Complex Nutrition

Caption Of Artwork: Living in a materialistic environment and being pre-occupied with material possessions – where goods are equated with happiness, success, and personal worth. I explore the reciprocal relation that I share with the objects round me. I analyze the engagement that takes place with the objects. This delves me into an absurd area of imagination where the composition of the objects is different from as it appears. I constantly think of the precise line between necessity and desire.

I prefer looking up to the regular object from the surroundings. The range varies from containers, gadgets to printed objects like magazines, newspapers, books and photographs. The information these objects holds conveys a lot about the functioning of the surrounding.

 In my process of making I experiment with watercolour, pencil colour, acrylic and earth colour. Sometimes I glaze oil to give a colourful misty effect. Some areas of my work carry collage kind of effect.

In this work the visuals is from everyday life where I have purposely used wires in place of some delicious food focusing on the disturbed idea of purity. The clash between want and necessity is being questioned and the false notion of truth is looked upon.
