Contemporary printmaker portrays the pandemic

Share-a-print-a-day, week 2: another contemporary artist, Vincent de Boer, from Germany; this one young and not long embarked on his career. (Not to be confused with a contemporary Dutch “musical artist” of the same name. Took me a minute to realize they were two separate people, not one multi-talented person.) He’s very good, and shows a lot of his work on Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/winston_artist/) as well as selling some prints on Etsy (https://www.etsy.com/shop/WinstonArtist?ref=shop_sugg). So far, all of his prints that I know of are linocuts (printed from relief blocks carved from a sheet of linoleum mounted on a wooden block) I actually bought an original impression of the print I am featuring today (and will likely buy more of his work in the future). When I saw it, it spoke to me. I knew immediately that it was a reaction to the pandemic lockdown, titled “Isolation”.
