Supporters please note: Recurrent lockdowns has made advertising and event-planning much harder for small businesses. I'd very much appreciate your efforts to share this event invitation with like-minded people. Thank you!
After exhibiting in Europe during the first covid scare, Perth artist Ryck Rudd began painting a series of local townscapes inspired by the eerily-quiet yet rapidly-changing world of 2020.
''Perth seemed to freeze in time during the first lockdown. After two weeks in quarantine, I walked outside to buy my own groceries... and you would think everyone had all perished overnight. The whole town felt abandoned. The parks, the schools, and every local business: empty, ghostly and silent. Just the wind and the trees and the birds. It was uncanny but it was very tranquil. It felt like the new world -- whatever it would be -- was approaching.
These oil paintings are a meditation on my experiences in the suburbs of Perth during the first big covid scare.''
