Now calling a child or youngster “chubby” can be demeaning to them, for even an eight-year-old knows all about body-shaming
Every action has a reaction
"Resin is a versatile medium and an artist can experiment with it across mediums like boards, canvas, wood and furniture as long as it is a sustainable and strong base," says Sanaa Merchant. And what does resin painting involve? Mixing resin and hardener. "A chemical reaction takes place, causing the liquid resin to gradually harden to a solid plastic," she says. In the end, the result can be either clear glazed or pigments.
Let it pour...
"Call it fluid art, liquid art, or acrylic pouring, the results are uplifting and dreamy," confesses Shadab Khan. In love with the vibrant use of colours, psychedelic elements, and resulting abstractness, Shadab equates the process to a meditative experience. "Using fluid acrylics is like looking into a crystal-clear glass, and sitting back to hear and watch them (elements) closely," she adds. As they move according to their will, one has to simply let them go!
How does one tame ink?
When artist Sonu Sultania sits down to work, she has no idea of the outcome. "Alcohol ink, by nature, is unpredictable and that's what made me fall in love with this medium," she says. The highly pigmented ink can be diluted with isopropyl and is also known as brightly coloured dye-based paints. "Using different shades of inks and watching the chemical reactions create a work of art is magical. At the same time, it means I have to let go of my control (over it)," she adds. Sonu describes playing with the medium as a therapeutic process, which blends meditation with artistic ideas and helps one create something that explores one's inner world.
While the beauty of these psychedelic works may lie in the eyes of the holder, the 'uncontrollable' nature of these elements do play a big part behind-the-scenes.
