Exhibition of Callygraphy

28. oct 2021






Calligraphy is a beautiful work of art that connects language and lines.  Tamil is one of the oldest languages.  Thirukkural is an important work in Tamil literature.  The letter   “zhagaram” is significant and difficult to enunciate.  Calligraphy has developed within Tamil via literature, religion, culture and commercial art.  The letter O is an aesthetically beautiful vowel.  I look at this letter and see a face or a mask.  This provided the opportunity to transition from “no face no name” art siries to calligraphy.

Résumé

Ce documentaire « culinaire » réunit des cuisiniers non professionnels, anonymes, parisiens de longue date mais originaires des quatre coins du monde. Ils sont sept à se partager la vedette, à tour de rôle : Vasuhan est indien, Aly sénégalais, Michèle est belge, Joan vient de Californie, Dashka est mongole, Marcia brésilienne et Mme Sato japonnaise. Chacun a découvert, une fois installés à Paris, des goûts inconnus et des plats surprenants. Tous se sont adaptés mais évidemment ont gardé l’habitude de cuisiner « comme au pays ».

Painting is just another way of keeping a diary. -Picasso

Everyone's life is an epic, the memories of struggle, success, smiles, tears and relationships are added to the self image of me and mine to harden our ego, and there is a constant struggle to keep this ego safe from eroding in the tough hands of time. Giving these memories a form of image, color or even words, gives reality of the moment a longer shelf life, I like PB Shelley's Ozymandias for the same reason ( Please correct me if I have understood this poem wrongly). Lucky are the people who can store their memories as a painting, like my friends Priya and V.P.Vasuhan, we frindly call him Vasu) Today I went to the opening of Vasu's Painting exhibition, with my friends, it was a great day for Vasu. I don't understand the much of modern art, but the artists who were present told that his paintings are the reflections Indian subcontinent, and his struggles in a big city. Thats V.P.Vasuhan, with his painting Dances with Rats.
