La Galerie du Bois- The End of the Earth: Mail Art Exhibition

yaeahhh!!! Pictures finally.
thank you Rainbow Ross for the images.
Brittany occupies a large peninsula in the north west of France, lying between the English Channel in the north and the Bay of Biscay to the south is also called finis terrae, this is only geographically.
' Finis terrae- the end of the earth' is a art show curated by Rainbow Ross, it includes the work of students alumni and faculty of pasca. I feel so happy to be a part of this show. After spending a fantastic semester there I always feel there is a bit of Brittany that I carry around with me. More pictures of individual art work here. these images here are from the show at the le Galerie du Bois in Pont Aven.

   The More Loving One
    Looking up at the stars, I know quite well
   That, for all they care, I can go to hell,
   But on earth indifference is the least
   We have to dread from man or beast.

   How should we like it were stars to burn
   With a passion for us we could not return?
   If equal affection cannot be,
   Let the more loving one be me.

   Admirer as I think I am
   Of stars that do not give a damn,
   I cannot, now I see them, say
   I missed one terribly all day.

   Were all stars to disappear or die,
   I should learn to look at an empty sky
   And feel its total dark sublime,
   Though this might take me a little time.

Wire City series

This body of work explores the intersection between the physical construction of cities and the society it breeds.

I have been interested in the urban villages that are within Delhi, I did not understand them when I first moved to Delhi, they were not really slums, Sib had pointed them out and explained it to me, The objective of having these urban villages was not to disturb the dwellings of the villagers and therefore keep it out of city planning norms, but over the years what have emerged out of it are rather little pockets of complete chaos.

The people living in these villages are marginalized; they hardly have any access to clean, air, water, electricity, drainage systems or sometime even basic sunlight. In the other hand, the idea of such urban villages is unrealistic because they ignore broader social and economic realities. The ability to create self-contained villages within a huge metropolis city is questionable as employment and activity patterns continue to become more complex.

Otherside of space

The most exciting part for me is when a work of art in progress. It is sentient, 'Work in progress' is a flux than intermediate stage, it is evolving, growing, ever changing and continuously leaving it's mark behind.

study

These are from a very distant past. drawing these are such a thrill. may be soon enough I will start figure drawing all over again.

Sketches and drawings

corners

spaces truly intrigue me. they reside not only in the tangible world , but also in the mind.

spaces

This work draws heavily from my memory – snapshots of what I have observed and experienced. These are not vivid images – but interpretation of places and people as I define and understand them, sometimes real and quite often, imagined. Every painting to me is an extract from a story, a part of a narrative. These are pauses, which have followed from a train of thought wandering to another place or time.

my sporadic posts continue here..... these last few months have been very very exciting indeed. I have pushed myself in all directions. I have my first ever art show (group) coming up on 3rd December at CIAC gallery, in Pont Aven, France. and would love share some of the work that is going to go up (though not all of this will be up for the show)

new

I keep hoping that I would make regular updates on my blog and make it more interesting, engaging and critical of the things that I am up to. I guess I will just have to begin a new one for my recent work that I have been doing. I am doing post-bachelors at PASCA, in France (http://www.pontaven.org) , and would like to share some of the more recent work that I have started getting into. these are all oils on un-stretched canvas. sorry again, this is all in such haste.
