Who is Ken? – A4 poster

Oor ain culture Culture is one of the main things that define a country. It makes one place on a map more than simply in a different location to another place on a map. Scotland is no exception to this. From our tartans and traditions, to our writing, music, languages and so much more, the culture that has come to define Scotland has become known around the world. Cringe no more Since the 1707 Act of Union that took away Scotland's independence, Scots have been taught to dislike, dismiss, or even flat out deny their culture. Known as the Scottish Cringe, this in-built censor manifests in all sorts of ways, often around words such as 'twee' and 'parochial'. Bringing a sense of worth back to Scots through a focus on their Scottish culture is my main aims in creating this art. About this piece Every Scot talks about him… but no one's even seen him! He's the source of many a confused visitor to Scotland. If ye ken whit ah mean. The artwork This colourful drawing takes inspiration from Mid-century modern design and pop art styles.
