Revolution -2014
Sunday, 18 May 2014
Revolution of expression by artist from Maharashtra. - Pankaja JK
Maharashtra is a cultural hub and it has nurtured great artist from every art field; right from motion media to fine arts. Who can ever forget the greatness of Dadasaheb Phalke, V. S. Gaitonde, M.F.Hussain and the living legend Prabhakar Kolte?
A common thread that ties them together and makes them men of repute is the revolutionary ideas that they put forward through their art and which stirred the world. The changes happen in every age and all over the world. But speaking of Maharashtra, it has made history and continues to produce some of the finest artists of India and world. Chosen from the bunch of bloomed and blooming talented artists to exhibit their creation in the contemporary art group show called ‘Revolution’.
Revolution is a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behaving. Revolution in Nature and Society is meticulously and finely captured by these artists. Nature has disparate spheres and so also human traits. Both show transformation and change according to changing circumstances. They have been successful in effortlessly merging the nature and human on a single canvas and in a sculpture. These artists have captured the changes in their creations and presented the revival of expression and culture. All the artists are highly educated in art and with their intelligence and in depth vision make theme interesting and express varied forms of nature through experiences and reflections. All of them are obliged by the society and wish to return back in terms of art that is pure and can be preserved in long run.
We can easily observe their versatility mastery in the field in their expert works in oil color, acrylic, fiberglass and watercolor paintings. These creations are not just imaginary romantic thoughts but, the lessons learn while adjusting the life style according to changing nature of society that is fast becoming urbanized.
Artist Audumber Rudrawar is a man of few words; his creations also reflect the same trait. He feels that encounters with rigid life can be best expressed in art form by understanding it up to the core and reaching its basic form and he resolves to project it skillfully in his creations. This very resolution has created his special place in Mumbai’s Art world. He says everything in his paintings is from the world around him. The forms occupy the all-important ‘space’ in his paintings. He is very sensitive to every nuance of its shape, orientation and their placement. Working in watercolor on paper this feature becomes all the more important. Hues are not just for decorative purpose colors but take the form in his work. Working in watercolor on paper this feature becomes all the more important - the medium doesn’t allow you a second, so his works can be like the works of a Zen master who creates after a meditation and contemplation. He titles his paintings sometimes - Advait, Unit, Cobalt Space...are also minimalist like the paintings.
Tuka Jadhav's life is live example of encounters with life challenges both physically and mentally. His rise from humble origins. Lost in colorless world due to catastrophic loss of vision an eclipse at the zenith of his career blindness made transformed his inner vision and led to his revolution in paintings which are exemplary and grandiose. The mood is created by the abstract ‘Buddha’ installation using a bicycle wheel, seat and screw. ‘Cosmic Harmony’ evokes the timeless and eternal influence of the Sun and the Moon to make nature blossom on earth. Like the Yin and Yang of existence the artist's handprint above the red-black sun expresses the common link of matter and spirit. A series of six river paintings pay homage to the water element as the source and sustenance of the stream of life. Pravaah or the flow is symbol of the eternal ebb and flow of thoughts, moods and feelings finds expression in myriad forms and colour schemes. ‘Bhoomi Sparsha’ in ethereal blue and white is a flight of fancy celebrating the meeting of the heavenly and earthly realms. ‘Godhra Mother’ and ‘26/11 War’ are stark reminders of the terrors of our troubled times, the kite-shaped works ‘Heart & Soul’ and ‘For Neal Armstrong’" are soaring tributes to friend Shivaji Kale and Neel Armstrong the first men on the moon. ‘Global Peace’ brings out the show's somber theme.
All the artists here are determined to face the challenges if life and create an admirable art through it. Their confidence to accept life as it comes and joy of creating fantastic creations can be seen in their exhibits in this show.
Ganpat Bhadke’s paintings encompass whole universe in human being. The human being is a miniature universe. All that is found in the cosmos can be found within ourselves. All primal shapes are psychological symbols corresponding to inner states of human consciousness. A Trikona (Sanskrit for triangle)is a widely used geometric symbol that corresponds to a deep metaphysical vibration from the cosmos. Different positions of the Trikona are believed to impart different types of properties and attributes to the symbol. An upward pointed Trikona is a metaphor to describe ascension towards the spiritual realm. The individual being and universal being are one. All that exists in the universe also exists within us. A committed concentration upon the form of the Trikona provides a window into the absolute. During the process, consciousness expands from concrete reality to abstract truth.
The union of individual consciousness with cosmic consciousness is identical to Ultimate Reality and is the origin of all phenomena.
Deepak Nagji Mer an art intellectual is influenced by the holy cities of India he visited. His works are Eccentric, irregular, peculiar, evocative and definitely interesting are some attributes that can be used to express the eclectic collection. With his mastery over illustration and a thorough understanding of the intriguing and the interesting, Mer manages to combine the surreal with the very real emotions that need some ‘reading between the lines’. His canvas is a departure from the predictable, has a story waiting to be told and gives the art-lover an opportunity to explore other ‘points of view’ as well. The unsaid finds expression on his canvas, a voyage into the deep and endless emotional and curious intricacies within the human heart
Speaking about his paintings artist Abhang Balasaheb, an abstract impressionist, tells that his paintings are indeed reflections of nature. The energy and spirit of nature is transformed and takes the form on canvas. In his paintings the abstraction of nature’s energy symbolizes the mystical nature which is in unpredictable and changes at its own will and pace. No one can restrict it. It is colorful, vibrant, and restless. The geometrical figures seem to be its elements which are steady and unchangeable and yet have immense effect on conduct of nature.
