Bangalore based Tikendra Sahu had sent in these absolutely gorgeous works. They are water colour paintings on embossed paper. Although Tikendra is a Graphic Designer by profession, he prefers to paint. In his works , he explores the relief quality of paper through embossing and plays with layers. He claims that most of his works have a sexual connotation which are very contextual in nature.
amazing work, and good heavens that pair of hands in the first picture was actually painted on!!
ReplyDeleteanything on a white ground catches my attention - these are so awesome! i love the embossing of the paper - love all 3. but don't get the sexual part - but maybe thats just me :)

HI,
ReplyDeleteI saw your blog through artnlight and was amazed and apperciate your effort in spotting in talent.
Through your site I could find so many different kinds of style of work which inspires me to create better work and at the same time giving an oppurtunity to explore new illustrators and photographers in my work.
Do visit my blog whenever you have the time. Would appreciate and look forward to your comments/criticism.

these are absolutely amazing! i love the combinations of colors-- the contrast of embossed paper (seems permanent) and watercolor (feels impermanent). gorgeous find.
ReplyDeletebeautiful and a bit wrong..... makes them perfect!
ReplyDeleteawesome work!! like the idea of painting on embossed surface.. :)
ReplyDeletei actually saw the first picture at a friend's place today, hanging on the wall. i got such a kick out of seeing the actual work and declaring " hey! i've seen that on Masala Chai!"

ReplyDeleteI will be making a trip to Bangalore actually , to meet with Tikendra. Maybe I should pop in and say hello to you!
