11 years old Delhi Boy Radhey Patel aka 'Junior Picasso' receives multiple Art Scholarships in London, UK

All set to display his work at the renowned NIFA’s Annual Art Exhibition slated for May 2014

A student of 5th standard at Scottish High International School Radhey Patel awarded a distinguished Art scholarship at three of the best independent schools in United Kingdom, namely Merchant Taylors' School, The John Lyon School in Harrow and Aldenham School. This recognition award honors the tremendous effort, dedication and preparation Radhey has exhibited in his art and academic studies.

Child prodigy extraordinaire Radhey Patel rose to fame a few years ago when, at the tender age of seven, the National Institute of Fine Arts labeled him "child genius." Media outlets were also enamored with his painting abilities, praising the child for his tendency to create arts that, well, looked like the work of established artists.

Expressing happiness on the success of her son Mrs. Patel, the proud parent of Junior Picasso says: As a young child, Radhey loved to doodle, draw and paint like other kids but his paintings were different. We realized his ability to paint extraordinary things at such an early age where kids don’t think beyond having a fun-filled life. Refrigerators at home served as galleries for his art work and walls as canvas. As responsible parents we are promoting his interest so that in future he should be enjoying his profession rather than taking it as a burden.“

Radhey Patel articulates, "There is never a moment's doubt in my mind that this is what I want to do. It’s a very creative process, getting to express my thoughts and imagination and making the impossible possible. The first thing that pops up in my mind when I wake up is new ideas for art. I have always had a drive to experiment and make unique things with my hands. Art helps me process my thoughts and feelings and interpret them. Art is one of my languages for expression. Making and seeing art excites my brain and makes my day complete.”

In one of his paintings Junior Picasso Radhey dedicated to Nation’s father Mahatma Gandhi titled Transform: Making of a Mahatma attempts to show case how Gandhi, an attorney in South Africa transformed into a Mahatma during the fight for independence. The theme was to create a piece of artwork, based around the word transform - the word suggests something is changing or shifting, turning from one thing into another. I was inspired by the quote of “You gave us Gandhi, we gave you back the Mahatma - Nelson Mandela”.

Picasso and Van Gogh are his all time favorites. And he extensively believes in the theory of Picasso which says that every child is an artist, the problem is how to remain an artist once they grow up.

Radhey’s next challenge is to host an online exhibition of all his work in support of BBC Children in Need and contribute to the wellbeing of other children and help make a difference.

In the words of William Blake Radhey Patel says, “Without unceasing practice nothing can be done, Practice is Art and if you leave off you are lost.”

Testimonials & Appreciations for Radhey’s work 
A letter from Simon Everson, Head Master, Merchant Taylors', states "We think Radhey is full of creative promise and we are delighted to offer him an Art Scholarship" The Merchant Taylors' School has enjoyed a distinguished history since its foundation in 1561 by the Merchant Taylors’ Company. One of the nine original 'great schools of England' that laid the basis for the 1868 Public Schools Act, its alumni has achieved distinction throughout its history. Amongst the other nine include Eton, Harrow and Rugby.

"Radhey is a gifted student who combines serious study with a range of extra-curricular activities. He has an amazing capacity for fulfilling his responsibilities in a great variety of activities both in and out of school. Radhey is learning to hone his talent, imagination and express his creativity. He shows genuine talent and with continuous exposure has great potential for a bright future in fine art," utters Mrs. Sudha Goyal, Head, Scottish High International School

NIFA Director, Renu Khera said: "Radhey is painting so far in advance of his own years. There are many talented artists out there, but I can't think of one that's made such an impact at such a young age. I would happily exhibit all his works in the gallery," Khera said.

National Institute of Fine Arts is a national centre for education in arts, fostering the excellence of emerging and established artists and advancing art to create a more human world.

Radhey Patel's latest work will be displayed at the renowned Annual Art Exhibition of NIFA planned for May 2014 in New Delhi until then discover his ever growing collection at www.radheypatel.com

Gauguin 'cut off Van Gogh's ear'

BBC News reports (at 11:12 GMT, Tuesday, 5 May 2009 12:12 UK) that Vincent van Gogh did not cut off his own ear but lost it in a fight with fellow artist Paul Gauguin in a row outside a brothel, it has been claimed.

According to a news article published by BBC, a new book, based on the original police investigation, claims Gauguin swiped Van Gogh's ear with a sword. The authors argue the official version of events contains inconsistencies. Here are the excerpts:

Witness statements

The book, titled In Van Gogh's Ear: Paul Gauguin and the Pact of Silence, is the product of 10 years of research by German academics Hans Kaufmann and Rita Wildegans.

