Arteria Art Project

Recently participated in Arteria 2015, one of the largest public art projects of India, conceived by the District Tourism Promotion Council, Thiruvananthapuram in August this year. I was fortunate not only to be a participant but also to work on a public art project with many established painters and sculptors of Kerala. The pleasure of the experience was enhanced by working on a larger size canvas by trying out a new medium of emulsion, pushing the limit of deadline, watching the curious faces of public while working, beating the heat and working with your own students from 6 am to 7 pm.  The brief was open and I decided to work on a simple theme of ' Elephantine Kerala'.

 

My students Shafeeq, Ashwin Raj, Jibin Raj and Sheethal helping me on the project. And below, me at work. :)
