Censored

The Bournemouth Arts by the Sea exhibition usually passes without much controversy.
 
This year, an installation called WINDBREAK by artist Cold War Steve has created a little storm.
 
The following information comes from the artsbythesea website.
 
"Birmingham-based artist, Cold War Steve’s satirical collages have made him a cult phenomenon, particularly on social media, but he is also highly regarded in the art world being celebrated as the ‘Brexit Bruegel’ and ‘a modern-day Hogarth’. His work can be challenging, provocative and provoke mixed reactions in viewers – and the Bournemouth artwork is already causing debate.
 
Originally featuring a Bournemouth beach scene on one side, including notable good people, hopeful themes and a giant 'welcome' mat facing the sea, the piece also had a dark side featuring all your favourite villains in a dystopian nightmare complete with evil sand worms and Nazis. The dark side has now been covered for the duration of the Bournemouth leg of the tour because of its potential to cause offence."
The covered panels are obviously the black (dark) side of the art work, while I have tried to show the three other panels as a panorama.
 

The detail may not be there so I suggest you look at Cold War Steve's own website 


His Wikipedia entry is also of interest.


I am very disappointed by the censorship by the local Civil Serpents
