'The exhibition features 23 British figurative artists, who cast their gaze over our social, cultural, religious and political icons, through their 21st century looking glasses. Some are icons themselves and others are arguably creators of future iconic imagery. They cut through the bombardment of visuals, noise and information of our modern world and pick out the symbols, people and ideas that represent our thoughts, dominate our attention or are held up as worthy of our adulation.'

The Human Rights Watch is one of the world’s leading independent organisations dedicated to defending and protecting human rights. By focusing international attention where human rights are violated, they give voice to the oppressed and hold oppressors accountable for their crimes.

Fear is a unique work from Nicola Green’s In Seven Days… series:

“The image was inspired by a press conference I attended in January 2009 shortly before Obama’s presidency began. It is seen from Obama’s viewpoint – looking out into a sea of cameras, a sea of people, each of them wanting something. This is not just about the media pack; it is about all of us and what we expect from and of each other. The camera looks at us all and we have to ask ourselves what story we want to tell over the course of the 21st century” Nicola Green .

BBC Radio 4's 30-minute documentary explored Nicola Green’s acclaimed series of silkscreen prints, 'In Seven Days…' soon to be exhibited for the first time in the UK at the Walker Gallery in Liverpool.

President Obama’s 2008 campaign was a remarkable moment in history; one that Green witnessed firsthand from nomination to inauguration. Green also describes her personal journey on the campaign trail to create this series of iconic prints, while a prolific cast of curators, artists and critics discuss the intersection of art, politics and history that 'In Seven Days…' represents, both here and in America.
