STOP SLAVERY, HUMAN BONDAGE: I CAN'T BREATHE Painting

Born in 1974 in Perivale England. Have no academic background in art. I am a self taught artist, and always painted as a hobby. In 2014, had shown my portraits to the National Portrait Gallery in London. They were pleased to see my work, and advised me to enter the bp portrait award for 2015, which I did by doing a portrait of my late father Manmohan Singh Gill. Recently had my exhibition of my collection of paintings and drawings some of which date back to 1999. The exhibition took place at the Dominion Centre and Library in Southall Middlesex County throughout the month of June 2016. The exhibition was called "Rangeela Re On Paper" meaning color on paper or a series of drawings and paintings on paper. I was interviewed on air by a local Punjabi radio station called Desi Radio, and my photo with an article about the exhibition was published by a local Punjabi weekly news magazine - Des Pardes. Sometimes I am seen at a local Sikh Temple where I help to teach drawing and coloring to children. My own inspiration comes from such artists as Farida Khalo. To be honest, being from a Sikh background is the reason why the universities did not accept me to study art, Many lecturers have their princesses (air-head blonds) as well as their hindu goddesses which explains why barti kher got an easy ride at the Middlesex University of Arts and I did not. Instead, most british institutions I had been to were very nasty towards me, exposed me to violence and slavery. These lecturers did not want to guide me or encourage me to art, but exposed me to violent outbursts of other females and slavery. This is the part of England they don't want you to see. Yes I am an outspoken artist, who is fed up of seeing princesses and hindu goddesses, better I live in exile in New York or California. In fact, I recall at the age of 14, while in school, I used to walk down the hallway and every now and then the male art teacher would be walking pass me towards the opposite direction and he used to give me such nasty looks as if he well and truly hated my guts. One Saatchi art online advisor had told me that the price of a painting depends on the equipment you use, the more expensive the tools you use to paint the higher the price of the art work.
