It's "art", Leo. It's not meant to be understood by normal people.

It's a socio-dynamic look at Man's inhumanity to Man which makes a comment on the fight or flight reaction. The painting of the tank in a desert scheme also makes a critical remark on US policy in the Middle East since 1945, whilst using a British Centurion tank also remarks on Britain's role in that region...

See, being an art critic isn't hard

Actually, if that Centurion is an ex-IDF machine (as I suspect), the piece is a scathing indictment of Israel's treatment of the Palestinians.

Or it could be a glorious statement of support for the Israeli Self-Defense Forces too. Oh, wait a minute, this pavilion was in Europe, wasn't it? Never mind...

Ah yes, I agree with my erstwhile companion on this facet of the piece. The usage of an ex-IDF tank does create a powerful image in regards to Israel vis-a-vis the Palestinian territories and people and the implied support for such policies that is received from the Western nations through the supplies of military hardware.

We can also see that the runner is wearing a blue outfit and is white. Need I remind you all that the colours of the Israeli flag are blue and white? Also the red stripe of his trainers represents the blood of victims.

You can claim anything is art these days

When I were a lad you had to have some sort of actual talent
