Aus aktuellem Anlass (For Current Events)
skeleton; coronavirus
On a blue/black backdrop painted as a celestial sky, a large skeleton head and hand are painted in vividly colored shading and detail. The skeleton's hand is opening toward a coronavirus image. The skeleton appears to be looking at the virus with awe, or contemplation. The artist appears to primarily paint text-based works, and this is the only COVID-related painting on their Instagram. Thus, the title "For Current Events" highlights the uniqueness of this artwork for them.

Put a Mask on Fuckers
put a mask on; threat; instructions; zen garden
On a black wall, a woman with an artistically distorted face raises a fist in the air next to spray painted text which reads "PUT A MASK ON FUCKERS." Her other hand is holding a frying pan, as a threat. The woman appears to be older and is wearing a loose fitting blue dress and sandals with socks.
Underneath the painting, on the sidewalk, is a black painted oval consisting of 6 concentric oval lines. It is in the form of an "urban zen garden," painted by @sacsix. @sacsix has painted multiple "urban zen gardens," but is interesting that these two paintings are juxtaposed.
