About the Exhibition/Fair
An Official War Artist for the Ministry of Defence in Iraq, 2008/2009, Pick presents paintings, films, mixed media assemblages and studies presenting recovery and humanity.
"What I really want to illustrate is peace and hope for the future."
"It's about capturing the themes and the atmosphere rather than actual events... So, what it feels like to be there."
