LOLLIPOP LE LO LOLLIPOP, KHATTA MEETHA KHOONI FASCIST DRIPPING LOLLIPOP...

LOLLIPOP LE LO LOLLIPOP, 

KHATTA MEETHA KHOONI 

FASCIST DRIPPING LOLLIPOP

The devil himself disguised as a man, smooth talking and cunning to the core, suddenly stopped the tired looking me on the path of democracy. I was seeking answers to my smudged out dreams of success and goodwill. Suddenly I realise this devil was selling something, I took a short glance at his merchandise, he was promoting very dark and pretty mischievous but extremely tempting lollipops.

Lollipops are our weakness as humans. Sweet and sour, that's what he was loudly mouthing out. At the same time thumping his fifty six inch chest, a gaudy showoff.

I asked for the price of the tempting goodies, he said it's for free. But asked for my soul in exchange for those mischievous lollipops. I sold out my soul for a lollipop and I regret later on. Still crying in the corner of my failed and much injured body, lying on the ground. The lollipop was poisoned with fascist dubious ideas. It was laced with the venom of hatred and bigotry. So powerful was the poison that I lost my credibility as a human being at the very first bite.

I regret my choice and hate those lollipops to eternity.

MONOCHROME DAYS

Video Documentation of all the Works

#MonochromeDays, #SoumenArt, #Monochrome, #WaterColour, #Paintings

Started working on this series of monochromes in July 2018. These are really recent works on paper. The temptation to challenge myself with a monochromatic approach to the contemporary dualities of our surrounding was overwhelming. Had to address to my inner calling to capture today’s reality in monochromes. The world seemed to me in that tone only. I see today’s reining-societal hatred and crushing of human rights in a more precise magnification while using the aperture of monochrome. Humanity and its accessories are depicted in an absurd and twisted scenario in this series. Sometimes it’s all ogres or it’s totally insane to perceive. Brainwashed and injected with hatred with act like automated morons. The images are all reflection of what my senses absorbed from the world at present. The brutality is somehow subdued with the monochrome splashes. 

“MONOCHROME DAYS” is my answer to several queries on how an artist can portray political and societal madness and nonsensical tyranny in a more aesthetic way. But doing so, not loosing the soul of the narrative. The limitation of of the colour spectrum is required to reinvent myself and my sense of line and colour. As an Artist I find it hard to believe that one can’t invade the web of hatred and bigotry using mere lines and limited colours. I hope I met the challenge honestly. 

Enjoy the monochrome days…
