artnlight

Sanjay Nanda's work is bold, textural and graphic. Just the way i love it. Each of his frames is an eyeball grabber and the slashes of colour are microcosms of the urban landscape. Unconventionally beautiful & completely arresting.

2009 for me smells of change. There is so much that I'd like to change here and there's so much that I know must change, but I balk at it. So I'll take bite sized chunks & these are the things I'd like to do here this coming year- there I'm saying it in print. Committment!!!! God, given a chance I'd run miles away, but who knows- maybe I'm changing ;)

-Expanding my comfort zone is definitely what I'm looking at, so I will be a lot more open about the things I will write about, less 'No's' an more Yes's will happen here.
-I'm going to look at all colours. Meaning, colours that don't get seen too often on this blog, namely the cooler colours in the spectrum. So here's looking at a cooler 'artnlight' in 2009! :)
-There will be more of my photography, this is something I'm really looking forward to.
-More experimenting, I will be looking at different formats, more designing.
-I will share more of my work here this year, the stuff i do that really gives me joy.
-More people homes will be featured.

I have no clue how I'm going to do all this, but this is the intention :)
And then the perennial attempt, to post more often. If I swing this one, then you will automatically see a lot of the above happening.
I'll get into action right away and kick start the year with a post on blue. The colour of the sky. Think of it, it holds every other below it. God must think pretty highly of this colour if he chooses to paint his sky with it on most days ;)
