Bad News
Painting
There are two meanings to the title Bad News; the horror of apocalyptic and tragic events which unfold daily, and the way they are manipulated or unreported by mainstream media outlets. I used the abstract form in my body of work to direct my frustration, anger and sadness arising from my awareness of corruption in government and media, tragedies relating to global warming and general systemic inequality. My anger and disappointment at the corruption and manipulation of truth by the media and the negative global influence of its propaganda compelled me to paint this work.
