Single Line Abstraction (SLA)

It’s my pleasure to share with you that I am working with Single Line Abstraction on Indian concepts. Coming to the point Single Line Abstraction, I think it’s not a big deal to draw a single line (uninterrupted line), but attaching meaning to it is really challenging one. Abstraction means a generalization or a generic form. I have been working with realistic art, pen art, pencil sheds. But I am curious about “single-line abstraction”

Advantages:
1. Skill & creativity is self-explainable: I mean to say, for example a realistic artist came up with beautiful landscape or nature or beautiful woman, here at a glance one can recognize skill of the artist but not creativity sometimes, of course she/he might not take any reference but we cannot guaranteed that the work is of her/his own. I am not commenting ‘Realistic’ art. Realistic art is classical and evergreen. I am just explaining how Skill & creativity is self-explainable through single line abstraction.

2. Reduce turnaround time: Generally to finish realistic painting we need months or more. So it’s not productive and one can’t implement once ideas in once life time. As you know nowadays art is not just a decorative element, it’s the way to express intellectual ideas effectively (A picture is worth a 1000 words)

I am more interested in those things which a camera can’t. I want to utilize art as messaging tool rather just decorative element. I think that is where a difference between a machine and human comes into picture. I am trying to represent Indian concept using single line abstraction.

Death is not going to be a great loss but skill within is a real loss.
I don’t want to die as one among many I want to die as one among few.

In fact, “art has to be experienced rather than explain”
