The soldiers’ trauma and pressure in maintaining normalcy is a defining characteristic of the mini-series. Harrowing and almost soul-crushing, the show’s visceral and polemic display of war and conflict-torn areas is truly precedent-setting. ‘The Pacific’ is one of the best mini-series of the past decade. The two leading men, as brilliant as they are, don’t shy away from full frontal nudity, boldly embracing the opportunity to set the screens ablaze. A beautiful conflict of suppressed obedience and galore and an itching urge to conquer it all, ‘Rome’ does a superlative job in taking us back to the days of gladiators and war-ridden cities. Normally epic historicals lack the epic element and often turn out to be uninspiring and drab. This epic-drama was a surprisingly satiating watch. Their lives change as they witness the fall of a republic and the creation of an empire. ![]() Lucius Vorenus and Titus Pullo, two ordinary Roman soldiers, turn into heroes after their arena feats. The nudity, though uncomfortable, gives a holistic and comprehensive rendering of an experience to the viewer, deterring them from committing crimes and going to jail probably.

Since 2007, Lee has exhibited in solo exhibitions and group shows throughout the UK. In fact, experimenting is integral to Lee’s work, it is what drives his art forward. Painting is Lee’s predominant means of creating, yet he is constantly drawing and experimenting with other mediums. Within no time, the expressive and unrestrained nature of creating portrait paintings led to Lee’s vocation as a fine artist. Characterised by saturated colours and heavy brushwork, the process-led nature of Lee’s art reflects the energy of each piece.Īfter graduating from the University of the West of England in 2006 with a degree in Graphic Design, Lee initially worked in design, only painting in his spare time. With colours and figures reminiscent of Francis Bacon’s visceral style, Lee’s dynamic approach conveys the raw emotion and inner turmoil of his characters. Combining elements of painting, drawing and printmaking, Lee’s dynamic approach makes for rich, bold and emotional works of art.
