“It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does, rather than what he says about his work.” BRIEF: To celebrate visuality and the incredible power of images that is capable of transforming a space and the mood it inhabits. To try to create a space, which allows for visuals to stand alone without being weighed down by concept or context. By saying this, I am, in no way, diminishing the art that stems from or responds to a certain context or concept. I feel an image deserves its due and its individual existence needs to be recognized and respected. When I look at an image, my first instinct is not to try to decode the meaning behind it; in fact, I tend to enjoy the colours, lines and other visual elements before I go onto meaning making. A lot of times, I feel that reading too much into an image kills the joy of rejoicing in it. I believe that an idea is enough to transform into a visual; conceptualization is not necessarily a predecessor to image making. It can work for some while for others, a more impulsive approach works. Raymond Lemstra, a Dutch artist puts this beautifully, “They (images) come to existence intuitively, and demand for a context once they exist. I do not conceptualize much. To work with a well thought out plan just kills the joy of executing it.” I like how hand painted advertisements on walls do not require one to unravel the meaning behind the images; the intent is clear and effective – to grab attention and not get lost in a buzzing, crowded marketplace, and convey what the product stands for in the most basic way. Hand-done hoardings of astrologers, roadside dentists and bonesetters have always caught my eye. Their renditions are not anatomically accurate and this crude appeal is what makes them pop from other things in their surroundings. Their application of colour is interesting as there is no hesitation in using loud and highly saturated colours; there is no holding back. In spite of employing bold and raw visual elements, these adverts are not visually imbalanced.


In fact, they make for great images. At the same time, they are representing strange professions – it is absurd (and dangerous) to get teeth fixed on the roadside. This lends a slightly eccentric element to these adverts, which I, personally, find very intriguing. As a visual artist, I like to work with multiplicity and variety. I like to draw things that are visually complex and form dense and heavy compositions. Density facilitates in creating warmth and closeness. However, it can also sometimes create claustrophobia, which again evokes a strong reaction from the viewer. The idea is to make the person at the receiving end feel the effect; an effect. It is to make sure that there is a response from the audience and the image does not get lost and go unnoted. Old faces, wrinkles, lots of detail – all these enable me to engage in the labour of replicating them in my own way. The after feeling of labour, which comes after ‘making’, is a motivating factor for producing work. Recently, I have been gravitating towards images that are absurd and not bound by logic. When something from outside is placed in a new setting, it lends playfulness and makes the image light-hearted in a way that everyone can access it no matter where they are coming from as all of them are equally detached (and attached) from the idea. It is alien. For this, I tend to lean towards employing the facility of juxtaposition in image making as it allows me to keep totally unrelated objects together and create something new. It is like a collage in the way I interact with content, not as a medium to convey the content. In this whole practice of trying to create a space where images are self sufficient on their own, I intend to find my ground – my influences and motivations. I hope to locate the underpinning for my work. I want to explore answers to questions around the awareness of where every artist comes from as well as exploring various other approaches to image making apart from the ones I am already familiar with. This will involve studying their work and trying to understand their processes, themes, and


motivations. Even though I feel that delving too much into the work of an artist might feel constricting, I am ready to give it a try. RESEARCH QUESTIONS -

Why is the ‘why’ important?

-

How is the process of making without questioning wrong? Is it even wrong?

-

Can decontextualizing be an approach to image making?

-

Where does impulse come from? It definitely comes from certain influences that we engage with on a daily basis but can we/ should we make a conscious effort to guide impulse?

-

How important is it to study the work of other artists?

-

Is it necessary to be aware of where you are coming from?

-

Can non-adherence to the above two lead to stagnancy?

-

Visceral approach v/s intellectual approach in image making

-

What are the different ways of creating density and volume in work?

Emerging themes Even though I feel I have to do a lot more work in order to understand what inspires me and where I am inclined, a skeleton pattern seems to thread my work together. This includes playfulness, departure from logic and bringing something unexpected to the space. I like to introduce random objects into new contexts. It’s a lot of fun to confuse and baffle people. It is a powerful response, I believe. When one’s curiousity is tickled, they tend to engage more with the artefact because they try to find an answer and that ensures active participation.If not anything, it manages to capture their attention and bring itself to notice. After all, any kind of publicity is good publicity.

Assignment #1 Postponing the ‘why?’ The brief was to come up with something, anything and not question ‘why?’. It was allowed to facilitate fluidity in the flowing of creative juices and not become obstructions in the passage of thoughts. I remember feeling liberated and relieved in pursuing this process as it allowed immense freedom and meant I did not have to halt and check if my ideas were fitting the bill as there was no bill to fit! However, I also found this freedom to be daunting as it is hard to find the point of origin of ideas in the event of limitless freedom as there is no stimuli to respond to.

