Virus attack 2021

Cricorps made this painting, Virus Attack, with bright colours that are also kind of acidic. I like how the artist painted the viruses in a way that they look alive and expressive, like they are characters in a cartoon. You can almost hear them yelling! I can imagine Cricorps working on this, using thick strokes to give everything a kind of raw, energetic feeling. You can see that the paint is applied in layers, almost like building up the image bit by bit, with different colors peeking through. I imagine the artist making a statement about their feelings during the pandemic - the viruses are attacking the green figure in glasses, who is defending himself with a mask. This reminds me of other paintings I've seen, where artists use simple shapes and vibrant colors to express strong emotions. It's as if they're saying, "Here's how I see the world, in all its messy, complicated glory." It's like a conversation, with each painter adding their own voice.
