Beyond the Pavement of Normality
“ Inspired by the works of the Italian Metaphysical painter Giorgio de Chirico, this painting is my commentary on what we had been through during the previous year (2020). Bushfires, Covid, lockdowns, lives in ruin, projects abandoned and dreams discarded or shattered.
Humanity raises its hand in a cry for help and some even consider surrender. All hope lies with medical research. A young woman is about to step from the pavement of normality into a future of chaos. Meanwhile the statues look to the past”
