Mayar Akash’s lockdown painting, called ‘Aura2’

BUDDING artists have continued sending in “lockdown art” to the Tribune after our call for help in creating an artistic history of Islington during the coronavirus crisis.

We’re still on the lookout for poetry, photographs, paintings and anything else to feature, so please keep sending them in.

Stafford Cunningham’s snap of a moorhen

This week, Jack Harris has sent a number of paintings after becoming inspired by this series to take up the challenge of painting different flowers every day.

“So far we have had tulips, sunflowers and gerberas, but we still have lots more challenges to complete,” said Mr Harris.

Mayar Akash sent us her brilliantly vivid painting, entitled Aura2.

She said: “This is my painting of the way I am feeling at this moment in time of our world and our lives in crisis.”

Stafford Cunningham, of Copenhagen Street, snapped a picture of a moorhen roosting on the water, and has named it “Self-isolation by nature”.

Gandha Key’s ‘Quiet Hornsey Lane/Tile Kiln Lane’

And Gandha Key, who was also featured in the Tribune last week, sent in another painting of Hornsey Lane, and added they would be creating a book of all their lockdown art paintings after the crisis had passed. This one is called “A quiet Hornsey Lane/Tile Kiln Lane with a nod to Magritte”.
