A Painting
Inspired in part by the profound and beautiful film ‘A Portrait of a Lady on Fire’, this short is a deep exploration into the process of the artist, dissecting society around them and reforming it onto canvas. Spinning magic in the mundane and transforming the bleak. Or, it was just Joe fucking about with his camera in lockdown — you decide.