Nature is composed of different elements and each element reacts and affects the cycle of nature; so also human behavior. Exhibition ‘Revolution’ shows a drastic and far-reaching change in ways of thinking and behavior of human being as they try to adjust with their circumstances and surroundings. It is aimed at revival of art and to bring it out from fossiled state of expression. Here are the masters and budding talents showcasing creations something like nothing done or created before. Along with the paintings viewer’s and art lovers can trace the revolutionary reflects in sculptures and installations.
Watch, contemplate and admire the revolution of expressions!
The exhibition will display Contemporary paintings and sculptures by Mumbai based Artist like

Note from Tuka Jadhav Artist+Curator
Einstein once said that the most incredible thing about the universe is that it is credible at all. There is chaos as well as order in it and after failing to find the Holy Grail of Science in his “Grand Unified Theory" Einstein took comfort in the peace and joy he found in the pursuit of art and music. It is a sad irony of our times that a sight impaired artist should embark on a guest to become the new visionary of the cosmic harmony that eluded Einstein himself. The art of painting can reflect reality like a mirror or distort it like a prism and it is but a magic alchemy of forms expressed in colour and texture in the manner of a shaman and sorcerer as Degas confessed. To give it an attribute of divine revelation is to rob the glory of creation from the creator himself.
Tuka Jadhav's story is as tragic as it is thought provoking. His rise from humble origins to win the Bendre-Husain Award is an inspiration to others. His catastrophic loss of vision an eclipse at the zenith of his career. His attempts at a renaissance are exemplary and grandiose. We are all moved by the divine beauty of creation reflected in nature. A writer and poet try to express it in words, a musician by melody and a painter with colour. "Synergism” is the coming together ef such creative energies to bring about peace and harmony. The mood is created by the abstract "Buddha" installation using a bicycle wheel, seat and screw. The centre-piece of the show is a gigantic 110 x 200" work called "Cosmic Harmony". It evokes the timeless and eternal influence of the Sun and the Moon to make nature blossom on earth. Like the Yin and Yang of existence the artist's handprint above the red-black sun expresses the commingling of matter and spirit....

- ARTIST+CURATOR by Tuka Jadhav
Sunday, 11 May 2014
Before I show my work, I would like to speak a few words about myself
I am Raj More, a Visual artist from Maharashtra (India) .Born and brought up in a small town in Akola ( Maharashtra), now I live and work in Mumbai. After my schooling in Akola I migrated to Mumbai to complete my further education in Art from Sir. J. J. School of Art from Mumbai, University Mumbai. For the last 15 years, after my graduation from “Sir J. J School of Arts’’ in 1999, I have dedicated my life for art and Painting in the field of visual Art while living in the Mumbai. I chose Mumbai...
Short Interview : by Pankaja JK
JK: Which
points do you consider important to develop your concept?
R.M.: For
me, painting is like a film. I give a 3-dimensional effect to every image. Composition
is also very important and powerful in framing the work; it forms the base of
good painting. I learn this in photography study. It makes my painting
accurate. There is a movement – if you see the bull, the crow, local train,
rickshaw or truck in my paintings they appear
to be moving.
JK: What
boosts your confidence?
R.M: That, I
should like my own painting as a viewer. Involvement in it and development of
the concept and completing it as I contemplated is very important for me. If it
is done, I feel self confident and I work with more zest and zeal. Also
people’s appreciation boosts my confidence.
J.K.: How is
your work process?
R.M.:
Intensity to put my ideas makes me go. It is a continuous process. I used
acrylic colors which dry instantly, so I have to be quick, perfect in applying
strokes and dapples. Acrylic perfectly matches my psyche. When I work, it is a
one man army and it is essential for me to complete the painting in one
sitting.
J.K.: Have
you ever had Vada pav (Indian
burger); utterly Mumbai’s snack for public and snack cum food for poor?
 |
| (Raj More as Mumbai local Brand artist) |
R.M: Vada pav and Misal! No soul in Mumbai or just a visitor would miss these tasty,
cheap and fulfilling snacks. Vada pav
is one of the identities of Mumbai city; the city where no one remains hungry.
And the specialty is that it tastes good only when eaten at roadside stalls.
Now-a-days posh malls are coming up and they have food joints where Vada is
sold in attractive packing at higher rate but it does not match the taste of
roadside preparation. This snack adds to the beauty of Mumbai.
JK: Which
personalities have inspired you?
R M: Frankly, I
have no inspiration from painter community. I do not follow any of them. I have
learnt from my own experiences and work. I never felt the need getting inspiration
from others. Yes I am impressed by Van Gogh, Picasso, but they are not
inspirations for me. IN India Hussain was a role model for me and let me clear
it that I admire Hussain for his initiative to popularize Art among the people
and also to make Indian Art known on the international platform. He had his
energy and truthfulness in his actions.
I am
inspired by film makers. I like seriousness and concentration that goes into
film making. My favourites include Kurosawa, Guru Dutt, Mani Ratnam and even
the upcoming Directors who genuinely make film. I try to give the effect of
movement. My paintings are films. I like cinema with message be it any genre,
but I don’t like humorous films without any useful content.
JK: What are
your future plans?
I intend to do installations and films.
I intend to do installations and films.
JK: That
Great! Wish you all the best for all your future plans and this show.
R.M: Thank
you.
Raj’s energy level is like Mumbai city’s energy level;
non-stop always high. As he was leaving I could see that he was thinking of a
mission that was on his schedule list and he was so restless that he did not
wait for lift and rushed down the stairs….Raj and Mumbai always on their toes….
