Redruth on the 11th of the 11th

By Phil Whiting 1995

This oil painting marks a shift in focus for me away from Cornwall's mining heritage to Cornwall's inherited transgenerational First World War trauma. It is the first large scale painting I made for my project ‘Places of Mourning in the Western World’.
