WAR: What is it Good For? Anthony Davies

This exhibition by printmaker, Anthony Davies is part of a series on the war in Ukraine.

Anthony Davies is a master printmaker who has spent time looking at the progression of the Ukraine war. His artwork, using a selection of images from the Internet, presents these events from his own viewpoint. Davies says he felt compelled to undertake this series. He speaks of a sense of injustice as he watches people turned into refugees; “the devastation of ordinary people”.

Ukraine and Russia are countries that border each other in Eastern Europe. On 24 February 2022, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine which continues to this day.

Anthony Davies dedicates these works “to the peoples of the Ukraine in their fight for existence and freedom against a tyrannical and oppressive foe – Russia”.
