"Whatever that confronts me I like to paint"


Burning Desire Series

Human behaviour is a situational and it has many layers of understanding. Whether it is analytical, mystical or religious blindness, the male supremacy is the one that governs the social anarchy and its functioning. Humans are always dominant species and this dominance had desired its approach towards other natural things that surrounds him.

"Sound & Shadows"

Rahul Chaudhury had introduced two more sections i) Shadows and ii) Sound. Both the series depicts two distinct natures of human behaviour. His drawings whether it is miniature or otherwise are very delicate study of human behaviour. "What one can say about their own shadows, are they real, or they seems to be real? Are they are your extension or they seem to be your extension? Is it you or it is not?" We all know how the shadows are formed. I am not talking about that right now, but I am talking about the shadows that you create through your thoughts and dreams, an internal shadow. In a different approach the Sound series links the human capability to listen to the unheard. "There is something there in the air but no one but I can listen." Apart from the series there are some semi-realistic works that are random expressions that hit me hard in life.

Some Random Portraits and other expressions  

Under the Burning Desire Series some random portraits and other expressions were created like that of 'Line' where lines on the hand and the head says a different story.  The faith and hardwork.  'Untitled' is yet another human expression of flattery that people indude to get some work done. 'Blood Drop Silence Bomb Drop Violence' is yet another form of expression came directly from a poem by Mr. Mayank Tak.  Therefore, there are different expressions under Burning  Desire Series.

Dead Ear Tree Series  

A new series called Dead Ear Series started in 2022 with some drawings that can be seen in the drawing section. "It is a series of works, juxtaposing the current situation of human race which is on a threat-bed of extinction. NOt from any natural disaster or comet or doomsday but from teh humans itslef. Therefore, ti is imperative to listen to the nature of things that are chaning for a new host to rule the world." Currently, I am into this new series of works on Dead Ear Tree project.
