In my ongoing Nursery Games series I comment on the dark sides of our time - such as war, disease, abuse, climate catastrofy, some political issues etc. - all unpleasant, maybe hurting subjects. I call them "pain-paintings". Staged as children`s play in the nursery, they are expected not to please the eye, but perhaps evoke a thought or two
