Art in Isolation: An artists’ response to the Coronavirus

From the rainbows thanking the NHS in windows to graffiti murals inspired by the global coronavirus pandemic, all sorts of artists have used lockdown to capture this period in history. While some works draw on the sense of fear and isolation felt by many, others are inspired by the heroes who have emerged during the crisis. Some works even centre around lockdown itself - from boredom to chaos to stockpiling.

This online exhibition features works from local artists on the theme of ‘Art in Isolation’. We asked artists to reflect on the effects that the Coronavirus has had on them as individuals and society in general.

Each artist has written about their work and their own experiences during lockdown, which, for some of you will be very relatable. During our time putting the exhibition together, we have laughed and we have shed tears and in particular we have shared the artists feelings. 

We hope that by sharing this exhibition with you, it brings some joy and also some relief that others have shared similar experiences to the ones you had.
