Lost in lace

 

I am highly fascinated and surprised what lace can do & I am looking forward to use this technique in my art work.

Oil on canvas by Pablo Picasso 

I like this piece of work because he has constructed this images by using geometric planes, and represented objects from different view points.

Picasso made two plaster casts of the head, from which at least sixteen bronze examples were cast. I am highly impressed with his work & looking forward to use this technique in my art work.

Grayson on His Bike

Turner Prize winner Grayson Perry is to make a pilgrimage with his childhood teddy bear Alan Measles on highly decorative Kenilworth AM1 motorcycle, with a shrine on the back for his teddy bear for his inaugural voyage to Germany. Grayson dressed as a young girl ("puffy sleeves, big petticoats, white frilly socks"). Perry has designed certain aspects of the machine himself, including wing-nuts with teddy bear details. He had  spent his  troubled childhood in suburban Essex creating a fantasy life where he fought off the brutish invading Germans, under the command of his teddy bear Alan Measles, a plucky wartime Resistance leader who became his hero, a sort of personal God and the embodiment of everything that was good about masculinity. This inaugural voyage, 10 Days of Alan, takes them across Bavaria on a mission of reconciliation with their old enemies.

 

This programme was great help into the great minds of today’s work, the idea of creating a god like character is amazing and inspiring. I am eager to meet him.

A son of Shiva and Parvati, Ganesha is one of the most popular of Hindu deities. Known as the Lord of New Beginnings, offerings are presented to him at the start of any new venture or journey. He is also the god of wisdom and learning. There are several myths surrounding the reason that Ganesha has an elephant’s head on a child-like body. One of these says that Shiva was away when Ganesha was born and on returning to find a male youth at his house with his wife, he cut off the youth’s head. When Parvati told him who the boy was, Shiva offered to bring him back to life. He asked one of his servants to go out and bring back the head of the first thing he met, which turned out to be an elephant.
