Found this unknown artist’s work on a wall in a roadside restaurant – Akshaya – in Dhenkani kottai
The first one was more of what you would expect. Could be better but looks like this was done by a professional.
Perhaps this professional guy broke his hand or his girlfriend broke up with him or got a better gig – we will not know and he abandoned this project.
Now they brought in my cartoon brother – he draws just like me and I was so proud of him – he had continued the drawing on the wall.
You see that cart and cows – that was drawn by the professional. Now my man has taken over and has tried to fill up the wall.
Whenever I draw human figures I struggle and I can see it with this artist. The faces are so damn hard to draw. The hands too. I could empathise with this artist. And unlike me – I draw on an iPad and can make undos- he has to correct it on the wall – could see the corrections at so many places.
But kudos to him – he completed the work.
Seeing the passion I think the restaurant owners gave one more wall to fill – and our man had given his best shot.
While eating I was admiring this handiwork. Even though the figures are little alienish – it’s beautiful in its own way.
When they can stick a banana on a wall and call it art – to me this is better art than the banana art.
Who knows – in a parallel universe humans did have these weird arms and torsos. Perhaps artists like me and my cartoon brother are reaching out into that parallel universe and giving you guys a taste of it.
Cartoon brother – go for it – may you get more gigs and you fill up the walls with your art.
Wonderful
Thanks Dhamo 🙂
