Description

A comprehensive collection of drawings by artist Jill Gibbon. Selected from a ten year period, they document the corrupting culture of the world's largest arms trade shows. This extraordinary artist bravely works undercover with a false identity, to expose the thin veil of 'respectability' over this brutal inhumane trade. Depicting lethal weaponry alongside corporate entertainment including a fashion show, string quartet and champagne, the drawings show how arms deals are given a polite veneer.
