Drury Lane BLM Painting

This painting was prompted and inspired by the killing of George Floyd and the subsequent Black Lives Matter protests in America and across the world. I wanted to add my support to this movement. The scene itself does not depict any violence, but the situation is unclear, there are guarded poses, uneasy looks and wary glances. In this I invite and encourage the viewer to come up with their own interpretation and speculation as to what could be happening, to write their own narrative. The location is in central London, with some traditional style residential and commercial buildings; referring to/symbolising the past, traditional ways of doing things, racial inequality. But there is a strong source of light coming from between these buildings, a light that bounces off of the windows of a building behind us (the viewer) and reflects back in to the scene casting light in to the fore and middleground, the people, the car (modern,electric); symbolising the possibility and desire for change in the present and future, and hope that things can move forward towards equality.
