Description +-
In Lads, Lads, Lads, Bolle questions how white supremacy and hyper reality interact. The artist released this painting during the height of the Russo-Ukrainian War; asking on her social media if society would help other refugees as willingly if they were black and brown men. She asked: "How if instead of this incredible welcoming we would have fear and mistrust? Is our speed to help the white and westernised people and a slowness to help the “others” really just stemming from fear and a hope that if we should find ourselves in this position one day then we too would get this help? Does it tell us that many white westerners don’t think of black and brown people or people from other cultures as like themselves? Is the help that has been offered in part a sort of self help disguised as doing good for others? We are built to self protect in order to survive. We will never be able to help one another until we fully comprehend that race is a construct and nothing more."

Shirani Bolle
London born multi-disciplinary artist Shirani Bolle is the daughter of a Holocaust survivor and a Sri Lankan immigrant; it is the unlikely union of these two backgrounds that has heavily influenced her work. Bolle uses subjects such as war, capitalism, racism, religion and nature, alongside more personal themes, to explore the existential questions on identity and meaning. The artist's work protests against the, often unquestioned, structures of society. Bright, graphic and colourful, they create noisy and brash work that is demonstrative of the deafening, seemingly inescapable society that we have built. Bolle is visually optimistic in her unravelling of the conscious human existence. She combines her art with a knowledge of eastern philosophy to render open-ended questions; of which, society usually suffers from ignoring.
Shirani has exhibited in London and been featured in publications across the UK and Ireland. She currently lives on the West coast of Ireland with her husband and two young daughters.
