Post colonial bank note democracies Painting

This series is based upon African leaders whose reign lasted long enough for them to appear on a Banknote. I will state that in painting these figure heads I am not in any way appreciating their historical significance or aligning myself with their political beliefs. This series was purely looking at African leaders who appeared on banknotes. My mother has stated that she believes my politics have been influenced by these characters, and that she believes that to be a truly worrying situation, I will relate that I believed that I was recording and documenting something of historical value. I believed that XLIV were the roman numerals for the end of Nero's reign and therefore the end of the tenure of one of the first dictators the world has known. I will state that the historical value of the reigns of these African leaders should be aligned with the knowledge that they were rebuilding their cultural heritage, national pride, economies and self esteem after colonial powers had had their ways with these countries.
