Said out loud in English it sounds like \u003cem\u003enothing is wrong\u003c\/em\u003e. Both readings are true, which is the closest thing I have to an honest description of myself — someone who can still feel ashamed of his past and also tell you, plainly, that he is okay now.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eI used red saree fabric and tinted it blue rather than sourcing blue saree to begin with. Altering the cloth was the point. It lets me leave my own mark on a cultural symbol instead of only inheriting one.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is another grid piece, pushed further into abstraction by a pink flower growing out of the figure. The mark making is the most expressive I have allowed myself — thick impasto oil laid down, then carved back into with coloured pencil.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe figure stays semi-representational on purpose. I am trying to paint a personality rather than a likeness, and a personality does not resolve into a single image.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\/\/\/\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a 1 of 1 original. No prints of this piece will be made.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe work comes with a certificate of authenticity and ships in a natural oak frame.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you'd like additional images or to learn more about this piece before acquiring it, email me directly at nashid@nashidchroma.com.
