‘Painting in the Time of Corona, 11 April 2020, lockdown day 18’ by Dhruvi Acharya, watercolour on paper, 50.8 cm by 36.2cm, 2020.
The painting is one of an extraordinary series that the artist began on March 22, 2020, the day of the Janata Curfew. By that time, Dhruvi had been in self-isolation for ten days. She soon challenged herself to try and complete a painting every day of the lockdown. Each of the pictures is an intense reflection of what she is – what the world is – going through.
