THE MYSTERY BEING AN ARTIST

 What really makes you call yourself an Artist?

Dwell into this everlasting query of mine and realized to take my mind a little deeper into the unknown, than the normal being. Artist is not a single word. It’s a combination of so many moments of revelation, that I seized to explain any of them.

What it feels like to wake up every morning with a mind full of ideas, banging the wall of your head with their bone crushing urge to conquer the world. Sometimes vomiting the excess glory through one’s moments of loneliness and tears of lost love. Being an Artist is like on a never ending roller coaster ride, through the wilderness of uncharted territories of one’s fears and doubts. That flicker of hope always urges me to chase it to the last. The edge of excellence is so beautiful and unnerving. Yet, I always try to touch that with my invisible fingers of art. The mind of an artist stroll through the uncharted lanes and by-lanes of every day life. Get inspired by the ordinary to create the extraordinary.

Talking to yourself to understand the lines and colours better is not a mere practice, it’s a  ritual of excellence. That’s the mystery of being an Artist. With a more severe urge for heart wrenching exploration still waiting…!

THE UNDEFEATED



Poking my mind with a question,
To defeat time.
Seldom being answered by the almighty.
Towards the end of a session of madness with colours,
I suddenly realised to delink my mind from the body of hope.
Screamed out my fears of failure.
Fought the nightmares to the abyss.
Embraced the golden sword of hope,
And become undefeated!

Cedric Van Eenoo, from the United States of America has exhibited his works all over the world and the only country he has not exhibited in is India. So now he is here with his abstract creations. Black is dominating colour of his work. In smaller sizes but with ample abstract emotions.

Prakash Das Khandey, is exhibiting his realistic works of Indian themes. Very rustic in nature. The works are very colourful and also in B&W. Figurative in nature.

Rajesh Kumar Mishra, is experimenting with water colour on paper. Very surrealistic works, dream like. Very subtle handling of water colour.
Sanchit Jain, is a young artist of this lot. Still learning her tricks with art. But with lots of promises.

Santosh Kumar Sahani, a real gem from Darbhanga, Bihar. Very rustic flavour and honest with his canvases. His fisherman tales are full of pain and surprises. It's very deep with emotions. The canvases are colouful but at the same time tells you a journey of creative endeavour.
Shyam Sharma, a senior artist from Delhi is showing his drawings with pen of faces on paper. One can see the intensity of mixed emotions among the faces.

Soumen Bhowmick, is a another artist who is deeply rooted with social and economic issues. Exhibiting his works from CIRCUS of The ABSURD and CLOWN HEADS series here. All the works are on paper. Handling issues close to his heart only and being truly honest with them.

Veerpal Singh, is a photographer and digital artist. Showing two of his digital artworks. Monuments of Delhi and its people are very dear to him. Always experimenting with his themes and technology.

Vikrant Singh Rathore, from Rajasthan is another of our artist showing his canvases with ample spread of colours. Abstract and geometrical play of images on canvases are his forte.
