CHRONICLES OF V



This small documentary film on my solo exhibition, "CHRONICLES OF V," will engage you with the reality of our times. This is a great effort and execution by Suvankar Nandi of Chota Mota Productions. This young filmmaker put all effort to make this documentation in video a complete success. I endlessly believe that this how ever small, representation of my art will make you sit tight and do some retrospection. The soul searching will lead by integrity and courage. This series of drawings on paper is suppose to culminate into a complete visual journey of every individual, of some consequence to the existence of human soul. Watch this video play of the reality of our time. Live life with courage, with conviction. Live a life full of new hope and dreams. Always believe in the power of your conviction. Believe in art and complete your journey in this materialistic sojourn of ours. This series is for all those people who believe in the power of the common man's voice for positive change. This is a fictional parody of our time. It has nuances of satire and tragedy, both interlaced with the application of drawings to create the ultimate visual drama. The common mans’ fight against the different social diseases or malice is predominant here. It's satirical depiction of social upheavals and voices for justice and freedom around the world. 
It's the contemporary fight for change for political incumbency as well as economic insecurity. Funny, yet true in every sense, the drawings will definitely make your heart aware of the predicament of the masses. I hope you enjoy the exhibition here, in the virtual world too. 

All works were done on paper using pen and ink. Size, variable.


Thanks to Suvankar Nandi of Chotamota Productions (Delhi), for his great effort and creativity in making this short film a Success.

V - Series on paper

'V' 

'V' here stands for Vendetta and Vigilante. My series of B&W drawings and paintings are inspired by the English movie of the same name. The common mans fight against the different social diseases or malice is predominant here. It's satirical depiction of social upheavals and voice for change around the world. It's the contemporary fight for change for political situations as well as economic security. Funny yet raw in essence the drawings will definitely make your heart aware of the predicament of the masses. The common man acts as the vigilante here, voicing and fighting against oppression of all kinds.
