Uniquely commons of Ashok Hinge - Series of daily life - By Pankaja JK

Creativity has no boundaries. Inspiration can trigger from anything and everywhere. Only an artistic impulse is necessary. Artist Ashok Hinge proves this through his paintings. 

Artist: Ashok Hinge

His subject ‘Series of Actions of daily life’ creatively honours the mundane activities or routine life. Hailing from small town, Ashok has seen and experienced the difference of lifestyles. His depiction of life in metropolitan cities, is his concern for the society in which he has settled. He has been living in Mumbai since a few years. Being the part of it, he is also involuntarily motivated to juggle according to its pace. He captures lighter moments that are obliterated in the maze of hustling bustling city. As we see them in visual form of painting, somewhere it strikes us and we find ourselves in at least of them. The paintings refresh our memories and develops desire to involve in such simple acts that are necessary to rejuvenate ourselves. Unlike most artist who touch upon deep meditative thoughts, contemplations and something unpredictable, Ashok mesmerises viewers with his black figures against white background of canvas depicting relationships, sports, singing, dancing, meditation, relaxing figures, struggling and fidgeting people in train, coffee sippers, people in the office, festivals and family time etc. His paintings are the visual documentation of daily life.

He admits that this theme and style is a development as a painter. Earlier he painted figures with some stylised forms. He also painted semi abstract

landscapes for a few years.His passion for Black ink and strokes is the result of his earlier practice of calligraphy in black ink. He is also an admirer of the works of Robert Motherwell that have mesmerizing strokes. Minimalism of Mark Rothko is practiced by him and that makes his creations simple and attractive. As he consistently concentrated on this style since a few years, the strokes are now more enhanced to suavity and thus he is able to depict the true essence of the theme and make commonality unique. Not only his recent style follows minimalism, but even his installations, like his most admired ‘Guru - Shishya’ installation also has the same pattern. He intends to continue this style.

Ashok’s interest in this subject proves his spirit of inquisitiveness and desire to know every possible thing. Leonardo da Vinci most adored artist had a similar habit, he noted every activity that grabbed his attention on the notepad or book he always carried with him. Right from human biology to botany, aroused curiosity in him. His scribbled sketches number in thousands. Ashok Hinge too does carry papers with him to scribble the subject that strikes him. The inquisitive nature and knowledge and awareness is closer to that of the great artist. Common is made precious. 

This series has paintings that are just lines/ strokes of brush at one- go, forming the desired figure. Actions and gestures are presented in abstract forms. He keeps it minimal without any complications. It becomes more impressive with the use of colour Black. All the paintings in this series are black images as that is his most preferred colour. For him black represents beauty and strength and certainly gels with anything creating its own impression. Moreover, Black colour leaves long lasting impression on viewer’s mind. Thus, simplicity is the beauty of this series.

Artist: Vanita Gupta

Vanita Gupta is at a lead in marathon of recognition and achieving accolades for her excellent creative and progressive steps in the art field.

Vanita Gupta’s video ‘Balloon Trilogy’ is selected for 16th International Media Art Biennale 2015 of Wroclaw, Poland. It will be displayed as an audio-visual installation during the show, which opens in May 2015 and runs through till Sept. 2015 in Wroclaw, Poland.

 It is evident that she is rocking the world of Audio-Visual art by grabbing the attention of art galleries and curators with her distinct and innovative paintings and sculptures. Its commendable to be a part of WRO (Wizualnych Realizacji Okołomuzycznych) Art Center in Wroclaw, Poland, is that, its festivals are exclusively devoted to audiovisual art involving electronic media. We are not unaware of the great Polish culture which has given the greatest of film makers like Roman Polanski, Kieslowski, Zanussi. It inspires and recognizes artists actively working with new technologies and innovative approaches to image, sound and perception. Vanita has been actively involved in visual art since more than a decade and regenerating her art with innovative ideas. The video is her first audio-visual creation but effectively worthy of recognition.

    

Vanita created this balloon trilogy beginning in 2012 and finally the third part was conceived at her residency in Vermont studio center, USA in 2014.

The video is a brilliant work of creativity, diligence and beauty in simplicity.
