Wipeout

Photo Description:

This montage painting 'Wipeout' depicts the destructive nature of mankind. The idea came from the horrific Hiroshima bombing and shows the scale of disaster and what lengths people go to in conflict. Two figures look on at the devastated landscape. When will Man's intent to destroy himself end?

MUSEUM ATTENDANCE FIGURES

The Art Newspaper has published its international survey of 2010 museum attendance figures, and our three exhibitions last year have been ranked as the second, third and fourth most visited in London, surpassed only by Van Gogh at the Royal Academy of Arts. This follows on from The Art Newspaper's 2009 ranking in which the Saatchi Gallery presented the top two most visited exhibitions in London.
