Sir Paul Beresford slimes to the top is a 1990 by Brian Barnes, held at Victoria and Albert Museum.
This print shows a cartoonish snake with a man’s face at the top, slithering upward through a tall, striped tower. Below, a map of Wandsworth glows faintly, and the snake’s body twists around a brick chimney. The background is bright blue, and the text lists complaints about housing and local policies in bold, green letters. The snake’s face looks like a politician, and the text accuses him of selling public homes for luxury flats while ignoring homeless families. The image mixes humor with sharp criticism of local government. Check out the Victoria and Albert Museum to see this print in person.
