Exploring After the Plague Party in Technicolour Paining

Winter is a season that naturally draws us inward—toward reflection, creativity, and the search for colour in a quieter world. For artists and art lovers alike, it’s the perfect time to explore bold, expressive work that brings warmth and energy into the colder months. One piece that captures this beautifully is my large‑scale painting, After the Plague Party in Technicolour, a vibrant celebration of movement, imagination, and resilience.

Why Winter Is the Perfect Time to Explore Colourful Contemporary Art

Winter often surrounds us with muted tones: soft greys, pale blues, and long stretches of monochrome landscapes. This makes colourful artwork especially powerful during the season. Bright, expressive paintings can:

• Lift your mood during darker months

• Add warmth and vibrancy to your home

• Inspire creativity when you need it most

• Offer a visual escape from winter’s stillness

Collectors often look for artwork that brings energy into their space during this time of year, making winter a popular season for discovering new pieces.

About the Painting: After the Plague Party in Technicolour

This large oil painting (48" x 150") is part of my After the Plague Party series, inspired by historic artworks created after past plagues. Instead of Renaissance figures, the scene is filled with:

• animals

• children’s toys

• invented characters

• expressive, gestural colour

The result is a dynamic, celebratory gathering—an imagined moment of joy after a long period of isolation. In winter, the painting feels especially alive, offering a burst of technicolour energy that contrasts beautifully with the season’s quiet palette.

 

Winter Art Inspiration for Your Home or Collection

If you’re looking to refresh your space this season, consider artwork that brings:

• Bold colour to brighten darker days

• Movement and energy to counter winter stillness

• Playfulness to spark creativity

• Large-scale impact for dramatic visual warmth

Pieces like After the Plague Party in Technicolour can transform a room, becoming a focal point that energizes your environment all winter long.

Book Recommendation for Art Lovers

This season, I’ve been reading Woo Woo by Ella Baxter, a sharp and funny novel that playfully skewers the art world. It’s been the perfect studio companion—and a reminder not to take the art scene (or myself!) too seriously.
