"Let's Leave Pessimism for Better Times" is a vibrant, kaleidoscopic painting that bursts with color and energy. It depicts numerous faces, each adorned with a mask, showcasing a myriad of hues and expressions. Every face and mask is unique, symbolizing the diversity and individuality of human experience.
This piece was created in the midst of the pandemic, during a particularly surreal time when the government was encouraging people to return to pubs and restaurants to boost the economy. It was a period marked by a strange dichotomy: the world was under lockdown, yet suddenly there were promotions like 2-for-1 deals at eateries and coffee shops.
The painting’s title, "Let's Leave Pessimism for Better Times," is a poignant reflection of the era. Amidst the confusion and uncertainty, it conveys a powerful message of resilience and optimism. The myriad of masked faces represents the collective struggle and the colorful defiance against the gloom of the times.
This painting captures the essence of those bizarre days, blending the tension between caution and the yearning for normalcy. It serves as a vibrant reminder that even in the most challenging circumstances, we can choose to embrace positivity and look forward to brighter days.
"Let's Leave Pessimism for Better Times" is not just a commentary on a specific moment in history, but a timeless piece that encourages viewers to find light and hope, even when the world seems uncertain.
A little reminder of the crazy lockdown times.
