World Leaders, Diplomats and Experts

Dr No This painting grew from a feeling of futility after the Kyoto Protocol failed to be ratified. As it was bound for display in a hospital, I felt that “Dr No” had some negative connotations which had to have a positive spin put on them for the hospital audience. I tried to show a healing force coming through. “Dr No” signifies macho gun-toting mankind. Is it possible to promote a change in the minds of the acquisitive and violent? Unchecked emotions running out of control pose less of a threat without weapons . Gaining consensus on environmental issues is a problem. The men strive to find balance as the robot care-taker of the Earth is rebuked by its finite resources and Guan Yin, the Goddess of Compassion, invokes healing amethysts. If local communities collaborate for long term gain, we can thrive. The colour green is an anomaly. Either way we are stuck with it: green signifies Nature’s supremacy or green signifies irradiation. The nuclear low carbon answer to generating power relies upon us controlling our emotions and scrupulous planning. Art and health and the health of our world society is all mixed up.
