The 2019 tulsi jayanti is my most recent project to bring back to life a piece of ancient art from my childhood. In 2010, my grandparents gifted me with a stack of 3 ½ ft. by 3 ½ ft. oil paintings.
I love my ancestors and this project was a way for me to honor them in a very tangible way. It is also a way to finally get my digital-first self to stop being such a computer-first guy. I’m also a big fan of the “tulsi jayanti” meaning “chivalry is dead” and the “2020” meaning “2020 is the year of the tulsi jayanti.
When I discovered tulsi jayanti, I was blown away by its beauty. The art was so iconic that I thought it should be on display at the Art Museum of the Caribbean. Because it is on display at the Art Museum of the Caribbean, I just assumed it would never come back alive. But, it did. It is currently on display at the Museum in my hometown of Houston, Texas.
The Art Museum of the Caribbean was founded in 1986. It is located in the Houston Zoo. Its name comes from the museum’s mission statement, “to serve as a focal point for the collection, education, and appreciation of Caribbean art.” The museum has over a dozen galleries devoted to art from all over the Caribbean, and it also has a collection of over 40,000 works by Caribbean artists. It is the only museum in the U.S.
tulsi jayanti was founded in 2003 by a group of artists who wanted to create a space that would showcase Caribbean art. It is located in the West End of Houston. The museum has received criticism for its lack of diversity, but for the most part, it is what you see here.
I was lucky enough to be invited to the museum a few years ago by a group of artists who asked me to design the logo, and I’ve been part of this community ever since. I’ve been fortunate enough to be invited to present the museum’s upcoming art exhibit, which will include the work of over 100 Caribbean artists from the 1980s to the present. I’m still not sure what it is about my Caribbean art that I am so passionate about.
I’ve always been drawn to the African art of the 20th century. The blackness of the work, the simplicity of the forms, and the overall impression of calm and peace. I have a deep respect for artist of this period, and I am proud to be able to express that in my work.
I guess there is a lot going on here. One can only hope that the next time you look at someone’s work, you can see a glimpse of the art they experienced themselves. The more we learn about the history of art in the Caribbean, the more we are able to appreciate what truly moved the artists to put down their brushes.
Yes, it’s true, art has a history that goes back thousands of years. It was for the purpose of communicating the beauty and wonder of nature, and the human body. These forms are actually the representation of the human body, and they are meant to convey the beauty of the human body.
The art of the past is something that we should be proud of, but we should also be careful not to take it too seriously. If we take it too seriously, it can start to feel like a cheap joke, or a cheap attempt at humor. It can start to feel like a cheap attempt to get our attention.
