A dainty but bold watercolor – by (ta-da!)me.
This was done when I was in an wild, experimental mood. I had to do something different, I had to experiment, to do something, anything that would challenge the bourgeois complacency, question the violence that lurks beneath our consumerist civilization, to…to…
Ok, I was kidding about the bourgeois/consumerist bit -I am not interested in playing that game.That is too easy –one can do anything idiotic and and get somebody to mouth the usual meaningless artspeak, say-
Anyway, here are some details:
Deatil 1-
Detail 2-
For more on technique of this painting see the expanded post at My art and art techniques.
* The artspeak is from the promo literature of an exhibition of works by A.Balasubramaniam called (IN)BETWEEN at the Talwar Gallery. Unfortunately there is no direct link to the text – an irritating result of overreliance on javascript popups.
