Lest We Forget
A bold and irreverent composition rendered in Copley's signature naive style, *Lest We Forget* employs flat, graphic forms and a vivid palette characteristic of his playful yet subversive approach to painting. The acrylic on linen work reflects Copley's enduring fascination with popular culture, desire, and the absurdities of the human condition, filtered through a cartoonish visual language that deliberately challenges the boundaries of fine art. With wit and irony embedded in every brushstroke, the piece stands as a testament to Copley's unique position as both an insider and provocateur within the twentieth-century art world.
