Psychedelic Art

After lights, water took my fancy. I forced my mother to assist me and together both of us created a storm in a bowl and the end result were these psychedelic photographs.

Rajiv Gandhi Handicrafts Bhawan: Tribal Artwork

If you go to the Rajiv Gandhi Handicrafts Bhawan in Connaught Place, you will find a lot of walls of the complex used to display tribal artwork from various parts of the country. This is one of my favourite displays in the complex. I like the simplicity of the artwork and the use of bright colours.

Dirt Art

Once a doodler, always a doodler. This is a sketch which I spotted on one of the dust laden water drums on the terrace of my office. I have no idea, who did this. But could identify with the person who would have had had a dirty finger after drawing this masterpiece, since I have been known to doing something similar on the dew laden windows of my car. Will bring my masterpiece some other time. Until then enjoy the Dirt-Art!

Art: Two's Company

Artists and their work. The man is a photographer, Agnimirh Basu, who recently displayed a series of nudes at an exhibition. The lady is his wife, Arundyuti Basu, who is a painter and also models for her husband. I have known Agnimirh since the last five years and it was a pleasure to meet him after a long time and see his work displayed on the walls. I wish both my friends the best of luck for their future. :-)

Fallen Art, IHC

I loved this sculpture, carved out of a tree trunk at the India Habitat Centre (IHC). But was sad to see it fallen on the ground, waiting to be carried out. Till the time it lived there... it was well loved and appreciated.

Some more photos to bid one of my favourite sculpture a goodbye.

This Too Is Art

Its difficult to refrain from passing judgment, when something as un-attractive as this is passed on as ART. I truly believe that art need not always be beautiful, a scene of murder with blood and evil all around can also be art... But this... this was disappointing. Luckily not all the installations at India Habitat Centre are this bad. In fact some are outright awe-inspiring. Will post more in the days to come.
