November Concentration







Concentration Semester

Untitled
Just Getting A Break From The Hectic Life.
Religion As It Was.


The Late Nights
Its Getting Smokey Here !
What Happened To Prostitution ?
It Goes Till 5 Am In The Morning
Busy Rides


I chose my concentration theme as the modern city life as we all have experienced it, and how all the busy people, city lights, late nights and the pollution and the rush kind of amazes me. As i love lights, the complication of traffic and all the things that are consequential in the cities, I will work on artworks compiling them. I also want to show the bad part of it, how people have forgotten about other many important things such as religion, environment and their ethics. So I basically want to show how this modern world is and also how it has its positive and negative aspects.

Final Resubmission















My concentration is focused on personal memories from various times in my life. Moments are fleeting, and our memories are often the only reminder we have to keep. Although my concentration is called “Black & White Memories”, I always have one element in each piece that has color. The color serves to highlight parts of my subjective memory that stands out. I combine both drawings and photographs in my concentration. This combination helps me to portray memory in all its variations.

a·nach·ro·nism : The representation of someone as existing or something as happening in other than chronological, proper, or historical order. For my concentration theme, I chose anachronism, which simply defined, means something that is out of the time. For me, art should be timeless, therefore by juxtaposing objects and situations from another time to a contrasting one, I think I can achieve a body of work that is humourous, bold and innovative. I plan to experiment with colors, art styles and art subjects with a central theme that combines the past and the present, the old and the new.

Re-edited Concentration : Surreal Juxtaposition



The topic for my concentration is surreal juxtaposition. All my paintings have topics and metaphors of their own but are united by the fact that they share a human character interacting in a surreal setting. The latter half of my works are all done in the Japanese “super flat” style and are all illustrations of sentences scribbled onto the artwork itself. I use personal symbols and imagined characters throughout the work, at times repeating these symbols to create my own iconography.

Semester Concentration













My concentration focuses on the pattern. This includes same objects repeating and mixed up. I started with pieces that's more realistic; objects that people can easily tell what it is. But starting in the middle I started to make more abstract such as one object's parts mixed up, so people have to find out what is the object.

          My concentration focuses on the diverse potential outcomes of Buddhism. With my pieces I explore the various ways in which this religion would shape itself in the obscure future. Would Buddhists adapt to the drastic situations of the world or would they be driven to the edges to survive even in the most severe settings? When modern technology intensifies to an entirely new level and when culture and religion no longer rule the lives of the people what would the world look like? The aim of my concentration would be to focus on how my religion, Buddhism, would transform or adapt in the technologically dominated future.
