Bo Lanyon

Lanyon's work explores our relationships with conflict. The work exists across painting, sculpture, publication and public intervention in a blend of history and near future. It seeks to articulate human responses to a range of conflict, from intimate trauma to global events.
Recent work has closely explored concepts of shelter and individual protection from armed conflict and historical unearthings of the actions and motivations of conscientious objectors.
