I'm very sorry to report that the artist David Dees has
passed away. David created countless satirical tableaux about all kinds of
conspiratorial subjects. His work was hard-hitting and shocking. Sometimes it
was upsetting, sometimes it was funny; but ultimately it was inspiring and
educating. I've collected a few of my favourites above, the best but also the most
topical. RIP David. If you want to leave a supportive message there is a
memorial page here: https://www.dignitymemorial.com/obituaries/medford-or/david-dees-9206135.
I had not seen Dees's dystopian art before now, which is remiss because it has a deprogramming affect. Perhaps he died when life began imitating his art? RIP.
ReplyDeleteIt does definitely imitate his art, Laurence. He provided a positive way to freedom through his darkly humourous Thoughtcrime. He has thousands of images which will remain now he has gone. Hope you enjoy them.
ReplyDeleteWell said Ben.
