Day in Art in Action

Taken these in Oxford Art in Action. I can see these sculptures metamorphizing into something in a painting.

Bosen Too

There was an article recently complaining about the fact that "Bosen" of the "Higgs Bosen" has been forgotten and all the credit has been given to the British professor Higgs. So started a painting about redressing the balance a little bit. Working title is "Bosen Too"

Work in Exhibition

Tonight it is raining in the Midlands. Did you know that? And I am on way to Much Wenlock for private view where I have three prints on show. One is vermillion, another is gold and the final piece is deep brown. They are simple and elegant. Look at www.facebook.com/ToscaLahiri to see the work.

Recent Work

I have been working in the print workshop recently. Here are some images:

This is the workshop -











This is the plate for a collograph about a woman in her eighties farming with scythe and sickle -

This is the reveal -










and this is the finished print

Welcome

Hi, I am an artist:I spend a lot of my time thinking and imagining. From this point I then start creating, exploring the media and/or the concept. In this process I make discoveries and I have therefore progressed in my work. I  make a creative mess with paint and ink on canvas or paper and generate more ideas. Idea development and subsequent execution as a painting or print radiates energy.I see things differently; I am an analytical decision maker with a bit of gut feeling thrown in; I adhere to rules where appropriate (i.e. business concerns) but I thrive personally without protocols. From the original "mess" a coherent narrative emerges in my work.
