Ever since I can remember, Graffiti and murals have always drawn me a little more than other conventional forms of paintings or art. A lot of you, possibly, feel the same way. Maybe it’s because of the surprising places we find them in. In a school parking lot or, perhaps, a lonely desolate wall behind a tea shack. Wherever you happen to find them, graffiti and murals have always been an artistic statement. That is why we bring you these four incredible artists who, more than anything, have been making statements with their creative pieces.
Sneha Chakraborty
Sneha Chakraborty’s artwork has an intense colour palette to it. From sunset yellow to midnight blue, Chakraborty shades each of her pieces with colours that help them stand out. From cosmic turtles to desert dwelling camels, Chakraborty’s art is characterized by a tinge of the unknown and a heavy dose of the lives and places she already knows. What’s more, is the fact that Chakraborty does not seem to restrict her work to a certain genre or theme. In her work, you will find an eclectic mixture of tribal design, traditional practices and, perhaps most importantly, her own signature mark.
Himanshu Arora
Arora’s work is based majorly on pop culture aesthetics. That is not to say that it derives from other sources. Rather, it is a unique blend of Arora’s own interpretation of what he sees around him and his experience of the same. There is a direct influence of the cartoonish in Arora’s work even as he creates some incredibly elaborate pieces. Through his pieces, Arora manages to give tangibility to the very idea of contemporary art.
Mamta Singh
Singh is, possibly, one of the few individuals who has managed to fuse the art of doodling with the medium of wall art. You know those scriblings that you find at the back of notebooks and on desks, the kind that seem too precious to be left in the space you found them in? Singh’s work is reminiscent of that. It’s the kind of artwork that is characterized heavily by aesthetic discipline. Go through some of her pieces and you would understand just what I mean. Singh does not overstate her work with an exaggerated colour palette. Rather, she lets the monochrome speak for itself.
Kartikey Sharma
Kartikey Sharma dives deep into the abstract with his artwork. Sometimes, that invites the possibility of overcomplicating a piece. However, that’s not the case here. Sharma’s work is clean and precise. There is an emphasized focus on design in his artwork that would meet the standards of even the most meticulous individuals out there. Think artwork for Pink Floyd albums and you would begin to understand what Sharma is trying to convey through his artistic pieces.
