Calcutta Bombay
Eight Days By Taxi

Curator – NO MIDDLEMAN ART GALLERY
Impressive work created in a short amount of time. Andreas’ Calcutta Bombay Eight Days By Taxi depicts daily life in two megalopolises. The high impact black and white images are dramatic. Extreme close up, silhouettes and frames accentuate the mood.
These street images are documentary photographs, displaying India’s daily life. In India a large amount of ‘personal’ daily activities happens outside in the open for everyone to see.
The partial body parts close ups (some of them blurred) dominate the images in this book; they are also my favorite depictions. Street art and street posters which quickly create another narrative in the frames are widely depicted.
The street photography found in Calcutta Bombay Eight Days By Taxi is diverse and a must for any individual interested in street photography, India, black and white photography and a must for the photography book collector.

OUR CONCEPT
Written By Joelcy Kay – Curator
Every piece of art, crafts, or textiles, hanging on my walls or ceiling tells a tiny passage of my life. Most of it was acquired during my travels. Many of these treasures are damaged whether because they were broken on arrival, as the pieces were tightly stuffed into my backpack, or weathered by the unforgiving Florida tropical humidity. But in the end, they are my precious processions and they are part of the stories I tell. It feels good to have rugs hanging from the ceiling, masks on the walls, and drinking my morning coffee thinking of the mugs’ tale. The point here is that art has a lot to offer each one of us; ART IS VERY PERSONAL!
The NO MIDDLEMAN ART GALLERY offers that personal experience as the individual has the opportunity to buy the art from the creator and by doing so a new event to remember is born. When you hang the work of art on your wall there is a story behind it; an artist you now know and follow. And instead of the usual “I purchased this at “WWW(BIG BIG ART STORE).COM” the connection enriches the emotional value of your art piece.
WHY DISPLAY YOUR ART AT THE NO MIDDLEMAN ART GALLERY?
The gallery is designed to connect the art seekers and collectors with artists directly. We offer artists a COMMISSION FREE / CONTRACT FREE online platform to sell their creations and engage with their clients using portfolio pages that are engaging with large images and a dramatic black background.
NO MIDDLEMAN is a boutique ART GALLERY; individuals browsing our archives and portfolio pages are relaxed, not pressured to sign up, agree with website terms, or maneuvering out of pop-up windows.
For details regarding participating in the NO MIDDLEMAN ART GALLERY please contact Joelcy Kay the curator at jo@edgeofhumanity.com.
