With the emphasis on the motives of mass migration, being put on economics, I thought it relevant to draw attention to the more likely reasons that half the population of Syria have fled their home’s.
It seems more than a coincidence, that since a cival war has broken out and areas of the country has been taken over by brutal fanatics, that people have suddenly decided to leave their homes, families, friends and all they’ve probably ever known.
Ive decided to make several paintings that depict the almost incomprehensible violence that the people of Syria have suddenly been exposed.
