“This Thing Covid” is a compelling abstract geometric painting that channels the frustration and irony of navigating pandemic restrictions. Inspired by the seemingly contradictory regulations, this piece is a bold artistic statement on a global experience.

The artwork is meticulously crafted using a strict square grid. This geometric precision, a hallmark of this art work, reflects the artist’s background in sign writing, lending a clean, sharp, and structured feel to the piece.

What makes this painting truly unique is the masterful use of metallic paints. Each colour was custom-formulated with high-quality artist acrylics, then infused with bronze, copper, gold, or silver metallic pigment. The addition of an acrylic painting medium renders the colours subtly transparent, creating a luminous, multi-layered effect that shimmers and shifts with the light. This delicate process required three coats for each colour, highlighting the artist’s dedication to detail and quality.

Within the vibrant geometric patterns, you’ll discover a subtle, symbolic statement regarding the government’s handling of ‘Covid-19‘, and the impact of forced lockdowns. A personal expression from the artist that weaves the painting’s narrative into its very fabric. This piece is more than just a painting; it is an exploration of a modern theme through the timeless language of geometric abstraction. It’s an ideal addition for collectors seeking a piece that is both visually stunning and intellectually resonant, perfect for a contemporary home or office space.
