"Wisdom Lines" series : a self-reflection

I am not in the right frame of mind to write an article on this series. There are some willing friends who would be glad to write a few words on this topic, but I prefer not to burden anyone. Machine writing 'cremates,' my natural language and dilutes my ideas, and it often uses clichéd language. The intent of this article is to cluster all works in the ongoing series into one place in order to reach potential collectors.

Wisdom Lines, as I call this series, is only a placeholder name. There are about 35 artworks presently. For each drawing, it did not take me more than 2 minutes to complete. I strongly believe that the purity of thought in the mind sparks inspiration in us and leaves us immediately; hence, the more time an artist takes to create art, the less pure and inferior it becomes. This is my personal observation.

My previous exposure to classical Indian sculptures, generic art forms like kalamkari and Tanjore school of paintings,miniatures from the Northern region, and a lot of kitsch that I have seen must have influenced my style or the selection of subjects in creating this original art series.

They are intended to be minimalist drawings. I have eschewed colour, form, shading, modeling, etc. As usual, I have distanced myself from realism, nor have I shown allegiance to decorative elements.

The art of Marc Chagall and Manjit Bawa may likely peek into your brain while you look at this insignificant body of work.

This series is the result of a profound inner urge to create radically original work. This artist knows that there is no pre-existing demand for such pieces. He also knows that the prices for original art pieces are abysmally low. The strategy is not to sell cheaply because I am considered less skillful, nor is it an attempt to implore customers. The real reason is that I want first-time art buyers to acquire my art. Think of me as a subsidized shop that the government provides rations to for the impoverished.

All artworks are miniatures, mostly A5 size, except for a few that are A4. Each artwork is available for sale for 1,500 INR.  You may share this article with like-minded people; comments are appreciated.
