Artwork of the Week

Words are unnecessary,
so very unnecessary,
because today
I present to you
the first song to ever be
featured as a part of AoTW.

Artwork of the Week

Out of the blue.

That's quite the comeback for this chapter that I started sometime back.

This AotW offers a different take on things.
Is what we perceive to see really in fact what is there to be seen?
Or is there always another viewing-angle;
another set of eyes to view things through?

Artwork of the Week

It seems that as though, for these past few weeks, all my posts comprise AotW's, with intermittent thoughts that stir in my mind.

I have, of course, myself, and only myself to blame.
I just haven't been in the right frame of mind to express myself.
No, it is not writer's block. Its a thirst for inspiration.

And on the quest for stimulus, I came across this poem that changed something. So as the first poem to ever grace AotW, I present it to you, as how Wordsworth would have intended.

I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud

I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.

Continuous as the stars that shine
And twinkle on the milky way,
They stretched in never-ending line
Along the margin of a bay:
Ten thousand saw I at a glance,
Tossing their heads in sprightly dance.

The waves beside them danced; but they
Out-did the sparkling waves in glee:
A poet could not but be gay,
In such a jocund company:
I gazed---and gazed---but little thought
What wealth the show to me had brought:

For oft, when on my couch I lie
In vacant or in pensive mood,
They flash upon that inward eye
Which is the bliss of solitude;
And then my heart with pleasure fills,
And dances with the daffodils.

William Wordsworth

Artwork of the Week

Hello dear readers. This week's AotW caught my eye instantly, when I first glanced upon it. Might I say, its probably one of my most favourite posts to date.

The simplicity of the ivory backdrop provides a perfect platform for the unique piece to stand out. And the colours seem to emanate off the geometrical shapes, with such fluidity.

The human body is a beautiful thing.
A woman's body is even more ravishing.

This week's AotW celebrates the exquisiteness that is the female form, juxtaposed against vibrant hues.

This week's piece is very simple, but that does not take away from its brilliance. I'll let the picture do the talking.

Artwork of the Week: Dedicated to Victims of the '04 Tsunami

Another Friday, another post (but this is no ordinary Friday). Anyway, it is so very strange how when I was reviewing possible pieces to put up here, the ones that really caught my eye were riddled with images of the ocean in all its form.

Call that chance, or whatever you may, but I feel otherwise. So, in memory of the many many thousands who lost their lives in the 2004 Boxing Day malady that was the tsunami, I present to you this week's piece of art that struck something, somewhere, somehow.

Title: From my window IV

P.S. I really could use this guy's work every single week because it is so stunningly beautiful, but I try my best to diversify the pictures. Also, please do no forget to tell me how you interpret this piece, or anything really, about this work of art.

Artwork of the Week

I know its not Friday, but seeing as to how I missed last Friday's posting, here is this week's artwork of the week.

This piece depicts so much imagery and is so potently truthful in these times.

Please do leave comments on what you think of this picture, and what it does to you. Its really welcoming to hear how one single picture can mean so many different things to various individuals. That my friend, is the beauty of art.

I'm about an hour late, but here it is. I think the best thing I like about this piece is its title. And the fact that its really really cool.

Artwork of the Week: A Prologue

This is just something I've been meaning to do since I've started my blog. So I shall get to it.

This shall be a weekly section which will be published every Friday (hopefully), in which I will showcase a particular piece of art that has piqued my interest.

And as I write this, I am quite certain that I will not adhere to these terms (see, now you know a little more about me *wink wink*).

It may be a piece that has made me smile, made me think, or has raised my eyebrows.

It may be in vivid colour, or exclusively black and white.

It may be a painting, a photograph, a song or a poem.

Nothing is off limits, as art is well, art.

I may come back to an older post far off in the future and possibly hate every aspect of it, but that's basically what this section is about.

It will show something that at some point of time in my life, has caught my attention, for some reason or another.

So to commemorate the start of this section, let me share with you a piece of work that to me, seems to signify the dawn of a new beginning.
