CLOSER THAN EVER

Pandemic brings together three women artists working in various disciplines to exhibit their paintings and conceptual works under the collective Aadhya

How else to describe the pandemic other than surreal? Seemingly overnight, the entire fabric of daily life was turned upside down. And yet—between trying to order groceries online and refreshing your favourite newspaper’s homepage—it became important that we kept ourselves optimistic, energized, and entertained (and, perhaps, a little distracted). So from restlessness to reflection, three artists - Hemavathy Guha, Shubika Lal, and Aradhna Tandon - working in various disciplines decided to cope with the pandemic through creative expression. It was Guha, a multidisciplinary artist, who took the initiative and got in touch with some more women artists who had similar thoughts and were willing to join the bandwagon.
