WE HAVE BEEN HERE BEFORE, ENCAUSTIC

Encaustic on cradled birch panel.

84cm X 60cm

This is a Covid19 lockdown painting. The Lion man motif is inspired from a 40,000-year-old Mammoth carving.   Our ancestors probably faced many existential crises.  

 

The bird motifs are from gesture drawings I had made of Jackdaws, I feel they represent the relentless Covid news, rules and conspiracies that filled the airwaves.
