Vietnam calling
In Vivek Vilasini's digital archival ink on canvas work titled 'Mind the Gap', he has portrayed General Wong Neo Giang Giap, an officer in the Vietnam army who fought and defeated the French and American armies, while his other work Untitled 'Holy Bible' is based on the actual existence of a Bible. Says the artist: "Both my works are an anomaly because Vietnam being a small country could resist such powerful invasions while the Bible, covered in camouflage, reminds me of the historical period of the crusades."
All that enigma
George Martin PJ's acrylic on canvas paintings titled 'A Touch of Elegance' and 'Looking For Closure' enact an enigmatic drama of contemporary life in simple urban situations.
The creator captures the outer layer of urban spaces that reflect the post-modern sense of reality.
"Interaction with our urban surroundings is the basis of my consciousness. There are many touching incidents that make me agitated and prompt a spontaneous artistic reaction," muses the artist.
