Brad Kahlhamer (b. 1956) is an artist working in a range of media including sculpture, drawing, painting, performance, [stencils,] and music to explore what he refers to as the "third place"—a meeting point of two opposing personal histories.

The craft of paper'cut decoration. Vijay, Ajay, Mohan Kumar Verma's family.

The beauty of Sanjhi rests on the skill of the craftman to cut the paper in such a way that it holds together yet allows the design to show beautifully. The cut patterns also create an interesting play of light. Using a special pair of scissors, the craftsmen work to create intricate patterns on paper.

Travaillant beaucoup d’après photo, il transpose alors sur divers supports ses pochoirs en leur insufflant une lumière particulière. Il en résulte un travail aussi soigné que précis, fortement empreint de l’enseignement reçu dans l’art d’accommoder les fards : les paillettes et les strass sont sa marque de fabrique.
