Sarcasm and Satire on Social scenario.. Duality defined

4s2d.. As the heading goes is the overall extract taken from this Art Show. Ashok Adepal a famous Cartoonist of Gujarat currently working with Bhaskar group showcased 100 cartoon images made digitally but given a perfect look l.. that of paintings. He has been working on the selfie theme since past one year... He has chosen himself to be the caricature, capturing the growing selfie craze which is picking up like wildfire, lot of retrospection and introspection.. Self reflective image of today's scenario on various fronts of society and systems.

On national level RK Lakshman is top of the mind recall... Following this great league, names like Ashok are making a strong visible footprint in their journey.

Just like the front page cartoons on newspaper on one small corner talk aloud about current political scenario ot latest news in the news room and speak a lot. On similar note Ashok has very well captured a 360 degree purview of the current state which is full of duality and hypocrisy..

A picture speaks a thousand words... Pasted as originally taken with bits and pieces of other overlapping pictures. Reality vs editing

We just scream of global warming but are cutting trees... Earth is sinking

Life running in time machine

Last but not least.. Frame to look into yourself. Mirror mirror on the wall".. that's what we mostly miss out while analyzing others. Self view and self talk at times id is the best!!

Selfie in a mirror..

The artist.. Cartoonist, Ashok.

The exhibition was showcased from 2nd to 4th June, 2017 at Hutheesing Visual Art gallery, Ahmedabad.

The Kastoori of Agriculture and it's women

Saturday 22nd June 2019: Agriculture, call it a tradition, an occupation or being part of the nature and our existence with it!! Just like Kastoori or the musk is within the deer, but it keeps hunting outside, similar is with our Agriculture sector. It had always been our primary resource, but we complicated the same hunting outside, making farmers dependant on complex and manipulative processes. We all know that various climatic and financial factors with overburdened chemical dependency has made this sector gloomy, turning down into a compounded cyclical process which has now started affecting the urban too; giving the realisation to human race now to bridge the gap between the two. Farmer suicides and pesticides in food chain with increase in cancer cases is just the tip of the iceberg. Purvi Vyas, Mentor WGWLO & Babita Jain Chair person FLO With such an initiative Ficci FLO Ahmedabad on 21st June, organised an event Coordinated by Shilpa patel , Kinnery Sh
