PLAYING HARD Painting by Manoj Dixit

Lives and works in Pondicherry - INDIA

Autodidact


MANOJ DIXIT
------------------

My recent work expresses much about 'myself' in the sense of how I
perceive of or relate to the contemporary - somewhere between a
nostalgic inspection of vanishing icons & the vivid perception I have
of our current culture and social climate. In dealing with random
bombardments of contrasts and chaotic harmonies I attempt to explore
the energy behind our unpredictable & contradictory day-to-day lives.
The sensations of layered juxtapositions in a cut and paste
environment of a rapidly mutating India are expressed by means of
signs of 'recycled street art' & 'objets trouvés'.
