Boris's peers on Boris the politician:

"He is smart, but he has the attention span of a gnat." ​​ "If he was not expected to run anything, it could work."

Propaganda is being delivered so effectively by governments worldwide that their goal for the attainment of even more wealth and position seems assured while responsible and accountable behaviour appears immaterial.

In response to the mass confusion created by those in power through media channels, and consequently to the helplessness we often feel due to excessive and conflicting information, I've created a series of ten augmented reality oil paintings of world leaders and media 'influencers' from rubbish found on the streets of Edinburgh.

The 2016 exhibition ran from November 3rd - 14th and coincided with the US presidential election.

Note: This auction is for ownership of the NFT artwork and not the physical painting, which sold in the 2016 exhibition ‘Would I Lie To You: The Art of Politics and Propaganda’.
