ABOUT THE ARTWORK

Acrylic Paint and Ink on canvas During the pandemic we all felt angry, lost, scared, confused, and so much more. Most of us didn’t know how to process these emotions, I didn’t even know how I could write them down. So I didn’t. I painted them. This painting took me months and months. Every time I looked at it while working on it I got angry, so angry. Angry with the government who failed me. Angry with the rules they broke. The lives they lost. The time we all lost. I just felt grief, and rage and regret. I have frequently used drips to communicate feelings of despair, grief and depression. I have use luminous yellow and green to mimic the warning signs used by the government…if you can call them warnings. They were once red and yellow, suggesting stop. Then they became green and yellow…suggesting go. Go break rules. Just like we all are… I just wanted to cry, and scream.

Conor Collins is a Manchester based artist who uses unconventional materials and techniques in his art in order to express meaning and messages in his work. Conor’s work has appeared in publications such as TIME Magazine and been shortlisted for the Celeste Art Prize and winning the START Art Prize which saw him exhibiting at BOZAR (Brussels). Collectors of Conor’s work include Stephen Fry, Ian McKellen and Giorgio Armani. Conor has in the past used materials such as HIV Positive Blood, Diamond Dust, Written Words and more in order to convey a strong social or political message. His work challenges the ideas of aesthetic beauty and political rhetoric. As such his work has exhibited both in Galleries and The Speakers House of the House of Commons (UK). Conor continues to challenge both himself and the boundaries of what art should/should not do. He hopes in time to create a platform where the voices of creatives are as influential for social change as the politicians making changes into law.
