Together Alone Painting

Dutch artist Karlijn Surminski (1978) has created a magnificent series about the Barcelona Lockdown of 2020. Paintings with stories, emotions, videos and music. It's only been 4 years since everything locked down in Barcelona, but it seems like ages ago. Every evening at 8 p.m. the entire neighborhood clapped for the people who worked in healthcare. Everyone stood on the balcony and there was a moment of contact between the neighbors. Also a moment to look with curiosity at what was happening behind all those windows. A kind of voyeurism, which I had also seen in paintings by the American painter Edward Hopper (1882-1967). Some of the paintings are direct versions of a Hopper painting, but most are true or imagined glimpses into the urban landscape of Barcelona. To return to this world for a moment, most paintings appeal to your own imagination and old emotions are quickly evoked. Everyone experienced the lockdown in their own way. Small and big drama, small and big happiness, but all to a large extent deprived of our freedom. What does that do to you? And how do you deal with that?
