india art fair

the india art fair is a visual explosion (an implosion too), an overload of sensory perceptions. sculptures, photographs, lithographs, silk-screen prints, paintings all vying for one's attention. and there i was swimming in its immensity; floating along leisurely among the exhibits whilst stopping and staring, picking free artwork and generally people-watching. made a hurried exit after three and a half hours of the art attack.

Art/Artists i liked (not genre specific):
  • Lenticular prints- i like the 3D effect it creates
  • Amit Pasricha- photographer
  • Ranbir Kaleka- photographer
  • Miro-painter
  • Amitabh Kumar-ultra-violet painting on stainless steel
  • Sachin Tekade- paper cuts
  • Heri Dono-painter
  • Ajay De- charcoal paintings
  • Manu Prekh- silkscreen on  paper
  • Laxman Goud-painter
  • Uma Singh-sculpture
  • Rimzon-painter
  • Jyoti Bhatt- painter
  • JMS Mani- painter
  • Harshil Patel- painter
Art ideas:

Place sepia-coloured photographs on artpaper mounted or cloth mounted cardboard frames and then get these framed. Looks great on a wall when placed in a series.

Art do:

SAVE SAVE SAVE to buy original art prints by jogen chowdhury, m.f. hussian and the other grand daddies of indian art. Bottomline is that high art can be affordable.

Miro is also exceptionally handsome and has a very beautiful partner (I forget her name) who is also a painter.
