Find Picasso too complicated? How about an art show that showers you with endless humour? That Freshness by Trishla Jain, opens this Sunday

To be too obsessed with logic can be illogical at times. Isn't that the reason why we often love not being grownups? But when it comes to art, we have been conditioned to believe that only creations that are loaded with complex thinking, meaning and hard-to-comprehend techniques is 'creativity'.

Consequently, only the classes and not the masses appreciate or relate to art. But this will change, for good, because young artists like Trishla Jain are finally experimenting with the quirky side of the canvas. We recently met the young artist whose showcased works will finally put humour back on canvas.u00a0

The first impression
It's past 10 in the morning when I reach the venue at Tilak Road to catch a glimpse of the works that are being given final touches before being shifted to the exhibition centre. A ladder, coloured in florescent orange, gives me a hint of what come next. One of Trishla's colleagues takes me through the collection that consists of 40 works comprising of furniture, collage art, works on canvas and installations.

It's a fine mix of art that performs and art that can add glamour to your pad. Each work is different in its own way, but the common thread lies in use of colours that fall beyond the domain of 'accepted'. It's this aspect that adds joy to Trishla's line that has been completed over a period of two years.

More smiles per work
There're creations that make you smile and wonder why being comical on canvas is seriously important. For instance, in Pastries in Paris, the Delhi-based artist has used funny posters and clever one liner, asymmetrical way of paintingu00a0-- methods that are rarely heard in the art space. Other works on similar lines are I'll Do It Tomorrow, Threesome and Your Great Belly.

"The term 'technique' sounds very heavy. A self taught artist like me may not know a lot about them. However, the Impasto technique of painting, where paint is laid on the canvas in thick layers, has been used," points out the alumni of English Literature and Poetry at Stanford University.
