SIGN - an art show

Sign, an art show conducted by a group of fourteen young artists at Indigo and Laburnum art galleries in Cholamandalam Artists Village, Chennai... draws to a close today.

The artists have taken a fresh approach to conveying the signs of conflict in life today. Predominantly influenced by the metro and its intrusion into our minds, the artists have tried to capture in images this very intrusion using new media and mixing techniques.

The tip of a cigarette smokes away in the room corner - an illusion caught on red board and cottonwool.

swimming figures from an installation, a pool with dying fish, fashioned out of a log...

You copied my tree of life! is a painting that causes the viewer to reflect on ownership and possession...

The sculpture of matchsticks reflects on post-retirement blues... a bizarre state of mind heaping on the floor charred matchsticks...

A painter searches for peace within the leaves of a forest tree...

Experience is just baggage - is the visual claim of one artist who displays an installation of a bag laden with bits of coloured paper...

An artist has the role of stirring the minds of a civilization and making them stop in their blind hurtling rush towards development. Sign - has the impact of the artists' effort.
