About this artwork
This picture was created in response to the growing anti patriotic feeling put out by the major news outlets. This image shows a burly man on a stepladder, about to clear an old wall of graffiti, which includes a rendition of Britannia.
The graffiti includes a gargoyle like figure, which looks on in horror, as Brittania starts to be scrubbed away.
This work is in portrait format on Bockingford 90lbs watercolour paper. I was inspired to do this work… in response to the previously mentioned feelings prevailing in the established social media and news stations.
Early 2018 was gripped by a heatwave in the south that lasted for close on 3 months.

I, Stephen Alpe, a self-taught watercolourist, started painting in watercolours back in 1986. Impressed by the artwork in ornithological books illustrated by artits such as David Reid-Henry. I strived to achieve the same level of excellence, but, where as, Reid Henry made it look like the subjects were about to fly off the page, my initial efforts looked like they had been carved out of stone!
I did, in time improve and was able to illustrate a few calendars and magazines.
On moving to the UK in 2007, I moved into painting landscapes and news items that caught my imagination. From 2012, I began to notice the works of the street artist Banksy. Other artists that I admire include Wassily Kadinski, Joan Miro and Pol Ledent.
