This painting is a finalist in this 2016 Gallipoli Art Prize and is now part of the Hornsby RSL Sub Branch collection. This is a painting based on photos I took during the 2015 Anzac Day march at Martin Place in Sydney.
Even though the events at Gallipoli happened over a hundred years ago, we should never forget. I think Anzac Day is a day for reflection not celebration and is about sacrifice not glory. My artwork is symbolic of all those directly affected by war; those who served and fought, those who tended the wounded and those who were left to grieve. It is also about sharing the spirit and knowledge through the generations and hopefully leading to a unity and understanding.
