Byzantium SecurityA political painting
The story behind Byzantium Security
It soon became apparent that the Byzantium security advertisement was for a TV show about spies. Regardless this is another of my political paintings which are primarily conceptual as well as realistic.
The idea of the wealthiest 1% being the only people that matter is genuinely offensive for an anarchist like me.
Note: This is the only painting I have ever signed. Look at the top right-hand corner, and you see my birth name – Mark Russell.
