This Full Moon: Image and Text by Nehal Devi

Digital image of traditional Indian miniature reworked by Nehal Devi Original: Krishna and His Family Admire a Solar Eclipse, Kangra school, India, 1710 - 1778;  from the Freer + Sackler Collection Jyeshtha Purnima, This full moon Give up your seeking. What you seek Is seeking you, In a way far beyond You or your seeking. Remember, when you see the Moon today Thousands who are seeing too. And in that seeing We are all connected. This full moon, knowing The isolation is an illusion, And in that knowing We are all connected. by Nehal Devi Nehal Devi is a yogini and an artist, who expresses herself through varied forms: painting, performance and moving/still images. She explores the seemingly paradoxical relationship between Nehal, the ‘self’ identified with her name and form (the relative ‘I’) and Devi, the unchanging unidentified ‘Self’ (the absolute ‘I’). Her work focuses on I-I.

A Quick Check in with Unnati Singh

I'm a big fan of Unnati Singh's artwork and have presented work and exhibit announcements by Singh in the past.  Here I want to take the opportunity to post a few images of current pieces the artist is working on. Unnati Singh is an Indian, multi-disiplinary artist currently based in Mumbai. "Her new works are a probe into time now . An exploration  into the accelerated pace of the current social and cultural fabric.  Blending material and methods, she keeps an experimental approach. Her current process establishes her ongoing dialogue between conscious and subconscious, between painting and reproduced images , between virtual and real."  You can keep up with Singh and her upcoming projects on Instagram , and  Facebook  . Below are details of new works in progress . . .  * All images provided by and  © Unnati Sin...
