Tzar Poohtin's Throne

The painting is on 3 life sized shaped aluminium panels, with a toilet chain, toggle and string. The chain, which swings, adds extra reality to the picture. But, fortunately, Poohtin’s pubic hairs on the toilet rim are not real but painted. The painting is signed by its manufacturer. War is fought by soldiers but the commander gives the orders to murder and destroy from the comfort of his Throne. The painting is a social comment about Putin; the deluded mass murderer, pathetically identifying himself with Peter The Great at the cost of tens of thousands of lives.
