My linocut prints are produced using the reduction method in very limited editions. They are intentionally intricate prints that aim to reveal the intensity and density of their subjects. My current work is based on the war in Syria. In my prints of “ALEPPO” and “HOMS” I want to convey the darkness and chaos of war, where the structures of the urban landscape are distorted by bombing and emptied of people. The destructive reality. In the modern world of 24 hour news, images of Syria flick past our eyes and may briefly rattle our consciences. However I hope it is when we stop and contemplate work in the space of an Art gallery that we can start to comprehend the brutality of what is occurring on a deeper level.
You will find Jess Bugler’s work at Hatton Gallery.”

Aleppo! ❤
Christmas, Syria, 2019.
Christmas atmosphere in Syria! 2019
Amoun, 70, a blind Palestinian refugee who lived in the town of Aleppo in Syria, rests on a beach moments after arriving along with another forty on a dinghy in the Greek island of Kos, crossing a part of the Aegean Sea from Turkey to Greece, August 12, 2015. The United Nations refugee agency (UNHCR) called on Greece to take control of the “total chaos” on Mediterranean islands, where thousands of migrants have landed. About 124,000 have arrived this year by sea, many via Turkey, according to Vincent Cochetel, UNHCR director for Europe. The Turkish coast is seen in the background. (REUTERS/Yannis Behrakis)

THE WAR AGAINST THE KURDISH PEOPLE
18.03.2016 idomeni, greece. this refugee in idomeni is a kurd from aleppo, syria. i met him in the dawn of the day in the end of the trainstation where the camp ends. he was there with a group of dozen other kurdish young men, all from syria, most of them from the same neighborhood in aleppo. they all told me pretty much the same story, that they have not been part of one of the groups that are fighting, but during the last years they had to fight to defend their neighborhood. the kurdish people in turkey, syria and irak are under pressure from almost all other groups, turkey bombs and fight them everywhere, including massexecutions of civilians in southeast of turkey. the official syrian military, together with russia, the syrian isis and other dschihadist groups, are fighting against them in syria. in irak they have a semi autonom area, but also face fighting with turkey, the irak isis and other groups. since the kurdish have established a kind of modernist society in this region, including an equalisation of man and woman the exceed most of the western society´s, they are our natural ally in this region. did you know that they have always a man and a woman deciding together in important positions? nevertheless we let them down, sign a deal with turkey that europa will not interfere with their almost genocide war against the kurds. if europa will really grant the turkish people a visa free travel to the eu, we will face a new massive influx of kurdish people who will claim for asylum in europa.
