Renowned artist Phlegm documented daily life during the Covid-19 pandemic in the form of artworks.
The 67 pen and ink drawings shared in this new exhibition blur the reality of the pandemic with the imaginary world he has created throughout his career – one full of long-limbed forest creatures, fantastical contraptions and hybrid cities that seem to grow organically. The series goes on display alongside works from the city’s collection.
