FEATURED
This curated page features some of the submissions that really stood out to us. We’ll be updating this section regularly, so keep checking back!
“Breathing Zone”
Los Angeles, USA - While most of the submissions on this site have introduced artists whose work was cancelled or postponed because of the pandemic, there are also a few, like this one, whose creator found inspiration from the pandemic. From the submission: Initially started from a curiosity into the way in which my partner and I occupied our one bedroom apartment, this body of work explores the idea of social distancing amidst the Covid 19 epidemic.
“Yalta”
New York, USA - Sometimes it’s best to let artists speak for themselves. It’s impossible not to be both moved and inspired by Hans Rieger’s art and words:“I was born before the second war in Lower Silesia and experienced social distancing early in my life. At the age of 80 I started painting/illustrating events affecting our life's, historic happenings interpreted in abstract or semi representational form. Recently the pandemic prevented a possibility to have an exhibition of my artwork at the local museum. As an octogenarian my creative lifespan is limited and diminishes the opportunities for a show so important for an artist. Since 1970ties I live in Orient, New York USA.” Take a look at the stunning work below, then go to http://riegerart.com/ for more.
