Fusing Cultures

Wow ! very nice and informative post . Thanks a lot for sharing such post.

While these images are interesting as both artistic experiment and beautifully colourful images, I'm not sure how they qualify as "fusion of Indian culture, a postmodern hybrid." Process of painting and photography in these manipulated images divides West and India. Hybrid can be seen as "salt and pepper" where you would be able to collect original condiment or "the colour green" where the former primary colours cannot be seen. Strong division between colour and black and white images, paint brushwork and photographic realism separates as suppose to fuse two cultures together. I’m afraid the process rather becomes shy from oppressive or demurring point of perspective. Correct me if I'm wrong, but painting were done at India in 2014—I'm bit concerned as why identities of these "Rajasthani artists" are not known. The painting done by Rajasthani artists becomes decorative and flashy. Is cultural hybridity about decorative carpet rugs and table covers?. If anything, these images look like that of two different worlds going on simultaneous without interaction. If only that was the case. Some images are lovely experiment of colouring on bookplate.

Those are all fantastic! Great selection. Glad I joined all art.