They looked at witness accounts and letters sent by the two artists, concluding that the row ended with Gauguin - a keen fencer - cutting his friend's ear off.

Van Gogh then apparently wrapped it in cloth and handed it to a prostitute, called Rachel.

Mr Kaufmann said it was not clear whether it was an accident or a deliberate attempt to injure Van Gogh, but afterwards both men agreed to tell the police the self-harm story to protect Gauguin.

He said the traditional version of events is based on contradictory and improbable evidence, and no independent witness statement exists.

"Gauguin was not present at the supposed self-mutilation," he told Le Figaro newspaper in France.

"As for Van Gogh, he didn't confirm anything. Their behaviour afterwards and various suggestions by the protagonists indicate they were hiding the truth."

Gauguin later moved to Tahiti, where he produced some of his most famous works. Van Gogh died in 1890 after shooting himself in the chest.

Famous Artist Claude Monet's Biography And Paintings

View Famous Artist Claude Monet Paintings

Famous Artists Claude Monet (1840 – 1952) was born in Paris, but grew up in Le Havre. His first artistic output were caricatures when he was a little boy. He went on to pioneer Impressionism, profoundly influencing landscape painting. Making a break from established painting techniques, Claude Monet captured the fleeting effects of time of day, atmosphere and season upon color and light. Like a prism, his artwork broke color into individual elements, and completely lacked black and gray tones. He often painted the exact same view numerous times to depict changing light and weather conditions. Refining the portrayal of natural light’s transient effects, his work broke ground for 20th century modernism. In his late years Claude Monet suffered from physical problems. After 1907 a bad eyesight and rheumatism made it more and more impossible for him to paint. But he continued until the year of his death.

Biography And Paintings of Pablo Picasso

View Artist Pablo Picasso Paintings

Famous Artist Pablo Picasso (1881 – 1973) was a genius who co-founded Cubism and produced a monumental 20,000 artworks during his 70-year career. Because of extensive and complex work of Pablo Picasso, the art historians have divided his work into individual periods. A prodigy in his youth, Picasso enrolled in advanced classes at Barcelona’s Royal Academy of Art at age 15. The strong geometric forms of his groundbreaking Cubist works redefined art as a medium that could digress from literal images of reality. Passionately creative in every genre from primitive art to sketches to Surrealism, Picasso profoundly impacted 20th century art. Picasso was profoundly influenced by Matisse. He was also captivated by the almost cartoon-like works of the self-taught "primitive" French painter Henri "Le Douanier" Rousseau, whom he affectionately called "the last ancient Egyptian painter" because his works have a passing similarity to the flat ancient Egyptian paintings.

Van Gogh - The Marvelous Painter Who Cut Off His Own Earlobe



"I can't change the fact that my paintings don't sell. But the time will come when people will recognize that they are worth more than the value of the paints used in the picture." - Vincent Van Gogh

Vincent van Gogh, the famous Dutch painter was born on March 30, 1853, Zundert, Netherland. His life and work are legendary in the history of 19th and 20th century art. The art of Van Gogh, with its intense colour and writhing forms, became, through its impact on the Fauvists and German Expressionists, while his tragic biography is one of the most powerful examples of the myth of the artist as deranged and alienated visionary. Popularly viewed as the prototype of the misunderstood, tormented artist, he sold only one work in his lifetime.

The great majority of the works by which Vincent van Gogh is remembered were produced in 29 months of frenzied activity and intermittent bouts with epileptoid seizures and profound despair that finally ended in suicide. In his tragic struggle Vincent had one constant ally and support, his younger brother Théo, to whom he wrote revealing and extraordinarily beautiful letters describing his conflicts and aspirations. His early work, the Dutch period of 1880-85, consists of dark greenish-brown, heavily painted studies of peasants and miners, e.g., The Potato Eaters (1885; Van Gogh Mus., Amsterdam). He copied the work of Millet, whose idealization of the rural poor he admired. In 1886 he joined Théo in Paris, where he met the foremost French painters of the postimpressionist period.

Vincent van Gogh's work, though virtually unknown during his lifetime, is now highly regarded. Starry Night and Sunflowers are two of his best-known paintings.

Featured above is Van Gogh famous painting “Starry Night". His genius hauntingly shines in the swirled brushstrokes, vivid colors and distorted forms of “Starry Night.” While institutionalized, Van Gogh created “Starry Night,” his most famous painting, completely from memory. It now hangs in the permanent collection in New York’s Museum of Modern Art.
