Dazzling & Haunted
… the tenor and undercurrents in the art works could be described as reflecting a relentless quest, a haunt for perfection, for splendor, for recognition, for a vague promise for redemption… attrition is accepted as it is fuelled by the kind of humor and hope that defeats futility… the genuineness and intrinsic purity of the protagonists and situations cast a dazzling light on them, without moving them too close to pathos or profanity…
… dazzling & haunted expresses a condition, characteristics of human existence… the artists succeed in addressing them in an intriguing manner, providing a platform for the audience to reflect and self-reflect…
