After ‘Bloody Sunday’ and the Abercorn bombing in 1972,
George Campbell embarked on a series of paintings, ‘The
Belfast Series’ representing Belfast during the conflict.
Friendly with two Journalists, Tom McGurk and Martin
Dillon who had photographic evidence of events in 1972,
Martin Dillon offered to drive Campbell around Belfast
showing him the areas worse affected by the Troubles in
1973. This painting, ‘Masked Figure’ is part of this series
of paintings executed after Campbell’s trips to Belfast
during the conflict in the 1970’s.
