“Peace Related Violence”
Acrylic and spray enamel on canvas

My work responds to the Concept of Existence and particularly comments on the social contradiction of fighting for peace. My work is inspired by social commentary relating to the riots that occurred around the world last year. I wanted to show the blatant opposing messages that ‘Peace Related Violence’ presents. The symbolism of this piece is the contradicting idea of ‘Peace’ and ‘Violence’, I wanted to draw attention to this hypercritical view.
