The proceeds from this art series will be used to build a support system for art initiatives for other artists including shows, workshops, awards, and grants over the next three years, explains Manohar. “I was travelling to New York before Covid-19 happened, when I returned to Hyderabad I began thinking about what to do as an individual for the art community. I have been doing the series of large-scale artworks for a decade under the project called Manohar Collective, so I made this Hope Kosmos series a part of the project. I invited people who are not from an art background to paint with me over a three-week period. The whole thing is about the entire creative experience and to inspire people to take up the painting brush,” concludes Manohar.
