SKETCH BOOK STORIES



My stories are for you all, just walk about with them and surely you will be surprised. Splashing my thoughts on pages of this sketch book was not a mere performance for me. It gives me delight to my soul and to my dreams.Some are on your face images, some just play with your doubts. But none is without a story. It's my solemn affair with my profession as an Artist that compelled me to come up with this body or to say properly, had an adventure with my thoughts and the materials.

Right from pen and ink, pastel, acrylic or charcoal on paper are there to explore. The combination of soul, hand and the tools, turn a mere piece of paper into something magical, at least for me!
I missed no moment to enjoy my affair with this sketch book.

GOOGLISED ART


INGLORIOUS BUSTERD, Pen & Ink on printed paper

Rightly said by some art critics and curators in India and abroad that art is now more global than ever. It's more influenced or just taken from another source.....credit to the internet. Now that we are exposed to millions of images on the net and all that is easily accessible to artists of all genre and ages. Art students in different colleges and polytechnics now rely heavily on the net rather than on their imagination or instinct.

Just with a simple click get more images and ideas than a normal human brain. Soul is dead and mouse is ruling the art world now. Manipulate, collate, crop, chop or simply filtered images are painted or drawn on canvases. Fuck the real artist inside you...just surf baby, that's the motto of our time.
