‘OutsideIn | InsideOut’
Lime Flamingo Collective Group Exhibition

5 February - 21 March 2021

Lime Flamingo Collective artists exhibited works that reflected on 2020 events around the COVID-19 crisis, life in quarantine, the Australian bushfire disasters and the climate emergency. Rojé reflected through the lens of parody.

Pandemic Parody is a series of twenty three small-scale (250 x 200 mm) acrylic works on canvas depicting the consequences, behaviours and peculiarities of how lives have been turned Inside Out by the Covid-19 corona virus pandemic. The series re-imagines classic and interesting works of predominately nineteenth and twentieth century artists using the stimulus of the viral pandemic as the common thread to thematically integrate the disparate works. Originals showing the bustle of everyday life are stripped back to reflect the empty vistas as a consequence of lockdown. Others unveil the angst of physical separation, quarantine, job insecurity, protests of resistance to lockdown and the ritual symbols and practices of maintaining a covid-safe environment. Through these parodies, Roger’s works provide pause for reflection and a small amount of luminescence to disperse the shadows of dark times.
