Scream Inside Your Heart

Malaysian artist Anurendra Jegadeva is currently living in Melbourne, Australia, and has spent the last 6 months in lockdown because of the COVID-19 pandemic - an apt time to create a series of paintings that look at the global pandemic and how we deal with it, personally, socially, and politically. Featuring paintings of dynamic figures in gas masks, isolated individuals, and mundane domestic details, Anurendra’s series dwells on the feelings and dilemmas of this current point in time. We speak with him about his current exhibition, named “Scream Inside Your Heart - New Paintings from Solitary Confinement”.
