Lockdown Stories by Shweta Gautam

Artist: Shweta Gautam

 

Unexpected  journey of creative people. So here comes my story of lockdown connected through Pen & Paper. 

 

Days in lockdown were opportunities for an artist to explore more with pen & paper, making the most of what they had available. 

 

Mumbai never had such curfew stories before. Curfews in Mumbai also taught many responsibilities and their role in contributing in our own way to find a solution to collective problems. 

 

During curfews many learned about the importance of being creative with the scarce resources and limited physical space they had at home. 

 

Some even learned to be hygienic and developed new skills but what mattered the most was learning to appreciate the emotional connections between different generations.

Although it seems strange as a title, but I feel this lockdown has made more stories to come to life than the entire lifetime put together. Every day it was a new story, new understanding of myself and the world around me. Entire world going upside down and the challenges faced by each individual. For me, the perspective of life and the surrounding just changed. Interpreting new visuals and the value of life, the entire meaning just changed. Sometimes, life puts you in a situation where your best comes out. For me the lockdown stories are more of a memories and reflection of each day in various lights. Nothing was planned and there was no goal to make these stories, but day after day these reflections just started to appear on the paper and made it a relaxing experience than the chaos around. Now seeing it from a wider perspective,  the Universe had a plan. The process of creating this visuals was more of a meditation and connecting with the higher self then just exploring the art. Felt like I just tapped into the energy unaware, guiding me to its final destiny.

The Polo Series is one of M Narayan's most beloved works, and it reflects his passion for horses. He uses charcoal and a range of colours to depict polo players and racing horses in a unique style. His life-like polo paintings transport you to the midst of a live polo match, literally!! M Narayan depicts the game's energy and velocity with such strong expressionist strokes, swabs of opaque colours, and rough charcoal lines that one feels the energy and aura.

“Chitra Latika”

An Exhibition of oil Paintings by Jabalpur based artist Ramkripal Namdev

VENUE:

P.L. Deshpande Art Gallery

Ravindra Natya Mandir, Prabhadevi, Mumbai 400025

Timing: 11am to 7pm. 

As he has intentionally overlapped much of the surface. I think Ravindra subconsciously tries to show it in a subtle manner.

 ‘Living in Mumbai, being and experiencing the fast lifestyle, observing the overlapping visuals while commuting by local trains and buses of the people packed in the limited space and colors of the fabric they wear, and while going around the City - the slums, buildings, walls crumbling, rusted hoardings, scratches, walls cracks, drops of water and flow of liquid, trees, leaves, geometrical forms shapes, roads, and many other elements forms visual frames of composition and embedded in my subconscious mind. These stimulate and inspire me to draw and paint. Also, my interaction with children, juveniles, and or otherwise, their emotions, psychological and social issues, et al. are part of my subconscious memory which influences my work. My paintings are pure visual experiences that are to be seen by the viewer’, says Ravindra.

 

Artist:     Ravindra Pawar

This is Mumbai and Ravindra has been living here for years, working with the Juveniles. He has been interacting with these Juveniles who have been labeled as difficult to discuss the various ups and downs of their life. I think Ravindra's brilliant use of colours, powerful strokes, different shapes and lines, transparency, roughness has really come a long way wherein he subconsciously depicts all that he has observed and perceived through his art.

 

The fields of geometrical forms and colors transport one to the Color-Field Abstract Expressionist movement. The play of color on the psyche of humans is as primitive as is man, and so is the therapeutic value of colors which has a very deep impact on our minds and psychological wellbeing. Expressing through Art that which cannot be spoken heals the deeper held aspects of our emotions and traumas thereon healing the being. 

 

Ravindra’scolor palette is vivid, darks, earthy, muted, neutrals, and cool. The forms, lines, overlapping and revealing underlying colors, the powerful application of the medium, speak an unspoken narrative that has impacted him deeply and vividly. The use of complementary, analogous and monochromes to express his varying emotions and inspirations enhance the artwork evoking the viewer’s senses to indulge in the visual melody.

 

Ravindra’s colours present a good degree of emotion through their tones and shades while the gestures are presented by the brush stokes, breaking lines and moving forms. His, every composition has a stance, an elegance and a dominant position in the space that is suggestive in some way. Even though the artist does not ponder around a particular subject, yet the different visuals leave a deep impact of experiences only through pure visuals. Hence, for the artist and the viewer, it is an act of feeling, connecting and being impacted rather than simply viewing it.

 

Recent work by Ravindra Pawar 

Ravindra’s visual compositions appear to be quiet, but they are sharp and energetic. His paintings are a visual poetry with a good balance of simplicity and complexity with myriad ideas, moods and feelings that his colours suggest. Despite a sense of lack of certainty, there is a great silent gesture on the surface and an unheard emotion captured through colours and abstract forms. Both of these elements have the power to define a purpose to make his work look great for his viewer. 

 

His paintings has a different depth of colours. As he has intentionally overlapped much of the surface. I think Ravindra subconsciously tries to show it in a subtle manner.

 There he is! Looking like he is embracing 'Nirvana'. He wants to hide away a lot of memories, previous circumstances... Pain. He wants to live his life to fullest and make the most of it.

 At this exact moment Rekhta comes into the picture. It's like a jigsaw puzzle, it's all scattered but eventually all of it fall in the right place. These various shades of colours holds holds everything in place. Merging all elements of lines, shapes, shades of colours etc.

 

That's Ravindra for you who sees all these scattered things and then goes to on tries to keep things in order, in the right place!
