Morris Nitsun, group analyst and artist, will present a series of paintings he produced during lockdown in the months March to August 2020. Struck by the panic that swept through Europe in the early outbreak of the virus, transforming vibrant cities and towns
\ninto empty, desolate places, he was moved to capture images of these places in paint. The result is a striking body of work, evoking the dread that haunted communities – and still does.<\/p>\n
In addition to the online exhibition, Morris will speak about the paintings, putting them in the context of his own experience of the corona virus, his background and interests as an artist, and the sense he tried to make of the massive social and existential impact of the pandemic. This embraces themes of illness and loss but there are glimmers of hope in the dark – of a renewed world, of the creative and collaborative spirit that survives trauma. <\/p>\n
