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.

Green Coffee – the new bean... to sweep that sugar clean What’s the wait for.... go green!!

Going green is not only the tag of environmental health but also one for the health freak community, a fad that is growing... unlike a viral that in the era of net is healthy but this green going viral is anti- oxidant!! Last few years, a decade, to be precise ,witnessed that green tea and various other ‘avtaars’ of these leaves, Chinese in origin, have captured a big space in market shelves, be it Super markets or just a nearby small ‘kirana’ store. Most recent ‘Green’ tag carrying its own bouquet of benefits in the health conscious era is Green coffee. To focus more on its primary health benefits, lemme begin.... after going through the research papers, I would thrust on the bigger aspect - Diabetes over weight loss benefits.
