CRAIG HANDLEY 

Composite 2021 

Oil on board 

35 x 40cm 

 

This is primarily a painting about PTSD and veteran mental health. It is a composite image of various modern combat soldiers placed in a field of pixelated digital camouflage. I wanted the picture to portray a sense of isolation and emotional detachment, a key requirement needed to operate in difficult and stressful situations, but one that has long term and far reaching consequences.
