Synopsis
Easily told apart by their family but by almost nobody else, the world-class graphic artitsts and filmmakers Robindra and Amrit Singh (identical twins) have turned the Britist Art establishment upside down. While conventional artists often strive to articulate their personal vision with abstract works requiring no drawing skills, the exquisitely talented Singh Twins refuse to march to the Western drumbeat of "personal vision," shunning the emphasis on individualism. With unparallleled drafsmanship, the Twins bring Moghul Indian influences to their paintings that range from scenes of domestic bliss to highly charges polictical art. Steeped in both "East" and "West" they have produced an oeuvre unlike any other in what they call "Past-Modern" art. This film brings their delightful personalites to the foe and delves deep into their uncanny similarities as they both work on the same painting simultaneously. It is a sight to behold.
