When we perceive a piece of artwork, we not only try to dive into the scenarios of the visuals in front of us, but we also peep into the world of the mind of the creator. The mind of the artist can be as complex as a maze or as clear as transparent stream. The artist creates a work of art after experiencing various kinds of emotions and incidents. The emotions can as simple as happiness, anger, hatred, joyfulness, etc., but sometimes it transcends to an experience which goes beyond a definition of common emotions. The interconnectedness of contrasting emotions gives way to an idea which can be explained through art, and art only. With the addition of living in this busy world, we go through many physical incidents which brings trauma, anxiety, love, hope, etc., in our minds. Culminating all these emotions and experiences, an artist takes a respite in creating their work of art.

In this exhibition, aptly titled ‘Ways of Seeing’, the artists are trying to portray their thoughts and comments in the everyday human life through their artworks. Every painting or print is trying to open our perspective in some issues or incidents while tapping into the emotions that are already lying inside our minds. Many a times what we see or perceive, we are unable to express them. These artworks are carefully curated so as to ignite a conversation and help in communicating with the audience about the unsaid emotions and experiences.

Nippon Gallery
presents a solo show by Sandip Sen. We are glad to introduce his works that
consists of German Expressions, erotic venting, striking and vivid Palate and
bold themes .
 |
Artist: Sandip Sen |
Sandip Sen completed
his BFA in painting from Kala Bhavana Santiniketan and pursued his MFA from
college of Art and design, bardhawan Sandip Sen is from Jalpaiguri , West
Bengal, India.
Incorporating Kalighat
Pata Painting style and themes notably Sexuality has been shown symbolically
through objects. Such as balloon, Kettle orchid, leaves and sperms.
Further elements such
as snake socks, grass, monkey cap, hand gestures, Electric plug, Nude female
figures and copulating animals have also been assimilated in the intellectual
paintings.
The idea of drawing
has many complex processes in the initial stages, where not only drawing and
painting but also thoughts are given a significant value. What the artist
visually studies is then transferred to actual works incorporated with colour
and attempt to present it in a conceptualized line. These paintings are
anchored with pen, charcoal, ink, pastel, water colour, oil colour etc. These
forms not only identify realism but also create another dimension.
 |
| Artist: Sandip Sen |
Line charges a crucial
impact in Sen’s works, where it not only displays a celerity of his thoughts
but also connects objects being laid on the sheets.
Black, red, pink,
orange, green colors began to dominate the painting in a symbolic way. Next
comes the use of gold, silver and fluorescent colors. At the same time small
particles are observed, sensuousness, eroticism, clippings of ads, human
figures, and antiquities are imposed more practically. 19th century popular
folk culture of kalighat patta, wood block etc. can be observed in his work
that are indulged with contemporary hoardings in cities that started producing
college works explaining his thoughts.
Artist says, “my art is to talk about sensuality. “More to say that sexuality doesn’t mean nudity or vice-versa and nudity doesn’t demand only representation of the bare body. Sexuality is a feeling. It has no visuals but it is a visual language. Visual art starts with nudity because it is the first stage of sexuality.
From the beginning of
his youth, the artist began to notice the pubic sign that changed his genitals,
growth of pubic hair, and the beard, hair in armpit and abdomen and changes in
hormones. The idea of sex gave him a completely different languages from where
some biological changes became the subject or his work.
To enrich the visual
language he used multiple layers including the digital on graphic quality at
some place, to bring about theatrical effect in the picture cutouts are
applied. He has started to use quotations from sexually related books.
 |
| Recent works by Sandip Sen |
Sen’s works not only
examine the inner desires of humans but also give them a unique look by
combining various figures and forms that indirectly are related to the themes.
His bold use of colors and subjects continuously attracts human consciousness while making our minds contemplate human biological developments.
Nippon always has and
will appreciate unique thoughts and works of contemporary minds and in this
respect we exhibit Sandip Sen's art works.

The show is based on upcoming the young contemporary artists, who they present through their artworks from different perspectives with various mediums such as water colours, oils, mixed media and etc.
Portrait and self-portrait is an expression; it can be self- portrait or other artistic representation of a person also. It is portrayed of someone's character or describes someone. It can be present by painting, photography, graphic art, video art, performance art etc.
 |
| Recent work Shanthi Kasi |
Portrait often gives deep insight, and offers an analysis that goes far beyond the superficial. Mostly depicted by facial expressions it is described you and your personality. It can be direct or indirect. Portrait or self-portrait reflects the human expressions and feelings. The self portrait is a projection of the self. It is a reflective physical appearance.
Self- portrait delve deep into psyche, complex personality, strong emotions, a chronicle of circumstances through life. Artists captured people’s inner and outer expression which comes out through their facial expressions. Mostly artists gazed into the mirrors and attempted to grasp their identities.
In general, there are three ways to tell the difference between a portrait and a self-portrait. One of the best ways to understand a self-portrait is through its title. Artists will often identify their self-portraits as such. Another strategy is to notice what type of action is being depicted. Both self-portraits and portraits often depict a figure gazing in the direction of the artist.
A self-portrait will often depict the artist at work in the process of painting their own image. The third way is to view the picture in the context of the artist's other works. The artist's subject matter can convey to the viewer the identity and character of his or her own image. For example, American artist Norman Rockwell's Triple Self-Portrait shows the first and second of these principles.

Nippon Gallery presents a solo show by Srotowsini Sinha, in the ongoing show on our virtual gallery. We are glad to introduce her work, which consists of contemporary concepts and visual art. 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.
Nippon Gallery is highly obliged to welcome you all to this show. Kindly visit our website and show your interest in magical artworks by young superb artists and make this show successful. Nippon is India’s leading online contemporary art space.

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.
 |
| Akshita Monga |
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.
