Portraits of War
Maggie Burjorjee – 2007
An exhibition of paintings, the work seeks to represent the anguish of war torn peoples.
Attempting universality, Portraits of War is a general comment on the metahistory of eternal conflict, specific to the effects pf war within species: those who suffer and are sacrificed when balance is displaced by a warring civilization. Portraits of War is presented as a work-in-progress, and was programmed according to conceptual connections to Tobey Anderson’s work (Modern Fuel Gallery) and to the theme ‘foreign states’.
