COVENTRY.- The Herbert Art Gallery & Museum has acquired five powerful and thought-provoking pieces of work by artists Peter Kennard and Cat Picton-Phillips to add to their Peace and Reconciliation collection. The works represent the harrowing nature of war and conflict through combining serious and humorous images. Peter Kennard’s work has focused on responding to the social and political situation around him, producing a powerful response to conflict, armaments and injustice. His methods and approach have developed around his desire to express anger and revulsion but he is also motivated by the wish to inspire positive action and protest. The artworks acquired are Untitled Thatcher photomontage, Kent Portfolio, Award Portfolio, Photo Op and Target London Natalie Heidaripour, Project Officer for the Peace and Reconciliation Collection, said “These works are an amazing addition to our Peace and Reconciliation collection.
