Hamish Brown
Citizen
.
Water colour and acrylic pen
Citizen weaves light and movement with poetry and lyricism to bring words to life
Taken from a 2017 series, these works each accompanied a song from the album "wreck creation" by the band Spectacles, of which Hamish was the lead guitarist and additional vocalist.
A warning of times to come and a reflection on the weaponized society in which we live, Citizen is a comment on innocence lost and a quiet acceptance of the violence perpetuated by media outlets to further political agendas and keep us numb to a universal truth.
