What They Don’t Tell Us

from £800.00

This painting shows an emu with its head painted out and its large feet clearly shown. The top third of the canvas is covered in black, similar to a censored document. The missing head refers to the idea of “burying your head in the sand,” but the work points to how politicians and the media avoid telling the truth. It suggests a refusal to see or speak about what is really happening.
