In-clay-dible
Originally uploaded by kartiksurbhiThree aclaymed artists in the family, Mahy (2 year old prodigy) and her uncle and aunt (Kartik and Surbhi), united to carve out some of the finest clulptures that had the admirers in rapture. A motley of artwork consisted of rolling pin with its base, a plate, a glass, a bucket, a spoon, a car seat, a soup bowl, a rickety table, a boat, few coins and a couple of dahlias.
The exhibits have caused a stir in the arts fraternity who have been befuddled by the sheer lack of coherence in the exhibit. Why did the artists chose such diverse exhibits? What message are they trying to impart? Is the message of hope or of despair? Is it mirthful or melancholic? Luminaries of art world are gathering to find an answer to this conundrum.
Readers are welcome to hazard a guess and contribute their interpretations. Should your answer bring an end to the eternal quest the sculptors have embarked on, you will be idolized (no pun intended).
Whatever may be the interpretation & the reason ( like loss of your baby sucker at the age of 1 !!) it looks colourful & pleasing to the eye!
ReplyDeleteGreat effort by the trio! The chakla-belan can be rechristened "weapons of a homemaker" or even "Idol warship!" In fact, at first glance, the car seat looked to me like Pankaj Udhas giving a Ghazal performance in his Lily-fresh voice, wearing the trademark shawl across his chest!
ReplyDeleteAnyway, Mahy's effort is far more "concrete" than mine when I was 5 times her age. I had "crafted" a camel that looked more like a goat with a hoof, lost in the desert!
I thinks the artists have tried to show the different facets of women, the kitchen utensils depicting the home front, the car seat - all the work done outside, the flowers - all the people they help blossom! The empathy for women shown by the artists, brings tears in my eyes!
ReplyDeleteGreat work of art and safety conscious too as i see a colorfull seat belt
ReplyDelete@Kitoomal - LOL! Your camel not being recognizable by your patrons must have got your goat :).
ReplyDelete@Deva - the art fraternity is going to very happy with your deduction. Be ready for accolades :).
@Pranavbhai - Thank you so much :).
TWO flower on RIGHT side TOP in ONE pot resembles Kartikbhai+SB... happy and smiling.
ReplyDeleteA papa's son chair (in middle some where... pink in color) with guitar(yellow in color) lying on it looks very much like the one that was there in Chicago and Seattle...
