The Good, Bad and the evil – Visions translated into Art forms

"An artwork gets made on its own...." Piraji Sagara

....no plans hence unique.

We all as individuals are pieces of art crafted by some natural, supernatural and human powers... this is what exactly this Art show is all about: “Eternal!!” as these powers are, so is Piraji... eternal! and his art which is still living.

We are living in era of mobility, mobile phones...Piraji through his paintings has actually crafted mobile HERITAGE. He amalgamated various mediums like bead embroidered fabrics, various forms of metal pieces like nails made of aluminium & copper, burnt wood, burnt adhesive. All these are layered, painted, polished, carved, drilled, charred, framed and installed at various galleries to relive Piraji.

Each piece is clearly a mix of life and life beyond, the forces which control life, five elements, God...

I could spot an art piece holding carved flying creatures on which clearly reflect feelings of freedom and liberation which is a constant driving force of soul or life energy, the force which helps us chug forward leaving behind the smoke of charred fuel and the adhesives that binds.

Moving forward is the sole agenda of a creative soul...

A line mentioned by Piarji in his book is, “An artist does not make a thing, it gets made by him. There is no print in an artist’s head that he follows. That would be a mere copy of work. It demands to be made. An artwork gets made on its own”.

On very similar lines, I have got this realisation, we need to tune into with the source of our existence, those pure forms of energy.. then; with no plans we just float with creation our creator, smoothly and effortlessly, instinctively, lovingly....

Instincts we all are gifted with, but do we really make use of it?

Something again which attracted my attention the most, that at Piraji’s place there was always work of creation on... no one ever spoke on monetary aspects, about trade affairs, buying and selling. An artist trusts his own existence and his creator and creations.

Above article is on works of Piraji Sagara under title "Remembering Piraji", showcased at Kanoria Center for Arts - Ahmedabad from March 17th - 29, 2017

Dubai - The Greener Pastures

Its not just Oil and Gold, a New world economy, booming and buzzing, attracting all global markets to buy home, setup business and live in a place which is now the new Centre of attraction, to setup Global Headquarters. The Millenial tower - Burj Al Arab Indians have forgotten Canada and US (seems so..) especially after the setting up new Trump norms... so where do all heads turn and why? 1. Distance : Travel time from Delhi to Dubai is 3.5 hours and if we talk about Gujarat, Punjab, Kerala and Maharashtra they are geographically more towards the west, therefore the travel time to The Emirates is even lesser than any other Indian town on the extreme corner. Therefore, Dubai travel is cost effective and easily accessible. 2. Visa : Relaxed norms with consultants from both countries growing in numbers to assist Indians settle in Dubai, both for entrepreneurs and job seekers. 3. Population : Potential of any economy to thrive lies in its people, Population thus holds biggest Poten...

Upcycle Concrete

Upcycle is an interesting "GREEN" practice nowadays followed by many!! For goods and commodities its good, but in the era of shifting sands, preferences, fast evolutionary changes, the need and demand for more excitement the malls, unlike old markets, have a very short life span. A decade is quite long, then they slowly organically fade out. Ahmedabad, unlike the metros is quick silver. The life span of malls is shorter than those in metros.. few which have swept off infront of our eyes in two decades are; Gulmohar, Fun Republic, Gallops etc. Gallops though with best brands, infrastructure couldn't survive the cost concious market. Two days ago I happened to step into Iscon mega Mall, Mega like the word suggests, its gigantic. Reliance hyper market was inaugurated on 15th August 2006 by Sh Mukesh Ambani, it was his big bang entry into retail segment. In this mega structure, today hardly 10% area is functional, rest is all unused. If Westside and Reliance are functional...
