Tents

Andrew Manson’s "Tents" is a poignant and visually striking piece that captures a stark reality in modern urban landscapes. The blue tents, scattered across a grassy area, serve as both a shelter and a symbol of displacement, reflecting on themes of homelessness, survival, and visibility in public spaces.

Set against the backdrop of a cityscape, the contrast between the natural and built environment adds depth to the narrative. The soft folds of the tents, painted in delicate yet bold brushstrokes, evoke a sense of impermanence, while the repetition of their forms across the landscape speaks to a larger societal issue.

With its subtle social commentary and masterful composition, "Tents" invites the viewer to reflect on the unseen and often ignored aspects of city life.
