Dream and Lie of Putin 1 Print

Olease forgive my dreadful immodesty, but this is an important work, maybe the best I have ever done, though I would only designate myself as a political artist with a very small p. There is the LGBT action work, but it is often fairly oblique - metaphorical rather than direct, and universally applicable to include other oppressions. I bought a set of posters in 1977 in Dom Knigi on Nevsky Prospekt. It was mayhem, all my schoolfellows pointing and not speaking any Russian. I was horribly disappointed to see that the bright cartoony slogan-filled images I was after were not the ones handed to me in a cardbaord tube when I took them out back in the UK. Now I am absolutely delighted by the serendipity of the misfortune. They were already 10 years out of date when I got them, celebrating the Glorious Revolution of 1917. I have sprayed on top of them, an abstract grafitto, but one like a deliquescent target. I have been doing lots of pro-Ukraine work recently, but it is against all conflict not specifically that on the illegally annexed provinces close to Crimea. The West are complacent but should have acted earlier. Now it is just a vile mess, young, ill-equipped soldiers dying in droves. Unnecessarily. I will not sell these. I had them framed when I can barely afford the rent, to exhibit in the Cambridge Open. prints will be made available, and I might sell if a suitably inflated price were offered, but I doubt it very much.
