Ripples...

Sitting close by the stream,
Reality, one unfolding dream,
Stirring her feet to and fro,
Losing in trancing ripples.
Thinking why she lost,
Making her thoughts cripple.

Hurting ever the more deep,
Countless as droplets in see,
For they never seize to cause,
What had made her lost.
Losing in trancing ripples,
Making her insides cripple.

Searching for the missing core,
Mending her broken sphere,
Streams running a gentle course,
Concealing what seems hard to show.
The sublimity of encircling ripples,
Making her soul cripple.

Evoking realms of memory,
Cajoling appears temporary.
She knows no end.
Her senses an aching blend.
Sausing never ending ripples,
Making her being cripple.

Jimmy Engineer – The Artist who Relived 1947

Image
By  Sasha Scheherazade Not many artists have achieved success where documenting the traumatic experience of one of the most horrific and grandest migrations in history is concerned. The colonial British powers that brought Pakistan and India into being nearly seven decades back, was not without an engineered and very violent partition of the boundaries.       "I have relived 1947," says Jimmy Engineer, "although I was born seven years after the inception of Pakistan, but to me it seems that the very time of partition, with people migrating from Indian border to Pakistan by whatever means they could, is still etched afresh a memory as if I had lived through this whole process of partition, died and my rebirth happened in the year 1954," says the artist par excellence, who has proclaimed himself  as The Servant of Pakistan.   Seeing Jimmy Engineer's work on his Independence Series one can observe the trauma encountered ...

L'Árt Pour L'Ártel by Sasha Scheherzade

Creativity is as diverse and boundless as imagination which is chiefly why each artistic formation bears an idiosyncratic manifestation that makes his talent flawless and timeless. For a true artiste, his envisaged and finished artifact is like a babe that gets care and nourishment until its ultimate growth. There will never be another substitute for creativity no matter what medium an artist chooses to express provided,  “l’art pour l’art”, which is to say the intrinsic value of art, and only its true form whether arts or crafts, is divorced from any didactic, moral or utilitarian function and the expression is complete in itself such as that of ARTEL.    Photo - artelbybinaali.com ARTEL, has slowly but surely surfaced amid the happening disarray of different art forms, and is now noticeable in an exquisite lounge that offers most unique craft form, designed and introduced by Bina Ali.    Photo - artelbybinaali.com “Artel was initially...

Frida and Diego: A Story of Love and Pain

Image
By Sasha Scheherzade Life experience is a common theme in Kahlo's approximately 200 paintings, sketches and drawings. Her physical and emotional pain are spread starkly on canvases, as was her stormy relationship with her husband, fellow artist and love of her life, Diego Rivera, who she married... twice!!! During her life, 'self portrait' is a subject that Kahlo always returned to, as artists have always returned to their beloved themes. Of her 143 paintings, 55 are self-portraits. Had she lived, she would have been coined the Selfie Queen of present times. Kahlo and Rivera had a tempestuous relationship that was marked by multiple affairs on both the sides. Self-Portrait With Cropped Hair (1940) - Kahlo is depicted in a man's suit, holding a pair of scissors, with her fallen hair around the chair in which she sits. This represents the times she would cut the hair Rivera loved when he had affairs. The lyrics of a song painted across the top of this potrait whi...
