This painting, a triptych conceived during the COVID-19 pandemic, originates from a view on my daily running route in Wimbledon. Central to the composition is a deliberately synthetic rainbow – a response to the ubiquitous symbol of hope and support for the NHS seen in windows during that time. Its artificiality within the landscape reflects my feeling about this symbol being somewhat 'hijacked' by the crisis; it feels unnatural integrated into the scene.
The landscape itself is highly enhanced with vivid colours, diverging from a single-point perspective. Inspired by mapping concepts, Wimbledon's roads become an integrated, fractured network – a 'mishmash' representing the entire journey of the run, not just one moment. While initially appearing familiar, closer inspection reveals layers of urban planes – walls, bushes, streets, cube-like houses – creating a maze-like quality where one can easily get lost.
Above, soft pink and purple clouds contrast with the blocky urban forms. The distinct lack of human presence evokes the emptiness of lockdown, while the labyrinthine structure mirrors the disorienting, repetitive cycle of days experienced during the pandemic. Ultimately, the painting compresses the feeling of that extended daily journey into one layered view, revealing complexity beneath a seemingly straightforward scene.
