GRAFFiTi - ARE WE THERE YET?

An undeniably washed-up idea in the head, is eventually and longingly stationed in all peripheries of the gray matter. It remains increasingly mind-boggling and hyper unsettled.


The actions then derived from such an 'itchy-scratchy' state of mind perhaps result in what is now called GRAFFITI.

Those obscure WRITINGS ON THE WALL, abstract sketches and art forms, slogans shouting undying pledges of  bodies that very newly crossed the thresholds of puberty, putting RAGING HORMONES to maximum drive.

A whitewashed brick wall of a fairly good stretch is an overwhelming temptation for these unacknowledged graffiti artists, to put their scribbling urges to work. It is general knowledge, SOCIETY at large, HERE and elsewhere do not approve of happy-twitchy fingers denting or painting their uber-clean high walls or fences which conspicuously concludes all such acts under one single header - VANDALISM!

Societies, everywhere have conclusively settled for calling them, vindictive behavior, but, some PICASSOs have been born out of such class-acts. Here in BHUTAN, if you can tell talent apart from mindless scratching, there is, talent encrypted in between the deluge of all the other handy works.

>>Not exactly "MODERN ART"

The country doesn't have rogue talent scouts  who go sniffing for undiscovered maestros on BLANK walls. And currently there are no mindless reality shows around- to showcase every eager mind annoyingly willful to display household 'goods' and charitable 'wares.'



So..the better idea at best, at present would be to sign up with a legit entity (like Thimphu's VAST).

Humor me this:

What are the chances? That there happened to be someone who did go around peeping for such a discovery and that he will find a virgin work of unquestionable greatness. Probably..  !!FAT-CHANCE!!

If you do take a stroll down Norzin Lam. Doybum Lam, Gaden Lam and all the other Lams rarely applicable as an address for precise location, you will find many such art works (near work-of-art). BUT be doubtful that they will make nominations for any accolades. Many of which you lay eyes on will be scribbling on dusty cars ('WASH ME'), Drawings of the legendary PHALLUS. Popular writings for many ages - 'I LOVE BHUTAN,' and all those other 'dema love pema,' dorji loff dechen,' etc. etc. ....


I VOTE:Keep up the scribbling, you might hit The Midas Touch
