Paintings like A Prayer of Hope and Solace of Crashing Waves usher this quiet sense of peace and positivity in the viewer.

Various artworks made by a contemporary artist. Dr. Ishita in oil colours on canvas reveal her intense urge to adorn them with apt icons of beauty of nature in different seasons. Her forte lies in an attempt to depict in each work with the wonders of Nature and their impact on the human mind via relevant visual metaphors. She has been impressed by the countless moods of Nature, from vast skies, to deep valleys, blossoming meadows, snow peaks, frothing seas, and all the dynamics of their constantly shifting light and shade. 

Artist: Dr. Ishita

She was deeply obsessed with an inner urge to create artwork using the eternal wonders of nature. She came in contact with Artist Sayaram Waghmare, senior contemporary artist of international repute who, as her guru, played a pivotal role in her journey in art.

Humans develop certain parts of their brain, often known as the Unique Identification System, to establish a conversation.


Basically, a form is the aesthetically aligned static version of the occurrence and recurrence of our visual sensibilities. The metaphors of emotions in these forms are actual derivations of Ashok Namdeo Hinge's visual interpretations. Ashok has experienced these emotions, and he strikes an impactful conversation through art that is symbolic in nature.

 

Ashok Hinge

Self-assessed visuals are the symbols of the realisation of space, boundaries of experiences, and the visuals our sight beholds. Humans develop certain parts of their brain, often known as the Unique Identification System, to establish a conversation. This developed system works to stimulate the micro visual sensibility in humans, which eventually results in developing the knowledge and understanding of art. In these stages of development, whenever the sensibilities find stability, they give birth to symbolism. The symbols or metaphors that create deep sensibilities are more impactful in nature.  The process of creating metaphors doesn't stress much on technical knowledge. It rather relies more on the results of that technique. Symbols invite audience's sensibility of shape and its experience. And in it lies their happiness and success.

 

Recent works by Ashok Hinge

A human transforms this sensibility into devotion. Ashok establishes this very fact through his visual interpretations. The happiness derived from seeing a visual is the symbol of one's visual psyche and symbolic psyche. Visual symbols and forms represent the emotions of visual thought or visual values. The one who realises this secret becomes a true visionary. And Ashok presents this secret through this exhibition.To see and experience such visuals is similar to one watching Satya+Nar+ion. This whole idea of seeing the reflection of self symbolically is what could be interpreted as Visual+Satya+Nar+Ion (To watch the reflection of one's soul as an ansh of the Lord)

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time” — Thomas Merton

Shreela Gokarn (b.1966). 

After nearly twenty satisfying years in the industry as an Interior Designer, I decided to focus my attention on my desire to paint - My passion, My love. I trained in my formative years under my mother, Premi Ullal, who is a product of J. J. School of Art, Mumbai, India. Portraiture is her forte. I learnt all the nuances of making portraits in oil, water colour and charcoal. A self taught artist in the Mixed Media Abstract Art medium as well as Digital art, experimentation and innovation have been vital components to creating art that speaks of my experiences. I feel my digital art can't be slotted into a category. I spent my initial years in an industry, where change is a constant feature in your work. If you want to be noticed, you have to be innovative and constantly thinking out of the box. This has influenced my work greatly.

I have also been drawn to mixed media which I enjoy immensely. "Letting go" is a great way to express oneself, by letting the brushes to speak for you, to explore and express feelings through colours. A culmination of my reality, I like to think of my art as the marriage of my understanding of the world and my imagination – the real and the unreal. The combination of mood and depth fused with concepts of space, theology and continuity provoke my imagination to chronicle, through layers of texture and color, my reality. This body of 10 works is part of a collection of Digital Abstract works called Prakruti


Digital Art by Shreela Gokarn


Shreela Gokarn pursues her heart felt desire to raise awareness about the repercussions of our actions on our environment. Through her paintings, she showcases the detrimental consequences of rapidly growing urbanization, water crisis, disappearing jungles and similar aspects leading to the deterioration of our planet Earth, while she highlights the goodness and healing touch of nature. She wishes to rouse people through her art. 

