black horse and the giant wheel

after the latin jazz show, i was walking towards the museum to catch a bus back to CST railway st. while walking form hutatma chowk towards prince of wales museum (i know its chhatrapati shivaji maharaj museum, but everything in this city is named after that one man!) when the exhibition at the kala ghoda arts festival was on. everything from art, food, finery and fame was present on that walk. getting its name from th black equestarian that once was a statue, kala ghoda is in its tenth year. for further info kindly log onto: http://www.kalaghodaassociation.com/
a solitary walk down the road was very (for lack of a better word) intriguing!
as the pictures will tell you, art was at its eccentric best. with different renditions of mr. Horse (i don't know how he'd take that, but what the heck!) a white one mid air with graffiti all over it, a mechanical, wired, fanned and brushed one (u'll kno wen u see it) and the regular black one.
airbrushed metal was a great attraction. all those bikes and car lovers were busy jotting down numbers and taking cards. Sudarshan is the guy responsible for all the kick-ass air spray art that was on display. (for his details pls contact me) a bullet with flames on it was the central model, a helmet sprayed like a skull got my vote. damn impressive i say!
a big giant wheel, according to me took the cake. this was not the regular giant wheel. this one had bicycles with dabbas on it instead of seats. (rad!!!)
another piece of the cake goes to the ceramic art by a bunch of art guys who call themselves, 'clay chakra' (again for details contact me). they get the cake for the specific reason that their art was themed upon shoes. (a very touchy topic with me). aa large boot (like the gum boots for rains) was done up with small ceramic shoes of different shapes. otehr pieces of art included a highly umcomfortably high heeled sandal, a wet and worn out boot, chappals, and floaters made out of clay.
the best part about it was the crowd, all were happy about being there at that time. i couldn't help but click these two old, but very beautiful women. i think i've summed up my evening.
