Le Grove de Bambou and some ART !

Now I know that a lot of serious artists and serious art world people will not take mere 'illustrations' like mine seriously. " These drawings are not conceptual" they will say. "The inner you needs to come out!" they will suggest. As one very serious Art Historian, a PhD in Art History, pointed out to me at my exhibition of charcoal drawings - " your work is too beautiful. It is exquisite.You need to do some 'kachcha pichchi' (Kannada slang for make a complete and utter mess) and then your work will become Art!"
Well, for once in my life, let me take myself seriously and make some Art (mere illustrator that I am)!

Here are the rules:
1) Create incongruity (only, don't call it that, call it conceptualization).

2) Create MORE incongruity (the inner you needs to come out!)

What the **** are bamboo, mobikes and tomatoes doing in the same picture you may ask. Exactly! That is the very point of creating Art. It is to bewilder. Or, to put it in the right language - it is for you the audience to project your interpretations onto the picture. Go to any art gallery and look at the paintings there. You will see a trillion times more incongruity than you see here. 

And if you the audience still cannot project your inner interpretation onto the canvas, try reading the catalogue they hand out to you...(yes, yes, those things are full of 15 letter words I know, but you see, that is what 'interpretation' is!) 

3) Add lettering to show that your picture is profound! Bring your culture across! Indian lettering is even better! Foreign grants might flow towards it!

Aaaah! So Arty!

4) Now the title! Use words like inner, tree, pain, heart, woman, darkness, voice...you get the idea?

Well lets see....hmmm...how about Inner Voiceless Darkness

Very good I say! Sha bash! Now to Point number 5...

But the pedants among you are going to interrupt '...but what the heck is a tomato and motorbike doing in Art that is about Inner Voiceless Darkness? 

Well, if you still don't get the point of this deep and profoundly meaningful picture, then I have done my job. 

I can now call myself an ' Artist' !

But...but...

HUSH you nitwits!

And finally! The most important point of all!

5) Never EVER forget to add an outrageous price to your Art

Price for this picture: 75 lakh rupees.

Buyers can leave their contact details in the comment section. The rest of you can leave your inner interpretations there.
