Bio
Chup Priovashini is a geographer and painter finishing her masters at the Univeristy of Oxford. As an artist, her inspiration lies in the ambience of landscapes, reflected in the looming, grey architecture of this piece.
This piece reflects my thoughts on the atomisation of urban social life, exacerbated by the COVID-19 lockdown. I have interpreted mental health as the central “urban emergency”, juxtaposing the physical isolation of lockdown with mental buzz, noise, and anxiety of modern life.
This piece began as a marker drawing, before being digitally coloured and detailed.
