The Sattva Art House is a really wonderful and calm place. It’s housed in a 100 year old bunglow in Whitefield, Bangalore. It is filled with children learning to paint and express their inner creativity. This show is hopefully the start of a long and artistically satisfying journey for me. I am looking forward to conducting workshops at their center over the next few months. Will keep you all posted as and when that happens.
Till then, I leave you with a few images from Sattva this morning.

If you in Whitefield, Bangalore…then come on over.

I have been busy with a lot of stuff over the last month. But, I did find some time to paint. These new pieces have been added under the ‘Kitsch’ section. There are also three new paintings added to the ‘Watercolour’ section. And I finally updated the ‘Furniture’ section.

 Yes! I have been busy.

I also thought I would leave you with a few images of the plants I have around the house.

Syngoniums- Kitsch'd

More Syngoniums...

 
And here are 2 mixed media/collage flowers that I did a while back. They are now in my son’s room.

Yah, I know there seems to be more press information and less work showcased. Actually truth be told, I am grateful to god. I have had  great response to my work and almost all of it has sold out. That was the good part.
But, the last couple of weeks  I had the beginnings of an artists block so I just took time out to chill and rejuvenate. It helped that my daughter started school and I had to sit outside her school for a few weeks to help in the ’settling down’ period. I also did not want to create something just because I knew I could sell it. So I spent the time working on some new ideas, some pen and inks and some sketches for future paintings. As and when they are complete, I shall post them.

My son Mansher. He is 6 and a half and a bundle of energy. This portrait is done in acrylics and is approx. 10×12 inches.

Mohit and Reena recently shifted from their Diamond District home in Bangalore to a new place in Delhi. They asked me to make a Khiladi table that would also serve to remind them of the fun times they had here in Bangalore.
I decided to make a table based on the  rough architectural plan of Diamond District (DD). The central core has chess and snakes & ladders. The Main game is based around the walking path at DD.  The penalties and rewards of the game are based on various parties that they attended or hosted and also on the personalities of their friends and neighbours.  There is also a built in ‘?’ mark based game for their four year old daughter.
The flip side to this table has a complete felt base with four pockets to play a modified game of snooker/pool!
The pictures are a representation of  just a small slice of their memories…
