Jamie Hewlett (Gorillaz) one off signed print - Portrait 1.5m x 2.2m Printed on DTEC 170gsm photo satin paper Mount and Satin laminate onto 3mm dibond.
Jamie accompanied international development agency Oxfam to Char Atra in Bangladesh, which was struck by Cyclone Aila, in late 2009... On the trip, Jamie met people trying to raise their homes above the higher flood levels, parents who had lost children to the floods and children who swim half a mile to school with their books on their heads... Jamie Hewlett said: “This exhibition shows how climate change is already affecting people around the world but also how we can all do something now to stop this from getting completely out of control.
“Char Atra is such an idyllic place and it’s horrific to think of it being simply washed away, devastating the community. I wanted my paintings to be optimistic as well as realistic and I wanted to show what a beautiful place it is. I hope by concentrating on the people and their every day lives that I have given people here in Britain something they can relate to.”
