Lauralyn: Essential
"Lauralyn: Essential" is an evocative portrait that captures the exhaustion, resilience, and quiet strength of essential workers during the COVID-19 pandemic. Part of the "2020: Unprecedented Times" series, this painting blends abstract and realistic techniques, drawing inspiration from Gerhard Richter, Kehinde Wiley, and Alice Neel.
Based on a personal photograph taken on Christmas morning of 2020, this piece depicts the artist's mother, a dedicated health care provider for adults with developmental disabilities. After months of quarantining and following every precaution, she learned she had contracted COVID-19. The painting shows her in full PPE, slumped in a rocking chair, her masked head resting on a gloved hand, embodying the weight of exhaustion and uncertainty. Expressive brushstrokes and glazes blend her form with the abstract background, symbolizing the chaos of the pandemic and its impact on frontline workers.
Key Features:
Original, one-of-a-kind artwork
Combines abstract and realistic painting styles
Inspired by true events during the COVID-19 pandemic
Ideal for art collectors interested in contemporary social themes
