Drawing on the Frontline: Behind the Headlines
Given the tragic situation in the Occupied Palestinian Territory, 50% of profits will be donated to the UNRWA.
Imagine an artist drawing on the front line. Bombs fall nearby and people hurry away. And George Butler sits with his pot of ink and paper in one hand and pen in the other.
George’s award-winning work has taken him all over the world including Afghanistan, Myanmar, Syria and Tajikistan. He has escaped an attempted kidnapping in Mali, witnessed precision shelling just behind the lines in Iraq, recorded operations in a leprosy hospital in Nepal and drawn people trying to rebuild their lives in Mosul and survive in Serbian refugee camps.
Join Artscapes UK on 1 June for a very special story of reportage. George will describe arts ability to tap into the heart of the matter on the frontline. He will discuss how leading global newspapers respond to his work and how drawing dramatically differs from photography. Above all, George will tell a story of the power of art and how it can intimately connect him to the people who really matter on the ground.
