics to be vandalized and destroyed by political, religious or cultural intolerance.
