This rubber-block triptych highlights the abusive behaviour enabled by the myth of artistic genius. This triptych takes inspiration from the stories behind the creation of works by artists like Pablo Picasso, whose 'genius' was often used to excuse their immoral behaviour. The prints employ a range of symbolism and allusions to famous artistic geniuses to highlight the harmful reality behind many artworks.
