Continuing on the series of my oil paintings on significant events and people in modern history.
On the left, painting #13 is a semi-abstract depiction of the internet revolution that has, since the 1990s, caused a paradigm change in the world's business, economic and many other human activies, anc causing the world to change faster and faster.
Painting #14 at the centre shows the twin tower of the New York World Trade Center were in thick damaging flame before their final collapse killing thousands on the eventful morning of Sept 11, 2001. This was the result of deadly attacks on the US by the al Qaeda terorist group lead by Osama bin Laden.
On the right, painting #15 is a composite showing two events. One was a bronze statue of Saddam Hussain in Baghdad being pulled down. The other shows a gaint Buddha statues in Afghanistan before and after bombing destruction by the Taliban forces. These depict the US lead Iraq 'war' from 2003 and Afghanistan 'war' from 2001. Both 'wars' keep dragging on for so many year and the US has not been able to end.
