Happy Halloween 👻🎃😱 TERROR!!, 2005 Financial newspaper, ink oil and acrylic and spray on canvas 153 x 183 x 5 cm 60 1/2 x 72 1/2 x 2 in Elspeth and Imogen Turner Collection This painting was made in response to the illegal invasion of Iraq by the US. Atrocity propaganda and the so called War on Terror was used after 9/11 (despite Iraq having nothing to do with) to justify what resulted in an estimated 1 million Iraqi deaths of which Madeleine Albright (former Secretary of State) when asked if 500,000 children’s deaths was worth it she replied with a ‘yes’. Cartoon fear was used to mobilise the most powerful democracy into an illegal invasion to benefit war profiteers. “War is a racket”, Major General Smedley Butler 1935 #gordoncheung #MarkTurner
