Inmate Brian lived a general isolated life in a major city of Denmark. He came into trouble due to a dispute that most people never would have taken serious and ended up in prison due to an overreaction.
In prison he started to paint. He discovered a talent and started to experiment with styles and made a mix of pictures of his own and copies of different popular artworks.
Starting painting changed something in his surroundings. Inmates and officers looked as his pictures and started to address him in a different way and comment on his art. Brian noticed the change and enjoyed the attention he got. The talk was mind opening for him.
His pictures was displayed in prison and he had a small exhibition in a public place.
At release he mentioned that "If I ever get into trouble again, I know I can paint myself out of it".
The presented picture shows Brian with other inmates. Can you spot him? At the background of the picture is the Article on personal freedom from the Danish Constitution written.
This Project is sponsored by the European Commission through the Socrates Grundtvig Action
