When The World Went To War - by Thomas Dowdeswell (USA)
Oil on canvas, 124 cm x 118 cm, 2016.
Thomas : "This painting was created against the backdrop of the horrors of the conflict in Syria with the daily reports of bombing, murder, genocide and displacement.
The ghouls and ghosts, snakes and skeletons suggest something sinister and unworldly, perhaps even mythical to how it must feel to get caught up in such a conflict. I don't know.
There are further references to immigrants, soldiers, the seven deadly sins, Nazism, the Second World War, the dangers of gluttony and the quest for riches, narcissism and an environment which will not forgive."
