About the artist ……..

 

Born in Delhi on 1st November 1971 with a diverse experience in exports, outsourcing and curation, it is the love and passion for art that has always motivated him to create. According to him, it is as if the artist is born over and over again with every new work which is created. Having received no formal training in the field of art or design, he rigorously trained himself and continues to do so. His art continues to evolve over time and the works show marked phases. A break away from the mundane his artwork continues to delve into his imagination, emotions, and thought; intermeshing his varied interests in arts, architecture, history, and spirituality.

   

Statement…

 

My work is about emotions and as to how I feel, its transfer to the canvas, it revolves around the subconscious mind, perfection, desires, Sufism, and a longing to be reborn after death or perhaps never die………

 

She was posing for her friend. I think she was parodying a yoga stance.

What does it mean for an artist to “survive” in a tough economic climate? Can business ever be “bad” for a diligently working artist? Making an honest living ---in a group show like NO OTHER, these artists, some legendary and some suitably hungry, will dissolve the line between utility and luxury for an exhibition entitled, "GO GET YOUR SHINEBOX".

 

If you’ve spent time in a "third world country", you’ve had a chance to see kids carrying ingeniously designed work boxes, set up for

shinning shoes. We find that the variety and exuberance of these objects perfectly captures our world climate.

 

With the global economic downturn and the hardship it has caused blue-collar workers throughout, we find it fitting to explore the

world’s simplest way to make a living— SHINNING SHOES. We are planning an exhibition around just that-- SHOESHINE BOXES.

 

However a "SHOESHINE BOX" should not be taken in the most literal sense of the words. These objects, our inspiration, have all been created out of necessity- a need to earn money, or further, to survive. We push “the need to survive” beyond its literal context, commissioning our favorite established and emerging artists to design their own, "SURVIVAL BOXES".

 

A shoeshine box is a medium, a framework, the boundaries of which have not been pushed ...till now.

However a "SHOESHINE BOX" should not be taken in the most literal sense of the words. These objects, our inspiration, have all been created out of necessity- a need to earn money, or further, to survive. We push “the need to survive” beyond its literal context, commissioning our favorite established and emerging artists to design their own, "SURVIVAL BOXES".

 

A shoeshine box is a medium, a framework, the boundaries of which have not been pushed ...till now.
