| New Delhi: Recession can be a fertile breeding ground for creativity.
An exhibition, "Celebrating Recession", presented by Mystique Gallery at the Open Palm Court at the India Habitat Centre has drawn its themes from the global economic meltdown.
It is a group show by a handful of young artists - who are struggling to get a toehold in the market. Some of them are new to exhibitions.
A series that stands out is the "Mood of a Rickshaw-puller" by Amit Srivastava, a resident of Gwalior, who has been freelancing for the past three years in the capital. Painted in acrylic, the series captures the expressions of the capital's recession-jolted rickshaw-pullers.
"I have used the illustrations and vibration techniques for the figures of the rickshaw-pullers to highlight their uncertainty and pensive faces. They have two sets of eyes or double eyes and double noses - which reflect their changing expressions, one negative and the other positive," Srivastava said.
The show ends on May 20.(IANS) |
