This artwork will be exclusively avaliable to purchase at Affordable Art Fair Melbourne (29th August- 1st September). This is one of my latest political paintings. I’ve been paying more attention to the misdeeds of the medical industry since the start of the opiate epidemic in the U.S.A.. Like most of my political work it doesn’t focus on a specific policy/event/scandal. It rather focuses on an action that we all rightly condemn then it is up to the viewer to project their interpretation onto specific’s there after. In ‘Troubled Roads Ahead’ it focuses on the medical industry placing profits first (like the Sackler family did in the U.S.) and being perfectly fine with the consequences that comes with that approach. In this instance they knew they were the bad guys in this scenario, but I worry about the medical professionals that were hoodwinked by their deceptive ways and have to go on living with themselves knowing they harmed the very people they swore to protect.
