It is window art this time.

Love these ladies at the window by Subhamita Dinda. Similar to one's by Santhana Krishnan's art on doors, these are more into portraits of women.

Door Paintings

A year back while holidaying in India, I had come across the brilliant art works by this artist....K.R.Santhana Krishnan from Chennai. His work known as 'Door Paintings' are inspired by the entrance to houses in the agraharam(place where the bhramins live) on his way to his college, in his home town of Kumbakonam. It's amazing to note that every little details has been worked out so well, be it... the advertisements or the oil stains upon the lamp spaces on the walls, the house number, the turmeric or kumkum marks on the door, the texture of the walls etc.! And its all about what you see when you peep into a house. My special liking is towards his mixed media work which could be a replica of real doors! Done on wood with accessories like lock, knob/handle etc. they look real! And he does these in various sizes from a 12 x 18 to almost life size! I am inspired! You have to check his works at Door paintings.

 The acrylic  paintings...

 The mixed media wonders....

     My favorites! Do you notice the peacock handle in door 1 and the lock in door2? And what about the sculptures carved on the door frame? Wonderful..... aren't they!

Water colour .....Indian brides.

These water colour paintings of Indian brides by Cate Parr are really adorable!

  

Images of the paintings are from Etsy. Must check out the rest. The illustrations of women are wonderful!

Art By Aarohi

Kitsch Art by Aarohi the desi version of  Pakistani truck art and the colourful Mexican art or can we say pop art? Each piece is interesting. The artist has taken very simple, uninteresting things and subjects and made them very interesting! It's just not kitschy it's arty kitsch!Animal,birds,flowers, people,gods,etc anything and everything Indian has been used in her art. Friends, you must take a look at her site for her complete work.... "Art By Aarohi"

Could anyone think that these subjects can make such interesting art?

When Ganesh ji can change his vaahan, why can't we change our perspective in art definition.

Our good old trunk has more uses now.

This balti is no more going to be kept in the bathroom!

Even the chai wala's possessions have great value now! 

These chairs where otherwise so out... whatever! It's now so cool!

Coffee table and games table...not one but two games!
