Attentive observers of the past ten years of British politics may
not have heard of Kaya Mar, but chances are they will have seen one
of his pictures - at a rally, or in an agency photograph syndicated
around the world, or via a viral tweet. His paintings in oils are
unlikely jewels of surreal satire, gleaming in the political desert
in which we find ourselves: a kaleidoscopic gallery of the clowns,
mountebanks and villains in charge, stripped of their
self-importance and thrown overboard. This selection of 100
pictures, edited and introduced by Sam Kinchin-Smith, tells several
stories at the same time: of how we got into this mess, of how we
might get out of it, and of how Mar has become one of our most
perceptive and wildly inventive political artists. It is the first
proper account of the work of a cult figure around Westminster,
promoted by the present crises to the status of national treasure:
a satirist laureate for Brexit Britain. And fortunately,
considering what doubtless lies ahead, he's only just getting
started.
