To make the most understatement of the century: 2020 was like no other. The pandemic that has now swept across the globe making it difficult for travel. But despite it becoming a restrictive force, the current situation is a fertile ground for inspiration for artists. For many of us, we are living in a somewhat strange world because of the unfamiliarity. After all, the last pandemic of such a scale happened centuries ago. And to help make sense of what?s happening, artists play a pivotal role in offering some insights.

One such artist is Soni Irawan, an Indonesian creative that not only paints but is also a band member of the musical group: Seek Six Stick. This allows him to produce interesting artworks that incorporate two seemingly distinct modes of expression into a single painting. Avid followers of Soni would notice a transition in the colours since the onset of the pandemic. The paintings have gone darker which seem to emphasize human?s life during this bleak period.Â
