The Boys-Innocence Lost

This work is the right piece of the Triptych "The Boys-Innocence Lost”, inspired from photographs I took working with newly arrived war-refugee children, of a Swedish boy (picture left) and an Iraqi war-refugee boy (picture right) that arrived in Sweden and the difficulty of integrating in a new culture, climate. Worked in pastel and charcoal, shadowed, the earthy rawness, expressing their exploit[ive]ed nudity, acrylic background colouring juxtapose their grim "ghetto" existence. Their naked/nudity reflect vulnerability, frustration and lost innocence, an escaping armed shadow "tokoloshe" projecting both past and possible future.
