Ganesh Kelagina Beedu Shenoy, who is from Mangalore, India, and has been a Qatar resident since 2007, has entered the acclaimed Golden Book of World Records again for his latest record in the Kinetic Pointillism art movement. Ganesh Shenoy wrote and published a book on this art movement on May 3, 2023, and the Golden Book of World Records has confirmed after thorough scrutiny that this is the first book on the Kinetic Pointillism art movement.
This is the 6th record set by Ganesh Shenoy. Earlier, he had set three world records—one national record and one Asia record—for his miniature paintings, which were confirmed by the prestigious India Book of Records, the Asia Book of Records, the Golden Book of Records, and World Record Certification Limited, UK.
Kinetic pointillism is an art movement founded by Robert Ottesen, a renowned artist. Though its founder intended the movement for adult artists, it eventually became a passion for adolescents. According to Robert Ottesen, adults have been conditioned, over many years, to paint in certain ways. Because their adult minds were less neuroplastic, they were not able to adapt to a new style. Whereas the minds of children are free from conditioning, they are receptive to new ideas and open to change. When adults create artwork for fame and popularity, children create it for self-satisfaction. Most adult artists create artwork for pecuniary gain, whereas children naturally create artwork for joy and playfulness. The Kinetic Pointillism art movement has become so popular that it has already been listed among the great art movements of the world and has also become a part of fine art history.
