Dickson said: “In the case of Seema you are painting for hundreds of people. It is very much for all the victims of the post office scandal.<\/p>\n
“So that has to get into the process somehow but you can’t paint that entire story that is impossible.<\/p>\n
“So I put stuff on and then covered it up and told the story… but you won’t see the whole story in the picture – it’s under layers – there’s all sorts of stuff behind.<\/p>\n
“That’s the only way I could approach it.”<\/p>\n
All of the portraits from this series will be on display at a free exhibition at The Loading Bay in Bradford from Friday 1 May.<\/p>\n
Once that’s finished, Dickson is hoping to look for venues in the south to exhibit the portrait.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Dickson said: “In the case of Seema you are painting for hundreds of people.
