Exhibition Online - on Live - " Think about paintin"

"Think about Painting"—two of my exhibitions were cancelled this year, but I will not let this pandemic bring me down or stop me from painting. When I'm feeling a little low, I think of my mentor and teacher, Glyn Hughes (1931–2014); at the end of our conversations, he would always tell me, "Think about painting." Though he is no longer with me, those words remain my greatest motivation for art.
During the lockdown, difficult times often brought out the best in people. I wanted to showcase my work through a new and experimental way of exhibiting, adapting to a new way of living and connecting with people in a new era. The artwork streamed live on Facebook, where I stood online explaining my pieces while viewers talked to me live. It was a completely new experience, highly successful, and even resulted in selling some of my work overseas, featuring around 20 paintings and 5 driftwood works. For the grand opening of this online exhibition, we had special guest talks online by Mr. Rathina Iyer Padmanaba Iyer from the UK and Mr. Arvind Appadurai from Paris.
