2020
This mixed media street art painting is about the fear and chaos caused by the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. A young girl, depicted in black and white, cringes as large, ominous virus-like splashes surround her, symbolising the invisible but ever-present threat of infection. Text fragments in the textured background evoke a sense of urgency, media overload and the overwhelming flow of information that defined 2020.
The vibrant but weathered pink, orange and blue tones, combined with expressive splashes of paint, provide a stark contrast to the figure's grey tones and emphasise vulnerability in an urban landscape.
Perfect for those who love socially engaged art, this work serves as both a historical reflection and an emotional snapshot of a time when fear, uncertainty and resilience defined everyday life.
