Sanjay Patel’s Exhibit

The Sanjay Patel «Deities, Demons, and Dudes with ‘Staches: Indian Avatars» exhibit is currently up, and I’m in loveeee! Sanjay Patel was/​is an animator for Pixar… he worked on everything from Toy Story to Cars, and his new work (which he took a 2 year leave to work on) is on display on the 2^nd floor… and is absolutely amazing! He has taken an old Indian tale that dates back centuries and retold it in a modern pop culture like way that is just stunning. It’s both ridiculously cute and tasteful. I hope he takes the time to reinterpret more works, beyond just the Indian folk stories… maybe venture into also the other Asian cultures… because I would definitely be inline to buy all of them! If you’re in the area, I’d definitely recommend coming to the Asian Art Museum to check this out… on display until April 22, 2012.
