Hello all. I am participating in a group show which will be held in Dec from 8th-11th. I am pretty excited about this show as the theme of this show is the collaboration of verbal and visual artists.
In this theme we are to give two paintings...one artwork will be inspired from the poem of their partner verbal artist and and the partner will write a poem inspired from my painting. I found it very interesting as i believe this enhances your skills as an artist. Both the artists are crossing the borders between the mediums and builds a bridge which connects these two artists. This collaboration initiates an engaging open end dialogue . I am sure that the result of the collaboration will be such that no one voice is louder than the other and each will contribute to the discussion and each will be read and viewed equally by readers and viewers.
My partner is my friend and a poet ,Madhavi Apte a homemaker who is really good in creative writing. We have selected the theme of our collaboration as REFLECTION. I believe when a poem is written in response to an art, it becomes a way of seeing the art. It’s like seeing a reflection. As reflection is a fusion of your inner self and reality.
Recently I have taken Indian ink as a medium to experiment. The artworks for this exhibition are in this medium and I have used the pointillism technique here. i am really liking to work in ink medium though itI find it challenging. below are the two paintings. These are the reflections in the water. I will post the poems by my partner in the next post.

“Like water which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees only so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the true image of the Self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed.” -Indra Devi
