Police brutality seemed to increase even as the very topic of police brutality was under the microscope.

This caused a large divide in public opinion.

This painting does not take sides. This painting shows a police officer backed by a firey haze, taking up most of the canvas. He is faceless and nameless. We don’t know what is happening here. He could be very much needed or he could be the very problem. Often, we don’t know enough details to come to our conclusions.

In the background a police car looms in the night. Above it, what could otherwise be a colourful and fun scene is simply the night lights deceptively floating like balloons.

Concurrently, the world had to shut down nightclubs, bars, restaurants, gyms and many other forms of refuge that people seeked out to deal with the difficulties of life. For millions of people, the nightclub is not a trivial place to pass the time but a much needed meeting place with almost pious affects. Nightclubs are often the very reason to see those they care about to deal with these stresses of life.

There are no signs of nightblubs in this painting as they were shut down and the most memorable type of nightclubbing, sadly is seen on the canvas.
