I decided to recreate a photo of a museum guard looking entirely unimpressed following that unforgettable soup-ambush on Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘Sunflowers’.

Here you see the protesters who threw soup on Vincent Van Gogh’s Sunflowers painting, in a bid to direct attention to the climate crisis and appeal to the British government to stop licensing new oil and gas projects, “Just Stop Oil”. Their rationale for the protest was to make the point that we the public will not be able to enjoy such beautiful art if serious action is not taken to curb the climate crisis. To the right, you see a member of the museum staff, who is an older man unimpressed with the youths who are taking a stand and disrupting matters in the museum. It nods to both the generational difference by and large between the young and old when it comes to opinions on the climate crisis, and reinforces the point that art will not be able to enrich life if life ceases to exist.
