| Victim Series "I use media such as spray cans, use tubes of paint like felt tip pens and scratch at the surface of the canvas to produce layer upon layer of imagery. These combined effects lead the paintings to portray relentless energy to create new meaning, new excitement, new order, a physically disturbed situation that never rests." The 'Victim Series' first exhibited at Rochdale Art Gallery in 1983 Irene McManus of The Guardian wrote "Duffy dominates this show with his huge Victim series, a sculpture / environment / altar piece of seven paintings as a monument or epitaph" to those who are the victims in society. The centre panel, a 14ft. high crucifix entitled "Victim, no resurrection" was the major work in the series and later exhibited in New York. Studies from the Series were later shown in Cheltenham.
