Selected Citations and Comments

The painting reprises the lenticular technique of Souvenir (of the Cuban Missile Crisis Oct 16–28 1962) [cat. number 3] to show, from one angle, Tony Blair and the aftermath of the 2005 Tavistock Square bombing, and, from another, George W. Bush and the bombing of Baghdad in 2003. It was displayed, to some controversy, at the National Army Museum in July 2007. It is the source image for the digital print Truth or Consequences [cat. number P72].
