"Life is not easy today......"
Gogi Saroj pal
my daughter visited her at her residence......and stunned to note that she is in grief .......
what can a writer do .....
she wrote an article ....in Jansatta...
I just thought I would share some gorgeous artwork of Gogi Saroj pal with you that I have recently discovered, She Paint like a Woman....
Gogi comes from a family of revolutionaries and her father was struggled for freedom of the country, instead gogi, made up her mind to be an artist.
“I always had in me persistence. I would do things my way even if it meant enduring hardships,’’ she says. And so she did in her long years studying art and then practicing it, staying in the midst of the crowd and clutter of the walled city of Delhi or working in the Lalit Kala Akademi studios at Garhi. Gogi was among the first to do installations in Delhi. “Now installations are much in vogue. But the words was not known in the early 1980s and we called the work assemblage” Gogi recalls.
Her latest series of painting have the woman embroidering Phulkari motifs o her body. These motifs are scattered in the backdrop too. All this is done with an accomplished flourish. The woman Gogi paints is rooted and yet has wings.
Inspired by the miniature painting of Bride’s Toilet, in one of her series, Gogi makes her Nayika use products like Ganga soap or Kesh Nikhar oil, having a dig at the market forces that promote stereotypes. ``The market decides what a woman must use, eat or even how she should look like. It was in reaction to the Barbie Doll that I made the Big-B dolls of Painted canvas,’’ says Gogi.

PAINTINGS, EMBROIDERY, PERSONAL GRIEF AND THE UNUSUAL JOYS OF OTHER WOMEN — ALL WEAVE TOGETHER IN A COMPELLING NEW BOOK BY GOGI SAROJ PAL
Ithink the philanthropist in my daughter is stronger then her writting skills, that's why she is still finding ways to eke out Gogi from her trouble!

Sometimes it takes a village to lay out blocks.
It’s nice to have lots of input
while nothing works and when you get stuck.
Good Day!
