"Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped." - George Orwell, 1984 This work is a response to my re-read of Orwell's prescient tome '1984'. The work details surveillance from cold war classified documents and abstract movement to illustrate the chaos among order that our everyday lives are subject to, and the hidden secrets of the state. Oil and oil pastel on canvas (50x70cm) - winner of the auction will have the option to receive the physical work.
