The Killing of Lions; An Iraqi War Meditation, is the only contemporary work of art to reinterpret the famous works of Assyrian genius, the Lion Hunts of Ashurbanipal. One of the most famous works of the ancient world, the Lion Hunts were originally created for the North Palace of Nineveh in the 7th century B.C, near modern day Mosul, Iraq, and currently reside in the British Museum. Drdak’s The Killing of Lions; An Iraqi War Meditation was conceived of as a meditation on the war in Iraq and its resulting civilian casualties; the subject of numerous exhibitions and lectures, it is a work which bridges and redefines the art of the deep past with that of the immediate present.
