Perceptions define a lot of the aspects of art but what defines Perceptions?? Today a spread of colours has taken the name of art...abstract art and the contours are finding their way out, as did Vincent van Goghs art works during his living span. Art is losing its defned values and being taken over by a mafia led by business men with little or no knowledge of art and no interest in as much as learning. Artists like Bimal Das Gupta are edging out to the westernised and commercial value artists who find themselves lucky enough to be born with a Silver Spoon or a Gallery with funds to back them...The Art Mafia!!! Hmmm...i had always dreamt and idolised Al Capone with his swinging guns but an Art Mafia?? I grew up with the perception that a good art piece transported you to another place through the visions and the skill...the coordination between the artists wavering and insane mind and his nimble fingers that brought it to reality.I grew up with the perception that a thing of beauty was a joy for ever and what could be more beautiful than a man sharing his visions with us through a medium that would preserve it for centuries... I grew up with art as the joing force between man and his inner self...a symbolic representation of ever lasting peace displayed through the madness of an artists mind. A Salvador Dali who with his concepts and visions will still give any surrealistic artist a run for his money a half century later...a visionary with his own concepts and values of art.A Bimal Das Gupta who gave the world abstacts in water colours and is still awaiting his spoon of fame...who had ever heard of watercolours being spread like oils???A MK Bardhan and his pastels...replaced by who?? An artist today who paints colours with no defination and sells it to the unevolved collector and tells him he can perceive it to be anything he wants..hmmm!!! But then evolution is a never stopping process and the maturity levels in todays buyers is growing and its only a matter of time....Time...Time is something that wipes out everything and only the rocks are left.Waiting for time to take its toll....
