2020 Social Distancing Exhibition
Melissa Burgher, The New Classroom
24" x 30", Oil on canvas, CAN$1,440.00 Unframed - Available for Sale
The New Classroom is both a reality and parody about the current status of families and individuals during social distancing and isolation. Children are no longer attending school and are stuck at home where parents have to figure out ways of keeping them entertained. Doing inventory on toilet paper seems plausible and hilarious because of the current trend in hoarding. An image encompassing today's issues in an innocent, silly and real way. The New Classroom is a strange image, one of creativity, learning and humor. Oil painting on hand stretched canvas over gallery extra deep stretcher bars, painting wraps around sides. Ready to hang.
