Mariposa
Bare bodies of women concealed with motifs of birds and butterflies. Nishant Dange from Mumbai, through his paintings in charcoal titled Mariposa brings out the apprehensions attached to sexuality through subtle portrayals of the nakedness of female body. These strokes of charcoal on white paper highlight the magic and sensual beauty and of the female form, giving birth to the hope that it will wipe away the world's darkness. Sparrows and butterflies symbolising a range of emotions divulge the temptations, sufferings, losses and triumphs related to the concept of love. The extensive use of black and white with a liberal dash of grey effectively brings out the chiaroscuro a work of light and dark adding an aesthetic effect to the stark nudity.

Wire, switches, sandal soaps and other electronic waste juxtaposed with one another creating abstract images, that's what Krishnaraj Chonat has tried to create in his latest collection, titled My Hands Smell of You. The collection focusses on rapid urbanization and the waste deposits that are being created all across the world. Through these sculptures he not only hints at the lack of scientific recycling but also brings out the social and ecological issues that are involved. So if you are somebody who realises the flip side of modernization, then these art pieces will have you put your thinking cap in the right direction.
