Guerrillas in the Mist Painting

Initially inspired by the Arab Spring and later drawing from the wider phenomenon of revolution throughout history, this painting and the series of work that it belongs to is titled 'Guerrillas in the Mist'. The series of work was released in April 2013 and consisted of six large paintings and six smaller studies. Three of the larger paintings focus on the exterior conflict, the aggression and the chaos. The remaining three dig a little deeper, exploring the interior conflicts within the uprising. What motivates revolutionaries, what binds them and what divides them? Can these revolutionaries keep their ideals when they find themselves at the helm of a dissatisfied nation? With what will they replace the statues they tore down? Will the outcome justify the bloodshed? Is a society able to absorb sudden radical change, and if not, will civil war be the result? What role does art play in times of political and social upheaval, and is art used as a platform for awareness or does it have a more sinister role? A lot of question marks there (and more to be expected), but don’t expect any answers! The full body of work can be viewed here: http://issuu.com/fintan_switzer/docs/guerrillasinthemist
