The COVID-19 pandemic has necessitated a rethinking of our work schedules. The uncertainty of things happening has added to the panic that is making it difficult to lead a normal life. An artist already known to be super sensitive needs to save his raw nerves more cautiously. No wonder most of the artists are diverting all their energy to creativity. We are receiving the pictures of amazingly wonderful works done by artists from different parts of India. Understanding well that it is not possible to exhibit the works in galleries in such difficult days, we at Art Observer believe in giving full moral support to the artists to keep them going. For many it has become almost therapeutic and we appreciate the outpour that is honest, brilliant and vibrant. Art works of some artists are full of expression and style of execution.