Assignment #2 Visualizing Sound After collecting sounds from the area around Cubbon Park, these sounds were to be translated into visuals and again, the process of not asking ‘why?’ was observed. On listening to the sound clips for the second or third time, I started getting a sense of being inside the digestive system of an organism. I could imagine myself going through an esophagus which had tentacles and then through a slicing/chopping machine and other things that you would find in a Roald Dahl book. I enjoyed this exercise much more than the first one as there was some prompting from the sonic material – the outset of an idea was already suggested.

Man with chopped finger; painted on 9’x 3’ chalkboard

26


Warming up My first visit to the station did not evoke much feeling. I wanted to inhabit the space and see what I could engage with upon spending time. I chose the spot where people spent their time waiting for the train on the platform. The platform was swarming with guards who whistled every few minutes because a commuter would cross the forbidden yellow line. So, I decided to paint a person with the head chopped off, which came about as a result of lack of space on the board. I started off directly with paint – no chalking or pencil drawing. I did not fix on any idea before starting; I began intuitively. Upon finishing the piece, a lot of people were reacting by saying the man resembled the guards and his attire looked similar to their uniform. However, some of them were getting agitated by the chopped finger and head. The idea behind chopping the finger came from an attempt to explore the concept of losing or missing something.

Exhaustion & Labour The process of screenprinting demands exactness and attention to detail in the completion of its many steps. There is a sequence that needs to observed and the amount of time being spent on things respected. All of this involves manual, physical labour. At the end of the day, it is satisfying to know that the target to print a certain number is met and the exhaustion that follows is extremely rewarding. To be exhausted at the end of the day is an indication of a productive day. It is to experience the finality that follows resolution and/or completion which becomes the motivating factor to produce work.

‘Lost Manners’

Lost manners? In the initial series, there was a set of posters called ‘Lost Manners’ which used the imagery of the middle finger. However, it was found to be inappropriate for a public space like the metro station. As a result, it was decided to not display it but I have still not found the right place for it! I did have my apprehensions about this particular poster because of its controversial content but I still printed it as I wanted to see if it would be permitted in a space like the metro station. After all, the best way to know if something is working or not is to do it.

Coming up with the entire series Even though I was enjoying the process of screenprinting, it was time-consuming and tedious. I decided to focus on the content of the images and outsource screenprinting to a local vendor. This involved going around scrounging for vendors, comparing prices and bargaining before finally fixing on a screenprinter. As opposed to my former belief, it still remained a task even though I did not have to screenprint it myself as I still had to chase the vendor and persuade him to finish the prints on time. I decided to do a series of 7 lost posters and 7 corresponding found posters.

Wall plastered by posters at Cubbon Park Metro Station

62


Close up of the wall

Before going outside the metro station, I wanted to do a similar intervention inside the station as I did not want to leave the commuters of the station bereft of closure. I laid out the posters in a manner that asserted them to make their connections. I placed the pairs of lost and found close enough for the viewers to match as they saw them.

63


Final Thesis Project | Antra

Poster Pasting in the city I decided to mimic the existing poster-pasting practice of repeating the same poster in a tight manner so that they are adjacent to each other. This is commonly seen in vernacular posters of political agenda or feature film posters. The repetition ensures that these posters do not escape or slip out of the viewer’s eye. It guarantees impact and effective communication. I, personally, feel that the streets which are inhabited by these posters also come alive because of their boldness and striking nature. Again, much like other vernacular stickers and adverts, these posters are not irresolute in their usage of colour or type and in their relationship with form; nothing is half-hearted, in fact, it is like a celebration of whatever they stand for.

I liked the gorillas with no background as it was lending lightness which was helping create the effect of levitation. However, I was not completely satisfied with the piece – there were some suggestions to give the gorillas a shadow but I was not very keen, which in retrospect feels like a stupid thing to not have done. So, I went ahead, knowing that there was a possibility of it turning on its head, and painted the background lime green. As it turns, the image started looking heavy. The weightlessness disppeared with the white of the background. But I realized that it is better to get up and make changes rather than sit and contemplate about whether or not to make them – it is good to be moving in any direction than be stagnated at the same point without stirring at all. I do regret putting lime green in the background but I am also slightly happy that I was not scared to try it out.

The idea emerged from the facility of repetition that was employed while pasting the lost & found posters in the city. The facade of the shop is such that commodities are stacked together in a manner similar to these posters as they too use the language of repetition in their arrangement. The idea is to package commodities that do not have an existing branding in place or offer the opportunity to shed their current packaging and don a new one. I will be looking at hot chips, packaged drinking water, etc. I want to sell intangibles(or ideas) by means of selling tangibles in reality. For e.g., selling superpowers – a variant of hot chips makes one resistant to slipping on wet floors, another enables one to be invisible in mirrors, etc; selling secrets, and so on... This intervention still has to come together in its full form.
