Hello there, I’m currently chilling (literally, it’s cold) in Delhi for Chivas Studio as you might have figured from my tweets…. Set up at Vista farms on MG Road the entire Chivas Art Foyer was very impressive with installations by Paresh Maity and photographs by Jatin Kampani. There was even a super cool bar set up in the pool. On Saturday night I witnessed some really cool LIVE art courtesy Brian Olsen and also caught up with Nargis Fakhri who I had met once ages ago… She was super sweet and chatty (and so very, very tall!) Check out my behind the scenes video with her before the show.

Nargis Fakhri describes Brian Olsen’s work as an “an emotional yet exciting experience” full of surprise.

Combining artistic talent with music and lots of energy, Brian Olsen put on a memorable show called “Chivas Art” where he transformed blank canvases into masterpieces, in a matter of minutes! Clearly, Brian is much more than just a talented painter, he’s an entertainer. Unlike most painters who enjoy working in the comfort of their own art studios, in peace and quiet, Brian does it in front of an audience, using music as the source of his inspiration.

Dressed in one of his paint-splattered outfits, Brian had the likeness  of Marilyn Monroe at his fingertips! The most impressive of course was  his live portrait of Nargis Fakhri created to the tunes of popular  fusion band Mrigya. In the end, the audience got a beautiful painting,  as well as a unique display of creativity. And you know what? It really does look a hell of a lot like her! #FTW
