Friend creativity have
no boundary , I told about it in last post on this art vibration blog. Here I want
to share a one more very strong example about boundless creativity.
Real creativity we can see in village life . there to we can observe
to boundless creativity and that’s right definition for our visual art definition. Village life
know how to use to useless medium of life , they know how to use free space and
how to create space for creativity . in
village a tailor use to small pieces of cloth for creation of a colorful rope .
some fur cutter of animals , they are cutting to fur of camels for rope
creation in that fur cutting they are enjoy to big body space of camel for his
creativity . they are cut to camel fur in
very artistic style and create lots of design
on body of camel . After fur cutting came is look like a canvas and that’s
body design look like a tattoo art and painting too. When that decorate camel
move on land in that movement that is convert in a live canvas form .

I remember a demonstration story of Late Great
Art Master M.F. Hussain Sir , he was gave a demo in a art workshop , he was
demanded a white color ox for his art demo . when ox was came in front side of
Hussain sir , he was taken a big brush in his hand and gave a stroke on body of
that ox in next movement that ox was felt touch of wet color brush and run away
from that workshop place , and Husain sir said to all my demo is complete
..hahah.. he gave a logic of his art demo
with this words, he said when I give a stroke to my canvas in that
movement my canvas run far to me and I follow
to that it my art philosophy ..like that..ha ha .

In design of that fur cutting I were noticed the element of design , a fur cutter was used folk art design form , some animals images , birds Images , flowers images and stories of traditional Rajasthani Stories . a creative fur cutter give his full time in that art work , you know a camel body size is 4X3X2 fit’ s its main part of camel body back of camel , neck size is 1 X 4X2 fit’ it mean a came have 30 to 35 fit’s space on body for fur cutting art ,I can say a 10X20 fit’ s live canvas is a body of camel for a fur cutting artist. Kind your information some fur cutter sign of his self on camel body by his fur cutting art , that is a writing work on camel body by fur cutting art work. That sigh is showing to camel like a moveable sign board for publicity of fur cutting . I sure you will accept villager know how to use to free space for right use about life , they convert to camel in canvas look or in moveable sign board for marketing of art and craft. They know camel is a big animal of desert , it is move for long journey with his master so it can exhibit to art and craft of village , in a different view fur cutting give a different look to camel when lots of camels live in a one place or in one village , a thief can’t hidden to fur cut decorated camel and he can’t mix to that camel in other camels , it is a special point for safety of camel from thief of camels. Some camel master’s feel proud when his camel move with him in village or in city with fine decorated fur cutting design , that artistic live canvas make his very rich and art promoter image in village culture.
So I said came is in my
view a live canvas …
