Description
A painting of a vase of red flowers in front of a television with a white border is overlaid on multi-coloured daubs of paint on a board. This is then secured with bent nails to a hessian covered board and framed with a wooden frame painted cream. The work is a protest at the art viewing public's pre-occupation with Art and Art History in the face of world crisis.
