Would I Lie To You: The Art of Politics and PROPAGANDA


Propaganda is being delivered so effectively by governments worldwide as well as by the rich and powerful that their goal for the attainment of even more wealth and position seems all but destined while responsible and accountable behaviour appears immaterial. In response to the mass confusion created by those in power through media channels, and consequently to the helplessness we often feel due to excessive and conflicting information, I exhibited a series of augmented reality oil paintings of world leaders and two media 'influencers' created from rubbish found on the streets of Edinburgh. Each artwork can be scanned with my CreativMuse app to trigger the AR experience portraying a very different narrative to that which the ‘sitters’ perpetuate.

This series of works were purchased by a patron who has agreed to loan them out to galleries and museums for public viewing. If you're interested in showing these paintings please contact me.
