Praise for The Axis of Elvis...
"The Sulman Prize for best subject painting, genre painting or mural project went to David DisherÕs potent allegory, Axis of Elvis. The picture shows Elvis Presley meeting Richard Nixon in front of a mosque decorated with his (ElvisÕ that is) pictures. It was strikingly composed, painstakingly executed and politically strident."

"The artist is a lucky devil! We are the last of the alchemists; creating something out of nothing. The nothing is that blank canvas and blank state that freaks you out at the time, as you realise your last idea was actually your ÔlastÕ idea. Quite often, the more ludicrous the thought, the more sense the painting makes. We are surrounded by the ludicrous thoughts of politicians and the media which are subject to rules, reality and justification and in those professions, ignore those processes at your peril! The artist is allowed to ignore convention and throw up as many hospital handballs as possible; youÕre going to get it, or itÕs going to sail on past you!"
