Title: Syrian Scarecrow I
Size: 53cm x 53cm
Medium: Oil on Paper

Additional Information
Syrian Scarecrows – “In 2016 I started a series of war images on the Syrian conflict. The vandalism from IS’s barbaric destruction of places such as Aleppo and Pymaric which are World Heritage Sites made me furious at all this wanton destruction. Any standing effigy, to them in their warped ideology, seemed against their religious history, going way back to the dark days (it seems). Even a scarecrow was against their beliefs!” Joe Urie 2019
