Mystical Journeys in Ink: Where Freedom and Form collide

 “Bharari: Soaring Beyond Limits” Invites You to Experience Mystic Prose and Poetry Expressed Through Ink Paintings.

Art lovers are invited to a unique exhibition, “Bharari”, which showcases the evocative mastery of ink art in styles ranging from ink wash and pen-and-ink to mark-making. This exhibition is the culmination of 12 years of dedication by contemporary artist Dipali Meher, where the timeless themes of the soul's journey toward higher consciousness are visually expressed in a fusion of mystic prose and art. In Marathi, “Bharari” means “a leap” or “flight,” symbolizing the soul's journey toward liberation and self-realization. The paintings prominently feature birds, symbolizing the spirit’s journey as it navigates the winds of life. Using symbolic figures like birds, bulls, and horses, Meher explores themes of freedom, ego, and progress. Through these symbolic figures, the artist explores the harmony between nature and the self.

Eroticism in Art: Exploring Sensuality and the Human Form Through Kapil Alaskar's Vision

Kapil Alaskar's exploration of the erotic in art directly correlates sensual experience with artistic expression. His perspective underlines, in a very serious engagement by the theme, sexuality and sensuality, human form, as well as in ancient Indian sculptures, those like can be seen at temples in Khajuraho. Erotic here speaks beyond mere nudity to profound extent of the body itself as it relates to the vessel for emotional as well as sensual expression.

Artist: Kapil Alaskar

In essence, he says, in particular with the words "Nudity is in the mind of the beholder," something that sounds more universal and philosophical, as the sense of eroticism of a given subject more often reflects on the viewer's head rather than the object of observation. His process as an artist leads him into an internal inquiry in pursuit of the use of women's sensuality, through sketches, drawings, paintings, and so on. The culmination of his artistic work under the concept of "STIMULATION" reveals that he considers the body to not be only an object but rather a subject of deep inquiry and artistic inspiration.

From the comparison he makes of Khajuraho's ancient sculptures, which have carved sensuality into every piece, it can be understood that his artwork challenges societal taboos and trivial perceptions of erotic art. His own world shows his concern with interdisciplinary approaches to the human body because the presence of elements such as rhythm, smell, and desire in his work is a kind of testimony to his not so normal or traditional thought. His view that the body "is not merely a useful tool for sex" but rather a far more complex and profound aspect is part of his creative ethos.
