Say Cheese

The world seems fast and everyone is on the move to be the next trend and the talk of town, the young people especially. This takes a toll on their mental well-being, yet they still keep the cameras up and pretend that all is well. Also, this painting captures the nothingness in the structures we have built or that has become the order of the day: the low attention span and less attention to details, we avoid longterm gain for short term pleasure. All these are a scary pointer to the fact that if we are not careful, we may not be remembered for great strides and long lasting impact.

Artist Statement
Every attempt at an artwork is like holding a tablet of destiny in my hands, with the freedom to make of it what I want, every brush stroke having a message, coming together to make the painting a living entity. Despite painting using photo references, I do everything possible to capture the unseen elements: the energy, the rough texture of nature, the uncertainty of life and the subjectivity of outcome. All these are evident in the heavy brush work and suggestive strokes in my works.Though I would not want to be boxed in the 'isms' of the art world, my works are somewhat a blend of Impressionism and Realism; They combine the spontaneity of the Impressionists with the colours of Realism. So we could call it "Impressionistic realism". My works could however, take a different turn as I look to place priority on the painting than on nomenclature.
