EDITORS COMMENTS
This charming print captures the whimsical peek-a-boo character known as Conchy, a conscientious objector during the First World War. Created by artist Chloe Preston and hand-painted on Savoy china (Birks Grotesques), this unique piece of art showcases the creativity and resistance of individuals during wartime.
Conchy is depicted wearing a cap and patched trousers, with his hands casually tucked into his pockets. His red face adds a touch of playfulness to his character, making him stand out in the midst of war. The attention to detail in this hand-painted piece is evident, showcasing the skill and talent of the artist.
During a time when tensions were high and sacrifices were being made, Conchy serves as a reminder of those who stood up for their beliefs and refused to participate in violence. His presence on this china figurine is both striking and thought-provoking, inviting viewers to reflect on the complexities of war and individual choices.
This print from Liss Fine Art / Mary Evans Prints Online captures not only a historical moment from WWI but also a timeless message about courage, integrity, and standing up for what you believe in.
