'Resistance in the face of Aggression Series II

- The Cold War Nuclear Bunker'

This series continues the theme by exploring the Cold War period and the fear of nuclear armageddon through paintings of scenes from a Nuclear Bunker in Fife, Scotland which I visited in my research. 

​

The first three paintings are such that they are totally void of any human figures, who are conspicuous in their absence, which adds a tension and extra dimension to the narratives in each piece.

Final piece 'The Apparition' is taken from a nuclear bunker that has been abandoned and left to the elements and a ghostly gas-mask adorned portrait looks out from the haunting scene in a reference to the past acts of war.
