LEST WE FORGET
The 11th of November 2018 marks the 100th anniversary of Armistice Day and the end of hostilities on the Western Front in World War I. After the war the red poppy became a recognisable symbol of remembrance following the publication of the poem In 'Flanders Fields'. James Guppy's evocative painting of a single red poppy against a dark background is a silent tribute to the 62,000 Australians who fought and died in the Great War.

James Guppy at Tweed Regional Gallery



James Guppy will present a solo exhibition titled In Flagrante Delicto at Tweed Regional Art Gallery.

The body work reflects Guppy’s outlook on the business of the world and those involved in the key decisions made on behalf of the people. Pondering our choice to look to these leaders as models of ethical behaviour, Guppy questions the actions of these people and the systems by which they gain their power.

Having gained an Honours degree in Economics forty years ago, Guppy’s critical lens on such issues sees him aim to highlight the often reprehensible behaviour of those in positions of power. The latin title In Flagrante Delicto is a term used to indicate somebody being caught committing a criminal act. Pairing this critique of contemporary capitalism with pre-modernist notions of beauty the artist has created a visual language for the viewer unravel and consider their own thoughts on such issues.
