The Best Quarantine Art on Instagram Made During This God-Forsaken Pandemic

They say necessity is the mother of invention. During coronavirus quarantine, that means turning our upside-down world into art. While being stuck inside, alone, doesn’t seem like it would lend itself to inspiration, artists all over the world are making the best of this downtime and transforming COVID-19 anxiety into works of art.

In lieu of museums and art galleries, Instagram is the social media platform of choice for displaying these timely, modern masterpieces. We’ve scoured the site for the best quarantine art made during this god-forsaken pandemic. These visual treats just might be among the few good things to come out of this otherwise depression, bleak time.

A sincere thank you to the incredibly brave people working around the clock to keep this country going. Whether it be the medical staff treating those physically affected, the grocery store worker stocking shelves amidst the chaos, or even the sanitation specialists, postal service workers and countless other professions making sure the rest of the world spins, this pandemic has shown us which societal roles are truly “essential”. If you know someone on the frontlines, check in on them. See if they themselves need anything, and thank them for their huge service to our society. I have no idea how our country or even our world will look after this has passed, but I take comfort in knowing that it will, and that we have the chance to be stronger because of it.

While you are quarantined at home you might as well put your time at good use. This is the time to be our true selves. Time to use integrity and exercise LOVE. Because that’s what truly matters.

Thrilled to be featured artist by @amplifierart! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I drew this piece to call attention to the essential worker protections that farm workers (and all workers) deserve and to challenge the policies that deem these workers as essential in name but disposable in practice. The notion of heroism on the frontlines is an empty, vain narrative unless accompanied by meaningful worker protections and labor standards. If you want to collaborate or talk art & activism, hit me up! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can download this and even more dope art: at www.amplifier.org #amplifierart #farmworkers #farmworkersfeedtheworld #essentialworkers #illustration #workersrights #farmworkerjustice #farmworkersrights #1u #digitalart #digitalillustration #artivism #artivist #immigrantsmakeamericagreat #immigrantrights
