When History and Mythology Relates to Our Present
The best thing about history is the way it carries on into the future and is always part of our present. For a country like India where culture and history define who and what we are, mythology is one aspect that presents designers with a hook. Story telling, science or self-exploration, mythology can be anything you want it to be, believes designer Pooja Bhapkar. More on her contemporary interpretation of the subject.
It's all about drawing in line!
For many designers, certain elements work very well as they see beyond it, compared to the rest. For example, working with lines and using a strong sense of symbolism. Changing the texture of lines changes the meaning. Lines can be rhythmic, straight, diagonal, zig zags, swirls, rounded shapes, decorative forms and of course a bit of abstraction. An abundance of repetitive patterns create rhythm and adds drama to the overall artwork. It's like a line puzzle where the audience submerges to follow the lines and read the overall picture. This gives the artwork a flowing energy.
