Born in the Time of COVID by David Wells is an artwork that is currently on show in the RQAS Queensland Figurative. This portrait of David’s wife, Kat, and their newborn child, represents the impact of becoming a first-time parent during lockdown. Beyond the individual subjects, this artwork is a statement of solidarity with the many families whose impending birth progressed regardless of lockdowns or restrictions. Rituals, including baby showers, were overshadowed, villages were kept apart, but joy perseveres in isolation.⁠
⁠
If you missed out on tickets to our opening event, we are hosting a closing event for the Biennial on Sunday, 27th of October at 1pm. At this event we will announce the winner of the People`s Choice Award, the winners of the art raffle, and entrants will be able to pick up their artworks.⁠
