Insta Roar!

" I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter, dancing

through the fire 'Cause I am a champion and you’re gonna hear

me roar Louder, louder than a lion"

While exploring on various mediums, especially Instagram I found something grand and worth sharing.

Unleashed Tiger in Johannesburg 

Leopard breaking free into Johannesburg

What attracted me to this one was the use of colors and the magical effect of the tiger and leopard actually breaking free. The geometric effetc when the leopard is jumping out is phenomenal.

PixelArt

Well, we have seen all sorts of street art wonders now and then. How about when we combine digital designs and art? Ever thought of pixelated street art?
A group of students who call themselves "Wall D" inspired by Walt Disney have gone all out and defined street art in an all new way especially around their college campus (Amity University Noida). They are traveling around India and making a difference almost everyday. What I like most about them is that they are staunch 90's lovers. I happen to be from the same college and had gone out for quick bite to the place where I found this treasure. I found out about them from the very interesting QR code that they had painted right below their artwork, again that was genius. Have stayed in touch ever since and keep tracking their work all around the country. They are going to be a regular feature on this blog but for now check out this fantastic Sachin Tendulkar Wall art by them.

There is more to Art than meets the eye!

Very recently, while going towards Cannaught Place in New Delhi I spotted   something very beautiful, yet hidden from everybody else. I wonder if anyone else has noticed these wonderful pieces!

I immediately got off on that station and rushed to click, sharing it with all of you. Next time if you happen to notice something which others are turning a blind eye to, make sure you capture it. Now these sculpted marvels are hidden because of the over growing trees. The ones on the roof are pretty clear.

Connection

In the popular book series "Harry Potter", there is a fictional game by the name "Quidditch". In that there is a "Seeker", a person who is supposed to catch the snitch a Golden ball that spins and runs like the wind in mid-air, with the blink of an eye it disappears. Blink, is the name of a book written by Malcolm Gladwell, in which he mentions that it just takes one fleeting second to know that there is something, it could be wrong or it could be a point of similarity or difference.
For this post, I am the Seeker, the artwork is the golden snitch and the "Blink" moment is the similarity that I notice, I don't know about you guys. You'll have to see it to belive it.
What happens when two different people, from different places have similar ideas?
What if a third person, sitting in an entirely different place far from them notices it? They don't know, what I know.
Interesting?

Well, you're about to see is more interesting than that.

One is a Street Artist, whose work I recently came across. The other one is an Illustrator and designer based in Phillipines who occasionally does wall art too.

CollabArt

 Collaboration + Art

Since time immemorial we have been seeing multiple types of collaborations, but off late we are seeing them in the most unique situations. One of the recent one's on which I stumbled upon was "Street Art" and "Home Design"
Yes, you read that right!
Somewhere in southern Tel Aviv, industrial designers and street artists are joining hands to come up with the most creative collaborations of all time. The interior designers went to the most active street art hubs in the city and placed a blank canvas here and there. Left them for a couple of days and the let the magic do the trick.

At first, they were disappointed because the canvas was left blank with no action.

But soon, there were some pencil sketches and like I mentioned, magic started taking place. What followed left me speechless.

Firstly, the collaboration itself excited me because the possibilities are infinite and yet to be explored. Secondly, when the designers did what they did with the artwork was simply fantastic.

Prepare to be amazed!

Masked Buddha : New Delhi | India

By Yantr (instrument)

Long before I had a phone or camera I used to cross this particular village in New Delhi, named Khirki. It led to one of the top-notch malls in the city. There was something about this that made me stare at it without realizing where the time went. I've been seeing way before people even started noticing street art in Delhi. Thanks to my friends house being close to this place, the day I got the first chance, I went about clicking this piece from every angle I could. 

"From every angle it's perfect and not just the art work but the message hidden behind that mask."

Irony is, it's painted right in front of a garbage dump. 

Next time you visit Delhi, be sure to walk across the village to see some great work by Daku (Indian Banksy) and Yantra 

Yantra named himself perfectly and even works towards it. Truly and instrument to change the world. What better way than art itself. 

Correction - What I perceived the mural to be was not the actual though behind it.
