"Love Lockdown"
Gesso and water color on canvas.

2020
‘Love Lockdown’ was produced alongside ‘Fire on Hamilton’, during the 2020 lockdown. Inspired by my daily walks around Highland Park and the Boston-Edison district, I exaggerated shapes and angles of natural elements and manmade structures. I created three paintings in this series. The title of this piece is inspired by the Kanye West song, "Love Lockdown" from his fourth album, '808s & Heartbreak'. I decided to title it this because I was going through a break-up, and the country was under a governmental lockdown. This painting is my second use of natural dye in my art. I primed the canvas multiple times before applying grey and black dye. This allowed the dye to sit and dry on top of the canvas rather than soaking into the canvas.
