Heat Is Coming

This painting depicts a variety of post-pandemic lifestyles and activities. The painting is dominated by a central face, with a guitar delineated by its contour and mouth, suggesting a connection between music and the various activities portrayed. In the foreground, people are shown camping, dancing, and skating, suggesting a desire to get back to pre-pandemic activities or try new ones. The expression on the central face is one of annoyance and frustration, probably aimed at the congestion of life. The title, "Heat is coming" suggests that something is building, and the painting's vibrant orange and dynamic brushstrokes only add to the tension. While people are eager to resume their activities and pursue new ones, there is also a sense of unease and uncertainty, as the world continues to grapple with the pandemic's aftermath. The connection between music and the various activities portrayed suggests a common thread that unites people in these uncertain times, while the tension in the painting's central face hints at the challenges that lie ahead.
