Repercussions of coronavirus pandemic and its impact on the aesthetics variables of contemporary art and artists

Abstract EN

The COVID-19 pandemic had a sudden and substantial impact on visual arts, culture, and the creative economy.

This study elaborates on the effects of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis on the creative economy, which is comprised of film, advertising, and fashion as well as creative occupations such as musicians, artists, performers, and designers.

The global health crisis and the uncertainly resulting from it profoundly affected organizations’ operations as well as individuals—both employed and independent— especially across the sector of visual arts.

To understand how Art careers are changing due to the Coronavirus, this paper aims to investigate the effect of the Coronavirus outbreak on the artists' careers and their response to propose a new creative aesthetic approach to the Art industry all over the world through description and analysis of some Art applications both technically and functionally in contemporary spaces of visual arts.

In the end, the researcher concluded that there were many commonalities in how artists were responding to the shifting professional landscape around them.

While most of the artists experienced a level of loss from sales, delayed workshops, and cancelled openings, they were already planning ways to innovate and move their careers to online websites
