Srotowsini Sinha puts her artistic vision onto the medium in a magnificent way, with the audience being intrigued throughout the time of experiencing the artwork.
Artist: Srotowsini Sinha |
Srotowsini Sinha from Kolkata (India) presently pursuing her BFA from kalabhabana, santiniketan. She works through a variety of mediums such as charcoal, ink, acrylic, and digital media. Particularly she feels more like working in photo manipulation.
Srotowsini engages with her works every day by focusing on the very familiar elements that go unnoticed or ignored which has an impact on her state of mind. She chooses various elements from pre-existing compositions or photographs and arranges them in a way so as to create a whole new sense of being.
Sinha's work is very real reporting. The scale of rhythmic influence in which she has manipulated the common elements by the spontaneous of her thought is highly commendable. This dynamic of her work will help to make it much more visual in the days to come. Our Nippon team is excited to stage the artworks of such a promising artist through her solo shows.

Nude, an ungarmented body is the essence of nature, it shows the value of being alive...IN A STATE OF NATURE - N U D E
----
Nude, another way to describe a bare body, a body exposed but having a warmth of skin, which starts in womb and gives sense of our existence.In a wider way if we visualise, we all are made up of same ingredients but the recipe is slightly distinctive. We all are an amalgamation of bones, muscles, flesh and so, with a huge sprinkle of emotions and desires. Having bare body as a base which is owned by every soul, some still feel apprehensive while glancing at one. Though for some, it is an instrument of self-realisations, self-expression and a profound source to enchant delicacy.
From very beginning of human civilisations, we have witnessed nude human figures, especially female idols, that happened to be considered as goddess of fertility, nature and well being.The temples of khajuraho in India, are the perfect examples to depict, how nude art played a part in religious chapters. It’s erotic sculptures seamlessly blends with the traditional and mythical characters.Slowly and steadily our eyes started to praise what is beneath the clothes, and many portraits, live drawings, sketches were drawn where nudity performed a gigantic role.
The Nude: a Study in Ideal Form by Lord kenneth clark, first published in 1956. The introductory chapter makes a distinction between the naked body and the nude. Clark states that to be naked is to be deprived of clothes, and implies embarrassment and shame, while a nude, as a work of art, has no such connotations. The era was initiated where a subtle line was marked between nude and naked. Now the depiction of human body was shown in more realistic and natural way rather than glorying it as of goddesses and nymphs. Pubic hair, marks were naturally shown.
The nude maja (1797) by Goya, 1815 drew the attention of the Spanish Inquisitions. Where in an elite society a female was shown nude and posing bare directly. Got alot of criticism in first place but was appreciated for it’s natural appeal later. Not just females but males have also been shown nude several times, the most appropriate example is the David by Michelangelo, 1504.

Apart from the nude enthusiasts, many had and are still hostile to it. During the baroque and renaissance eras, the nude sculptures were given a shade of leaf on the private genitals, as they were not accepted bare. Which is still continued by some in present generation. Indian artists could not reside away from the alluring beauty of nudes, they kept their thoughts foremost and drew some of the most influential paintings of era, F.N. Souza’s erotic and sexual art displays nudity as regime of living, giving it a modern aroma. While Raja ravi varma’s and Amrita shergill’s way to present nudes has subtle and realistic approach.
Akbar padamsee added another way to show nudes while playing with light and shadow and artists like Bhupen khakkar indulged nudes in contemporary and conceptual ways. In a state of nature, nude, is a way to acknowledge nature’s most significant formation, the body. Fifteen impressive artists are exhibiting their works to portray the aesthetic appeal, foundation of living and their wider vision of accepting being nude and visualising nudes.
Nude, an ungarmented body is the essence of nature, it shows the value of being alive, of being covered in a seamless skin. It has a power to feel, touch, cherish and excite. Nude is a way of appreciation and not apprehension.

Raj More 67th National Film Awarded ‘Khisa’ to be screened at 21st New York Indian Film Festival
Raj More |
Khisa is among
58 feature films, documentaries and short films in 15 languages from across
India that have been selected for NYIFF 2021.
Marathi
short film Khisa (Pocket),Its debut directed by Raj Pritam
More, has been selected to be screened at the 21st New York Indian Film
Festival (NYIFF). Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the film festival will be
held virtually from June 4 to 15 2021.
Raj
Pritam More has won the 67th National Film Award for Best
Directorial Debut for his short film Khisa. which is considered among the most
prestigious awards of India.
More told that he was delighted about winning the
coveted award. "Every filmmaker wishes to win a National Award," he said. This is his second National award, he already win 54th
National Academy Award by Lalit Kala Academy New Delhi and Best Asia Art Award
from Asia. Korea..He from JJ School of Art Mumbai.
The filmmaker, a respected contemporary visual artist, said the award has
given him a lot of confidence. "This was my first film and I had invested
the past two years in it. It had won many awards at various international
festivals but after it got selected for the International Film Festival of India this year, I realized that there was a chance that we could win the
National Award. I can't contain my happiness. I would also like to thank my
team, especially my writer, DOP and the editor for having full faith in my
vision.
“The whole
story revolves around the shirt. The child is proud of his pocket. It sets him
apart from others his age, whose pockets are not only smaller but also ordinary
and similar to each other. The little boy does not understand the politics of
symbolism that adults engage in, and his pocket soon becomes a point of
contention amongst elders in the village. This story of a loss of innocence and
coming-of-age of a young boy, is ironically, symbolic of the times we live in,”
said More.
The filmmaker
added that he was planning to work on a different film and had called Kailash
Waghmare for casting. “He told me that in his village there had been an
incident of a child who had attempted to stand out from the crowd by wearing a
shirt with an unusually large pocket. I realised that this was the story I
wanted to tell and Waghmare wrote it,” said the director. Waghmare plays the
father of the child in the film.
