February 2026 TEAL LINES cartoon: "Peace Not Pieces" by Vinay Jalla.
Are we digging for energy or drilling into trouble? Turns out the Earth doesn’t enjoy being poked in the core.
Some moments in an artist’s journey rise beautifully, a bit like well-proved dough. This is one of them. Two of my original watercolour and pencil artworks are now on display at GAIL’s Bakery, Didsbury, one of Manchester’s most loved and luxurious bakeries.
Every piece of art carries a story, sometimes whispered, sometimes boldly declared. Often, that story isn’t just about what you see on the surface. "Mouse / Big Heart" began with a simple idea: potential is not measured by size.
Vinay Jalla had the privilege of hosting his first solo art exhibition recently. What made it even more special was that it was created without spending a penny.
The end of 2025 marks a landmark moment in Vinay Jalla's journey as an emerging artist in the North West: five of his artworks were selected and exhibited at the MASA-UK Art Gallery as part of the ArtX Biennale 2025.
'Old Shoes Never Bite' is a warm watercolour study of a pair of worn leather shoes, symbolising familiarity and trust.
Drawing on the old adage, the painting reflects ideas of gratitude and loyalty. A reminder not to forget the people or things that once supported us, even as new paths open up.
Through soft tones and gentle detail, Vinay Jalla celebrates what is dependable and unpretentious: what we know well, and what will never turn on us.
