illustration Friday

This is the first ever Illustration Friday post. The topic this time was 'Dip'. There isn't any perspective or concrete form to this composition and it was entirely intentional. I think when making a painting or a sketch it doesn't really have to have the single source of light, background, foreground to make it look complete. We are so accustomed to seeing things 'proper' and 'as they are' that we usually end up expecting the same from the painting which more often than not just takes away the very point of that particular piece of art, that its made for 'its' sake and not to imitate reality(ies?) from just one point of perspective.

Its very unnerving to follow and deal with the complexity of human visual perception and I usually end up with hugely deformed compositions which lack perspective and depth hence I find the works of Post-impressionists and early cubist very appealing and inspiring. Cézanne bridged the gap between these two movements in early 20th century in the form of 'the kitchen table', am just a tiny speck here trying to make something out of 'the tea table' :P
