Denning original - Palestine charity auction, by jimbob68 on Jan 15, 2009 20:48:29 GMT 1, I do like it but I would have expected something of the subject matter itself. It isn't like Denning hasn't tackled war before is it? Very simliar to the work at the London art fair.

Denning original - Palestine charity auction, by Guy Denning on Jan 16, 2009 15:20:13 GMT 1, I have dealt with the subject before and I will be doing so again, however I thought that it would be easier to sell (and therefore hopefully make more money for The Welfare Association) if it was not overtly of the issue itself.
A lot of people, even if they supported the charity, might be a little reticent to hang a painting of bodies in their homes. Similarly I was concerned that if I took a subject of a Gaza resident fighting back it reinforces the media stereotype of Palestinian life and the charity might not be supportive.
I am working on an idea that combines the everyday Palestinian resistance and struggle with one aspect of the economic blockade. As an asides it makes visual reference to a BANKSY piece too. But you will have to wait for that one!
Thanks for all the bids up to now.
