Gerald Laing
Gerald Laing is recognised as one of the foremost pop art painters of his time. Here he will be showing some of his rarely seen War Paintings.
" It grieves me to see that the daughters and grand daughters of some of my Starlets have joined the US Army and served at Abu Ghraib, that the descendants of my Navy Pilot bomb defenceless cities from 35,000 feet, that the myth of the American Dream is being imposed by force as a new imperialism, and that the great adventure in space is reduced to numerous, mostly warlike, surveillance satellites.
I have painted them again, in their new roles."
Gerald Laing, 2006.
