Dexter Dalwood, study for 'The trial of Milosevic', oil on canvas.
Listening to Dexter Dalwood speak about the painting 'The Trial of Milosevic' was a fascinating insite into how he prepares and thinks about creating a painting. His interest in history and political issues feed his work. He attempts to paint things which have not yet been painted, situations and issues which surround our current world. Dexter has been influenced by work such as Édouard Manet's The Execution of Maximilian, 1868-69 (image below). Also by Bellini paintings like The Assassination of St. Peter, (below).
