Understanding abstract drawings

With Sajid Wajid Shaikh

In the episode

  • What does the word “abstract art” mean to you? What exactly goes in the mind of an artist when they are working on an abstract thing?
  • Does an artist need to be a rebel? Classical/traditional versus evolving/experimental?
  • Can any artist (or you for that matter) know that they have exhausted all possible variations that can be created for a given artwork/thought? Within the same medium?
  • How do you perceive art and design? Since you balance both the worlds nicely.
  • Why are you so fascinated (if I may say) by Faces?
