Abstract

This article acknowledges the Covid-19 pandemic to be a global tragedy that has claimed many lives. In the midst of these tragedies, Malaysian artists enhanced their adrenaline creativity, offering the subject matter on about how to protect themselves, the invitation to wear masks, guidelines on how to wash their hands, and a variety of other themes when working from home. Correspondingly, the ASEAN Digital Art Society or ASEDAS has made a project that is known as the Virtual Digital Arts International Exhibition, which has been organised in 2020 based on the theme of Covid-19. Thus, this research is to study the visualisation of the artist-created artwork. For this research, the theoretical framework from Edmund Feldman which is the four-step structure of criticism consisting of description, analysis, interpretation, and judgment will be used. The result of the work highlights many unique local potentials and is involved in enhancing creativity in a time of pandemic.
