It was totally deserted, no planes, no cars, no people. The air was silent and clean. I heard bees on Holborn Circus, saw Leicester Square empty at lunchtime. I cycled the length of Oxford Street without seeing a single car. The shops were shuttered, the tourists gone, the commuters stayed at home. The city was quiet and grey. London was void of colour. Subconsciously I must have been searching for some reassurance in a new and uncertain world. Out of the grey popped RED. The post boxes and phone boxes. That bright red seemed brighter and shinier than before. The more I noticed them the more they became symbols of an old more reliable world with systems set up by benevolent governments that cared for everyone and invested in infrastructure. I found comfort in their presence. Red was our colour. I saw it everywhere, buses, fire extinguishers, life belts, fire engines even light ships.\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOil on panel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe frame pictured is for illustrative purposes.
