Nippon Gallery presents the show " PAUSE"
which is curated by Heena Shaikh and Nippon contemporary is the creator of new era for young artists
in Mumbai and Online Viewing platform now active as leading in India. For me as
Heena Shaikh Artist is one of the biggest challenges that we all faced in
recent times is the change of work ethic and methods in the situation these
days. As everyone did go through this challenge over this past year, everyone
tried to make the best of it. The show ‘’Pause’’ represents that fruitful
result of the changes we witnessed through artist’s point of view.
Conversations and all the process changed to online, in a blink of an eye. In
these times, our goal was to gather artists from different places from India
and bring all their different art styles together for all the people to see.
The enthusiastic contribution by all the artists made it possible to put a
great show online for everyone to see. With a number of different of art styles
and works, the plan of having one online show split into two ‘’Pause 1 and
Pause 2.’’ This exhibition offers works by 19 young artists who suggest and
focuses on the subjects who we are facing or deals with it in the everyday
lives that we hardly observe. Adapting to this new era of gallery and bringing
people together has been a wonderful and intriguing project to work on in this
lockdown period.

Artist:
Prashant Patil - Santiniketan Kolkata
Currently
Prashant Patil working at Santiniketan (West Bengal). Santiniketan is
surrounded by small Santhali villages, where the Santhals continue to live a
traditional lifestyle. They make their own mud houses with unique interior
structure and arrangements expressing their aesthetic sense. Those things
enchanted me.
Drawing, Painting, Photography and
Installation. I was interested in collecting objects, mostly from streets and
footpaths in rural villages. The present condition of an object also provides
means to peep into its history, its riches and desertion. I was drawn to the
objects which were engulfed by cobwebs. These cobwebs not only depicted the
present condition of the object but also the past it experienced and this
inspired me to draw in a 3d space.
The
idea of making drawings in the form of cobwebs, changed my art practice
entirely. It allowed me to elevate my artworks from paper surface drawing to a
more occupying physical space. I started working with the glue gun to create 3D
drawing and used a spotlight to project its shadow on the walls of a dark room.
By claiming three-dimensional space I was able to let the shadows have a
dialogue with the empty wall. This subtle interaction of fragile web on a solid
and hard surface, expresses temporariness of existence. Lingering shadows on
the wall present themselves as a strong medium in itself, their presence gives
viewers a chance to wonder upon true existence (reality) and mere illusion of
it.

Artist:
Uttam Sajane – Maharashtra
Uttam
Sajane paint to experience the world within me and it is my meditation where I
am searching for myself through lines. It is sublime feeling that affects me
very deeply. We always use our logical mind every time. I want to say accept
LINES AS A LINES; COLORS AS A COLORS AND DOTS AS A DOTS. Do not ask question because
there is no explanation. Over the years painting helped me to quiet my mind,
find my peace and connected again with inner itself. I am compelled by my
emotions.

Paul
Klee the master painter gives prominence to the creative journey of an artist,
which he calls becoming, it has plenty of meaning in language of opinion.
Indian writer Nirmal Verma suggests the conception of the term “experiencing”
which again designate the indigenise idiom “yatra”—journey, certainly larger
then “experience” there is a sense of endlessness, which denotes the expression
of process. Indian abstract master Prabhakar kolte consider him under the adoration
of the same thought. during these days, due to long lockdown, this is the first time when am
staying so elongate in my studio, which absolutely a integral part of my home,
I am very much unwavering and very much stabled due to persistently surrounding
with colour, canvas and other art material Infect all along with lots and lots
of catalogues and reference books which certainly a great bless for me, having
the benefit of such companionship. Meanwhile I am firm in my own creative
breathing space which undoubtedly a kind of complete world for me, providing
the enhance scope in such space where I deeply realise and contemplate to being
with the self in actual.

Artist:
Vikram Marathe - Pune
Rust
painting begins in 1994. I was a great follower of the artist late Prabhakar
Barwe. After reading his book ‘Kora Canvas’ (Blank Canvas), I started writing
him letters about my thoughts, questions about art. Also, I asked him about his
journey in the field of art. In one of his replies, I learned that in his early
carrier he has experimented with various materials. I also wanted to explore
different mediums. While looking at the stains of rust on the workshop floor, I
started to work on rust as a medium. Prabhakar Barwe encouraged me with his
blessings.
Somehow
I stopped working in this media but again started to work in rust from 2014. I
have exhibited them in my past shows. I feel that the stains of the rust are
the frozen moments of time and my imagery is based on the objects such as
horoscope, manuscripts which holds time or a period within them. I am working
as a museum curator, so I handle such antiquities every day which has started
reflecting in my work.