Digital Art by Shreela Gokarn


She quotes:"stretching his hand to reach the stars, too often man forgets the flowers at his feet"- Jeremy Bentham. The artist has divided her work into three parts: The first collection of 7 artworks represents the thought that, “We are part of the earth and it is part of us”. The second section, a selection of 10 artworks dwells on the present status of our environment, "When Life's Green gives away". However, the artist is an optimist at heart and would like to believe that we can restore the environment quite successfully. This is depicted by 7 artworks in the last section, "Mother Nature is generous, as she never gives up, if only we give her a chance".... Since starting my expedition with digital art in 2015, I have been a part of both group and solo exhibitions. I recently have been recognized for my work and was represented by Art nou Millenni at the Art Baho Festival 2019 Barcelona, Spain, under the category "unique art works". I hope my art does start a visual conversation between us!

The Shape of Home Tanmoy Samanta solo show at TARQ.

 About the Exhibition: 

The team at TARQ is delighted to announce Tanmoy Samanta’s third solo show at the gallery, The Shape of Home. The collages and watercolour paintings in this show explore Samanta’s practice of elevating the miniature to the epic through his artistic language of solitude and reflection. The artworks in this exhibition showcase Samanta’s exploration of the material and imaginative aspects of our domestic spaces at a time when we are confined within those very spaces. Created during the ongoing pandemic, these artworks are evocative of the memories and stories that these domestic spaces hold. Also present in this show is the artist’s leitmotif of birds. Samanta often uses birds as a vehicle to examine certain dualities like the macabre and the fantastic, moment and eternity.

Artist:Tanmoy Samanta

and presence and absence. Using his preferred medium of rice paper on paper board, Samanta has succeeded in creating works that are quietly poetic. As described by Samanta, “These works are about memory and the idea of home; about longing, belonging and unbelonging. They are about the presence and absence; evocation and poignancy. The stencil like images on the cut-out surfaces are an act of assemblage of memory of different times - some subdued and others stark. They are in the shapes of objects at home—some carefully preserved, forgotten or discarded, heirlooms, layered with tactile experiences and mind-travel to the constellations.” This exhibition will be accompanied by a catalogue featuring an essay by Ranjit Hoskote.

Bhavna Kakar presents: Phantasmagoria

 

Bhavna Kakar presents:

Phantasmagoria

Exhibition Dates: 27th Oct'21 - 15th Nov'21
Preview: 27th Oct'21, 4:00 P.M - 8:00 P.M

We are pleased to announce our upcoming exhibition Phantasmagoria, featuring works by:

Dileep Sharma
Farhad Husain
George Martin
Pratul Dash.

Phantasmagoria grapples with the construction and deconstruction of thought/ memories conditioned by contemporary culture. It brings together artists who problematize the concept of realism as well as reality, especially in an age which is a frenzy of simulations. Taking from pop culture while blurring the boundaries between ‘high’ and ‘low’ art, these artists form bricolages of mental landscapes. ‘Parody’ and ‘Pastiche’ are blended to form a post post-modern critique of the capitalist aesthetic and consumerism. The painterly surface becomes the door to the phantasmatic terrains mapped through the process of giving dimensions to intangible ideas.

Dileep Sharma’s oeuvre spells out contemporary in a hard hitting manner, with a splash of velocity propelled by neo pop colours. His juxtapositioning of motifs is a direct reflection of what is projected by the media, popular culture and fashion, thus rendering his imagery with a stark sense of humour, seduction & fantasy. The conundrums brought forth in this era are best swallowed down with a pinch of salt and a fistful of sugar, which is exactly the recipe of his works.

A Woman...their different stories behind their respective lives -Damini Gupta

Basically nature has played a very important role in being my inspiration throughout my life. 

Art can be a meditation, or a place to reach when you're searching for solace. I feel the real me when I spend time doing my paintings. I'm an artist because somewhere I'm less expressive through my words, so I express through my paintings. Since childhood, I was interested in paintings, used to sketch and paint a lot. I’ve completed my Bachelor of Fine Arts, specialized in Painting from Amity University, Noida in year 2018. Also, currently I’m pursuing Masters of Arts- Drawing and Painting from IGNOU, Delhi.




My inspiration comes from God's creation, A Woman...their different stories behind their respective lives. My work tends to focus on women of our society who directly or indirectly blames themselves for every wrong deed happens to them. Whether their physical appearance, facial hairs, sacrificing of dreams for someone, caged in Society's boundaries, breakup, jealousy and many other emotions, though not intended but they started hating themselves. So now I'm obsessed with depicting our emotions…lifestyle, freedom, jealousy, physical appearance, inner soul, self love and self care. After painting and inspiring so much from today's women, one day I came across my own self. The motive which I have been searching for, I understated one very fine day that there was a pattern of thinking before putting it onto the canvas.

That is why I became an Artist for...to express emotions through my art.
