Item description
An acrylic and oil painting on canvas. In the center of the piece, an older person sits on a brown chair dressed in a tall, pointed yellow crown and fastened yellow collar over a white cape and white and green robes with a yellow belt. Grasped in their left hand is an oversized vaccination syringe, the needle pointing upward, and in their right hand is a white and red COVID cell. Behind them are blue pleated curtains. In the bottom left corner is the signature “d.ellyn” and beneath that the numbers “9.21” in thin black strokes.

Untitled 6

Dana Ellyn

I am a full time painter living and working in downtown Washington DC. I have always painted current events and reacted to the world around me. As soon as the COVID-19 pandemic became front page news in 2020, I began creating virus-themed work from my downtown studio. I created close to 100 unique paintings that documented the constantly mutating “facts" surrounding this once in a lifetime global phenomenon.
