This is entitled 'Vous etes Charlie, sans le billet d'or: The grass is greener on...just another brick in the...' and is one off artwork part of a collection of original, one off Monoprints Sketches on A4 Paper. This has been inspired by the previous works 'The boy in the striped pyjamas' and 'Just another brick in the wall'. This has been inspired by the conflict in Syria, in which refugee's are escaping Syria to head seek a better life in Europe. This image is inspired by the Boy washed up onto the Beach in Greece, and also refugee's landing at the UK Military Base in Cyprus, and are being turned away, and refused to claim asylum in the UK, represented by the stack of Computer Screens (Apple Computer, iPad etc.) forming a Wall like Berlin Wall. Also inspired by the film 'The boy in the striped Pyjamas' and 'Charlie and Chocolate Factory'. Life's a Lottery, you don't know if your born in Syria or Europe or elsewhere, and maybe Lucky enough to get a Lottery ticket to escape, and have new life like Steve Jobs (Syrian & founder of Apple Computers) similarly like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory! This is to draw attention to the conflict, and the suffering of the refugee's and the deny of the UK Government to increase their share of Asylum seekers, unlike Germany, which was accepting refugee's with Open Arms! Also is inspired by Banksy work of art at Refugee Camp at Calais, France, which depicts Steve Jobs (one of founders of Apple Computers) who's parent was Syrian, carrying an Apple Computer painted on the Wall (see last image). Within this piece, I have drawn upon this an created a Stack of Computers, mounted one on top of another, to create a physical wall, just like Berlin Wall, Germany. This contains, images of VDU (visual display units), Floppy Disks (representing eyes looking from the other side) and keyboard (5 horizontal lines indicating mouth). This has been inspired by the conflict in Syria, in which refugee's are escaping Syria to head seek a better life in Europe. Life's a Lottery, you don't know if your born in Syria or Europe or elsewhere, and maybe Lucky enough to get a Lottery ticket to escape, and have new life like Steve Jobs (Syrian & founder of Apple Computers) similarly like Charlie in the Chocolate Factory!

UK-based Vinci Art is a Conceptual Artist and Post Pop Artist best known for his abstract use of repetitive vertical, horizontal and diagonal lines superimposed with four-letter words forming a playable word search “The idea or concept [Conceptual Art] is the most important aspect of the work, and I use any medium [painting, digital, printmaking or sculpture] to convey the idea to the piece of Fine Art” The Artist is interested in the interaction between opposites, yin & yang, war & peace, love & hate, rich & poor, and life & death. The Artist juxtaposes these contrasts with the innocent of Toys and Games used in our youth. His most recent body of work Style Series is influenced by De Stijl after Piet Mondrian [1872-1944]. De Stijl is Dutch for "The Style", also known as Neoplasticism was a Dutch art movement. De Stijl advocated pure abstraction and universality by a reduction to the essentials of form and colour; they simplified visual compositions to vertical and horizontal, using only black, white, and primary colours. His previous body of work includes the "Berry Series" influenced by textiles and cloth of “Plaid” or tartan one of the most widely used patterns in history. The work used a combination of vertical stripes and horizontal stripes with transparency to the underlayer. The stripes follow a sequence or order from dark to light, known as Conceptual Art The previous body of work includes "Flags of the World" which communicates with viewers through linguistics, semiotics, and cryptography. The series includes English, French, Italian, Spanish, German, and American Flags superimposed with four-letter words of their respective language forming a playable word search from A to Z. His previous works include, "Retro Celebrity Stars", which is a homage to celebrities of our past from the films of the Hollywood Golden Era, to the present day. Every one of these individuals helped create the world we live in today, and though we know their names, their actual images might be fading from our memory. "Disasters of War", is a homage to Heroes and Villains from World War I & II, by the use of humorous and tongue-in-cheek language to explore the more serious issues of the past to the present day. Heroes and Villains are portrayed in life, death, and immortality by the use of toys of our innocent youth. The toys are used as a satirical look at the “Disasters of Wars” revealing shock and truths of war and violence in a playful way.
