Desensitized to the State of the War
1180mm W x 870mm H
Spray paint stencil on reclaimed tin roof panel.
"Desensitized to the State of War" exemplifies the artist's skillful fusion of technique and concept, as they ingeniously repurpose an old tin roof section from the family farm in Northland, salvaged from an old farm food safe. This transformation yields a haunting reflection on the profound impact of war on innocent lives. Employing meticulous stencil technique, the artwork portrays children within a war-ravaged environment, their visages bearing a poignant sense of detachment and desensitization. The juxtaposition between the weathered tin and the vibrant imagery generates a striking contrast, emphasizing the enduring scars inflicted upon society. This evocative masterpiece compels viewers to confront the far-reaching consequences of conflict and to question society's desensitization to its inherent brutality.
