Memories of the Gulag 

Copyright @ Helppieart.com

 

 While this painting influenced me directly after reading about the Russian gulag system and the mission and purpose of the secret police, I tried to capture a prisoners reaction to incarceration which could also apply to America's prison system, with its million plus captives. There seems to be no answer to gainfully return prisoners into their culture, with any great success, in any country. My portrait shows despair & hopelessness after being caught in a bewildering social system.
