The Oil Ship is a 2013 by Atkinson, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print pokes at big oil and big art. Atkinson made it in 2013 to raise cash for a protest group. It looks like a fake newspaper front page. The headline jokes that a painting of the Deepwater Horizon blast won the Turner Prize. Atkinson has spent years turning real headlines into art. If you like this kind of sharp, funny print, check out more work by the artist Atkinson.
