Gallery Ske

 Gallery Ske

"Give me space, Give me space. Now, give me style to do the space." - Me, in a moment of infrequent enlightenment.

First their site captures me, then the gallery kisses me. Again, Gallery Ske is set in an older architectural home that is in direct contradiction to the current show. Fabuloso! A few weeks at their new location, the gallery is a maiden with fresh paint and little complexity. The current show by Zakir Hussain is a slide into surrealistic realism that helps you read the artist's mind and makes you wonder how the translation happens. Being an artist, I constantly think in tangents but am still awed by others who traverse the sphere with me.

I don't want to detail down his work but it is a must see for anyone who feels art is a language. Gallery Ske is headed into adventure and I am sure glad I caught a glimpse of its coat tail:)

Crimson

This long break between posts is a credit to my preparation and travel to India for a 2  month vacation:) But being that I am in the land of uber creativity and a very porous art scenario, I am sure to find more than my share to write about.
It has been a while since I have walked around without company in Bangalore and reminiscence can be a bitter sweet.

Crimson - The Art Resource : There are two studios located in the very beautiful Hartworks Boulevard building which holds on to the old town architecture with so much flair, it is impossible not to just watch. At Crimson, there were traditionalists and surrealists who held my attention for equal measure. Raghava K K, Sujata Achrekar, her husband Vijay Achrekar, Rajiba Lochan Pani, Preeti Raja........I could keep naming them till I exhaust the list. And the best part, the two studios are at two ends of the walkway through the building and the walls in between are plastered with more art!! Felt fantastic walking down that road!

Thanx Crimson, 'twas a good Saturday stroll for my soul!

Pictures! Pictures!

A big thanks to everyone for making the Vibha Auction at University of Houston, a success!! Here are some pictures:)

Darling friend who helped with everything:)

I owe it all to hubby Raju who never fails to amaze me with his zeal to see me succeed:)

Silent Auction

Check out my paintings at the Silent Auction at the 'Vibha Vibe' fund raiser event. Part of the proceeds from the sale goes towards Vibha's programs for children. 'Vibha' is a non profit organisation that works towards the security of under privileged children through education and better health. And the Vibha Vibe event is a step towards gathering funds and sponsors to help the cause.
