When I arrived there, they were putting up the exhibition of the 4th Bharat Bhavan International Biennial of Prints. Fortunately, one of my prints was included in the show and I could attend the inauguration.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On March 1st, I moved into the residence of Bharat Bhavan (with new bedsheets and a mosquito net), where three young artists were living. The next day, all of a\u00a0 sudden, I got an eye ache and dizziness, then abdominal pain, and headache a couple of days later.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/taigachiba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/09\/DSC04155-web.-1000px-test.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;DSC04155 web. 1000px test&#8221; show_bottom_space=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;right&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; width=&#8221;80%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;60px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;60px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;30px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|0px||0px|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|0px||0px|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; border_color_top=&#8221;RGBA(0,0,0,0)&#8221; border_style_top=&#8221;outset&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Roboto|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#353535&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; ul_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;45px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(0,0,0,0)&#8221; width=&#8221;80%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;10px||||false|false&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|0px||0px||true&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|||||true&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; module_alignment_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; module_alignment_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; module_alignment_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Bharat Bhavan Art Complex in Bhopal by the Upper Lake (1997).

Insects were also traveling on the plates leaving their footsteps. I collected little flowers, petals and twigs in the yard to compose monotype works (in a way, working with those birds and insects). Then I printed on good-quality handmade Pondicherry paper.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/taigachiba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/India-Studio-Bhopal-1.jpg&#8221; title_text=&#8221;India Studio Bhopal&#8221; show_bottom_space=&#8221;off&#8221; align=&#8221;center&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;default&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;60px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;60px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;30px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;Roboto|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#353535&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.6em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; ul_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;45px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(0,0,0,0)&#8221; width=&#8221;80%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;off|tablet&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;10px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|0px||0px|false|true&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p>The ceramic studio by the lake (left) and the outdoor acid room for printmaking (right).<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; text_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; text_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; text_font_size=&#8221;17px&#8221; text_line_height=&#8221;1.9em&#8221; link_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; ul_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_2_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_3_font=&#8221;||||||||&#8221; header_3_font_size=&#8221;45px&#8221; header_3_line_height=&#8221;1.5em&#8221; background_color=&#8221;RGBA(0,0,0,0)&#8221; width=&#8221;80%&#8221; width_tablet=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; width_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_phone=&#8221;100%&#8221; max_width_last_edited=&#8221;off|tablet&#8221; module_alignment=&#8221;center&#8221; custom_margin=&#8221;60px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_tablet=&#8221;60px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_phone=&#8221;30px||||false|false&#8221; custom_margin_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; custom_padding_tablet=&#8221;|0px||0px||true&#8221; custom_padding_phone=&#8221;|||||true&#8221; custom_padding_last_edited=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover_enabled=&#8221;off|desktop&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|27px||27px|false|true&#8221;]<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">After working in the Graphic studio for three weeks, I left Bhopal for Chennai (Madras) by train, Tamil Nadu Express, with twenty complete works.

At the opening ceremony on April 7th, what surprised me was they served French table wine ( it may sound no surprise but was quite unusual at that time in the place of chai!). I performed a live SUMI-E (ink drawing) demo using a natural fibre broom found in a local market as a substitute for a Japanese brush.\u00a0 The curious local audience made it a much more engaging event.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image src=&#8221;https:\/\/taigachiba.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/11\/Sumie-demo-revised.jpg&#8221;
