Officials of Torture show at TSL in Hudson

Currently showing at Time and Space Limited in Hudson, New York: Officials of Torture. 18 portraits in oils all painted in 2015, save for the portrait of Gina Haspel. Each person depicted was in the George W. Bush administration and responsible for either legitimizing, devising, executing or covering up torture of detainees at Guantanamo or Black Sites around the world . . . in the name of the U.S. It is known that at least two deaths resulted from this torture, and those tortured were never tried or found guilty of any crime in a trial by jury. Not a one of those responsible for implementing the torture program were tried, convicted or sent to prison for their crimes. In fact, most hold (or held) prestigious positions afterwards at Universities, corporations and even the U.S. Government. This show has no end date as yet. Opening will be announced once an unrelated artwork by SK is installed in another space within the gallery.
