Paul Seawright is best known for his photographic works that deal with contemporary conflict. The screenprints made during his residency in Belfast Print Workshop are inspired by satellite photographs. These photographs lay at the heart of the coalitions Weapons of Mass Destruction dossier, presented to the United Nations as evidence ahead of the 2003 invasion of Iraq. Seawrights prints further abstract these ‘precise’ aerial photographs, acknowledging that photography is a slippery medium, suggestive of fact but grounded in fiction........................................................................
Interesting to see what different artists do with Print..
