Visiting the Fowler museum here on
the campus at UCLA has profoundly suggested that one man’s trash is another man’s
treasure. Vivan Sundaram achieves this
idea well with her unique eye for art, taking the ordinary, things you would
never think of, and transforming them into the extraordinary. The art is an exploration into something deep
and unique. Within the “Making Strange”
section The piece that caught my eye was a sculpture
where the woman was wearing tubes from bike tires. It spoke to my childhood as
I grew up riding bikes and never would have related nor fathomed bicycle tire
tubes as an article of clothing. The inspiration of the artists’ motivation brings
about creativeness within the spectator. However, Sundaram ‘s vision and
innovativeness is not as any artist I’ve seen. Her ability to envision beyond the typical
mind, seeing what others may not. Notwithstanding, her success within her art
has resulted in this inspiring work being showcased at the prestigious and
respected Fowler museum. Beyond his
works in the United States he studied abroad in Baroda and showcased his work
all around the world, displaying his talents through his esteemed paintings and
art forms. This successful artist has brought his art to a different level and
will be studies and explored by many new artists and the well known throughout
the industry.
