Kanchan kapruwan


Artist -Kanchan Kapruwan

She scratches day and night for hours.  She turns her hands and guides her fingers to let her ebbing emotions grittle her solitude.

While people her age are mostly busy untangling the threads of their efforts and accomplishments,  she carves the intricate channels holding the thoughts firm, deep in sandstones and lithographs creating limited prints of individual origins 

Align - center for Art

#AlignCFA

The world is a diverse unit, which is why our work starts by giving everyone the opportunity to participate towards a cause.

It means not only treating people with respect and courtesy or listening and responding in a helpful way but also contributing towards unlocking the pottential and channels towards the best in people.

With a consistency of trust and responsibilities, effective relationships are known to work for every advancement. Nature is a two way exchange as we learn from all those we interact with and they learn from us.

Like a key that may unlock the world's pottential it is the essence of being inspired.

Aligning with the centre of Art and culture is an inspiration for any towards mutuality and efferent ingenuity, simultaneously. In a paradigm that Art is the culture and culture is people.

In a lifetime, we all carry around a personal exhibition of experience and perceptions. Its the Art of living.

Beyond fine lines and abstracts of colour, art is the insight of an existence. Political science is just as much an art as drawing circles. It is the process of thoughts taking shape that we eventually consolidate into an understanding guided by our senses.

 As leaders, we may understand our responsibility to deliver excellence and setting standards for ourselves true to our values. These values are not just beliefs. They are the possibilities of a better future.

So we begin by drawing the beautiful picture, of tomorrow.

living walls


living in a wall otinflewer

Wall completed in 4 weeks using charcoal soft pastel and black ink.

Our view is to separate the gradients, but in nature everything is a one whole form.
As we evolve, the product of our evolution is instilled in things we construct. We establish these products as our beliefs. Ever building.
In everything there is something beautifully tied one to all as such, that the one that can, touches the chords as per its desire.

I realize how the only purpose of our thought is to build a script of possibilities. Almost like life is micro tool placed in an object to make it possibly pass through time, experiencing it in a varied way, travelling to the very moment of origin. Just like the entire universe, a life dances a moment reflecting everything around it inside the conscious and subconscious perceptions we experience, right from the moment of origin, till as far as it can go in the universe.


Life happens when something, a mixture of cells and organs etc., is capable of tracing back in its contents, the events and possibilities that have occured ahead in their time and accordingly capable of maintaining and using this content while time travelling from the begining of everything till its end.
Every think we accumulate becomes of a purpose, that is how we progress as life. Otherwise we are floating matter like everything. It is only from the reflection within that the mirror can reflect further ahead in time.

A Buddhist Design - Otinflewer

Buddhism teaches love for beings, nature and ideas alike. It is only with the acceptance of two particles that a bond exists giving birth to or creating the ascending fractions of our universe. This binding, over a period of time, results in the face of evolution in the ever changing and ever expanding universe
The purpose of life, not ours alone, but of every form of desire and will that exists, is defined not on the basis of their function, ability, communities, regions, perceptions or the view of their world  or of those around it. A purpose to life is to be part of everything that has grown till late, to able to relate with everything that existed and to grow further, till nature, in its truest physical, chemical and biological hierarchies, can take us.

We often speak of our possessions and our earnings. But seldom we realize, our only true belongings are half a cubic meter of restrictively malleable bodies programmed to unimaginable efficiency and possibilities and an apparently random amount of time to live by. An after life can be anything, but not you who existed before death. Many forms and beings have disappeared with little hope of reappearing within our lifetimes. In their afterlife, their worlds are away and distant from our beliefs and understanding.
With the two though, we can create bubbles of possibilities within this fabric of time and space, expanding with the course, clinging to every other bubble that it doesn’t poke and burst, adding strength and momentum to the universal tumble and the possibility of growth.
Everything exists in singularity at a given moment. As long as one can relate and pair or share, or bond or empathize with another particle or existence, they remain in a form, function or belief, evolving with the spanning time and continuous interactions with the other forms and possibilities that exist at their time creating patterns of decoration in their stories.

Winter garden Marc Quinn

Winter garden
Marc Quinn
Pigment print


In an epiphany of versatility, the prints from this collection, have a lustrous saturation of light and color, exploring the persisting leitmotifs of Marc Quinn's artistic prelude - life and death.




Winter garden features flowers from efferent parts of the world, voluptuous in a bloom, installed withstanding the cold dormancy of snowflakes in abundance. Strikingly, the flowers chosen do not necessarily bloom at the same time of the year.

Jullian Opie - Winter

Exhibition at
British Council Gallery
17 KG Marg CP New Delhi
May '15 till 25 jul '15


Jullian Opie is a British contemporary artist born in 1958. He spent time at the Godfrey college of London from 1979 to 1982, studying arts. In the winter of 2012, accompanied by his young son, he visited a pastoral field at a country side in France.

As he walked across a circular path on the field, he took photographs after every twenty steps. Drawing reference from dutch landscape paintings and google street view, he then compiled the exhibition "Winter", composed of 75 digital inkject prints laminated to glass, from the walk.



He is likely to have used some kind of layering and photo modification software for development of the final prints in a true inter- disciplinary style. The music for the exhibition has been composed by british musician Peter Englishby featuring the voice of Aneila Opie, Jullian' wife.

In an essence depicting the changing landscape with movement, artwork is composed of a dominantly green pallet and strikes a chord with the constraints and calmness of the Winter. In the press release, it been termed as a 'harsh but beautiful day'.

Like the earth, while spinning, entralls in a circle to be in orbit around the sun, drawing its golden light in paradigms of changing seasons, Opie has already produced the next in series, Summer, which centers the same location but a different time. It has a vivid and energetic lush.
