Inspired by the violence of traditional Punch and Judy Shows, the artist brings Mr Punch to life as a seedy end of the pier comedian (a Jim Davidson of a man).

 

Here he stands holding a sexualised Judy puppet in one hand and a baton in the other, as if ready to perform the violent gag that is hitting his wife. His nose is obviously phallic to show the sexual misogyny in Punch and Judy shows.

 

Like Pinocchio, whose nose grows when he lies. Lily has used the elongated nose as a comment on the lies that were told by politicians on the lead up to Brexit.

 

Mr Punch is a man opposed to “political correctness gone mad” here the artist used the St George’s flag instead of the traditional puppet tent as a comment on its adaption from the far right. The newspaper suit is made from a collage of right-wing articles on Brexit.
