| About the Artist |
At length one shell cracked, and then another, and from each egg came a living creature that lifted its head and cried, “Peep, peep.” “Quack, quack,” said the mother, and then they all quacked as well as they could, and looked about them on every side at the large green leaves. Their mother allowed them to look as much as they liked, because green is good for the eyes. “How large the world is,” said the young ducks, when they found how much more room they now had than while they were inside the egg-shell. “Do you imagine this is the whole world?” asked the mother; “Wait till you have seen the garden; it stretches far beyond that to the parson’s field, but I have never ventured to such a distance.
- Hans Christian Anderson

sanity / records
2005 mixed media 69.8 x 54.6 |
|
It probably started from something Lou Reed said long
ago 'It's the music that kept us all intact ... kept
us from going crazy. You should have two radios in
case one gets broken'. Only in my case the local radio
had a limited scope. This one charts my pursuit of
sanity. It's also a record of the times - and all that
went into collecting records. |
Negotiating the Prejudices
2006 Acrylic on Canvas 69.8 x 54.6 |
|
One man's interest is another one's prejudice. A
laundry list inspired by Lars Von Trier's Five
Obstructions. |
The Kindness of Animals
2006 Acrylic on canvas 101.6 x 76.2 |
|
Buddha recollected his previous births as recorded in
the Jataka tales. The list of these previous births
reads like Darwin's theory of evolution, only that
it's the progression of an individual soul. This work
draws from these implications and our vividly violent
recent past. |
Stalker (for Eadweard Muybridge)
2007 Acrylic on Canvas 76.2 x 101.6 |
|
The benign welfare state keeps tabs on it's wards through statistics. The abstractions of statistics and the specifications of the individual. If there is a destination, where are we headed ? |
Man in a hurry sees a blur
2007 Acrylic on Canvas 76.2 x 101.6 |
|
The 'modern' disease. Things that appear similar, things that are actually similar. Things that have lost their original meaning. The mind is a chain of thoughts. |
Everything is Within
2007 Acrylic on canvas 76.2 x 101.6 |
|
The laundry list of the smaller universe. A self potrait. prakriti. purush.
