Painting on Microplastic chosen for Germany event

Kalaburagi: based artist and researcher Rehaman Patel’s painting has been selected for the best 40 art works in the International Art exhibition organised by Germany-based ArtBook The Platform under the theme ‘Microplastic+Human+Nature’.

Hundreds of artists round the globe from countries like India, France, USA, Dubai, Greece, Vietnam, Denmark, Nigeria, Indonesia, Panama, Bangladesh, Thailand, Sudan, Vienna, Ukraine, Phillippines and many others took part in this microplastic art awareness event. The organisation shortlisted forty of the best art works. Patel is one among them and has painted on paper using acrylic colour and oil pastels.

Patel always works on social issues. He has created paintings on education, women assault, COVID-19 and many more.

About the painting: It is a decade since our beautiful nature is being destroyed by microplastic. As it is on a fast track, we the humans must become alert and make all efforts to stop plastic usage which is most dangerous and harmful for global life. Its negligence by individual is not less than a suicide. This is the message I have tried to express through my painting.

Let’s educate ourselves with the help of art to understand complexity and interaction and avoid too simple solutions which demand a total stop of products instead of improving them.

The painting is published in the ArtBooK The Platform. The event can be seen on www.abthepf.com
