Portrait of Isolation - Sonata

This painting is based on my own feelings about lockdown, and in particular the fate of live events.

Will the piano be played again?

What will become of live venues?

The painting is based on a photograph of a now demolished theatre. The work is intentionally ambiguous, both optimistic with light coming in, and also sad with ghost-like qualities and the darker areas with suggestive of the past reminisce and what had once been in a great venue
