Libery Leading The People for a new generation!

'libery leading the people' was definetly the inspiration behind my current work which was my intention. there are obvious connections between my painting and these photos. the layout of the photos (triangle format) and a central figure representing an analogy reference 'Liberty'. like i did previously in 'liberty' i decided to include myself in the picture again to emphasise how stongly i feel about the topics represented in the photos. i then asked a friend to stand the other side holding an umbrella to show another view. the umbrella is there to represent a shelter due to a fear of being exposed to a new way of thinking. that is why the final photo is the series is dreams and held by a young girl who represents the next generation.

Im currently working on a piece of work which im very excited about. when i painted Liberty Leading the people it was my attempt to reflect the events of the time and thats the case once again with this project as i am trying in a similar way to make a statement based on my observations and personal feelings towards those subjects displayed within the photographs.
