Seven Point Six Million
Acrylic on canvas, 60.5cm (H) x 90.5cm (W) x 3.5cm (D)
This painting is a continuation of a series of artworks I’ve been working on since the start of the global pandemic. This is a design using ‘bubble’ letters that I created, which overlap each other and spell out ‘7.6 Million’ which is the current number of Australians that were born overseas, many of whom have been separated from their home countries and families for almost two years due to COVID-19 and Australia’s border closure policies.
The colour palette references what happens when you separate white light into the three primary colours (red, green, blue) and overlap them to create the secondaries (cyan, magenta, yellow and black), and is an analogy for separation creating a rich spectrum of emotions. This colourful piece is a homage to those who are suffering from separation grief, and hopefully offers a little bit of colourful comfort and hope.
