Requiem for the Emblem of Power by British artist Paul Wager will commemorate the centenary of the end of the First World War through a series of high-impact, constructivist paintings and sculptures.

“In this centenary year of the end of WW1, it is highly appropriate to commemorate this event,” says Wager. “Throughout this period political and core religious faith values were disregarded, and amidst the carnage, it would appear nothing from a moral stand during the war was achieved.

“My forthcoming exhibition at Dadiani Fine Art is a Requiem for the Emblem of Power and War. The paintings and sculptures included in this exhibition are, not fully comprehensible but have a profound and unique distinction.”
