“Celebrating Life” Indian Culture Paintings - Cyrus Bharucha, Art Consultant -Mumbai
Celebrating Life
Indian art is not monolithic, nor
is there one kind of Indian-ness, in today’s global village, Indians are
exposed to cross-cultural ideas and the work they produce is influenced by many
sources. To be Indian, there’s no demarcatable identity. Your Indian-ness comes
from the genius of possessing a membrane that absorbs and selectively absorbs
from many cultures and indigenises it in the process. If you’re able to do that
authentically and create an original voice, that means you’re able to extend
your vision of the world, then you’re Indian. Having established an identity,
many of the artists, are creating works that appear Indian in terms of figures,
forms and colours, and they are tending more toward culture while their works
very well may still address Indian themes. Considering these basic experiences
the group exhibition Celebrating Life is structured such that each work carries
its own flavor.
In the paintings of Laxmi Mysore, and Syed
Asif Ali colourful forms play hide and seek with the pictorial surface to
release their untamed creative energies. Krishna Ashok layers the surface with
spontaneous mark makings interplaying elegant elementary of water & fire
the active shapes of a representational
Kandi Narsimlu wants the viewer to
experience his work with composition, theme, and other elements of traditional
work. The medium and materials of the work is its reality, and what he prefers
to portray. The basis being on a work’s literal presence, the materials used
are not intended to symbolize anything else. Sanju Jain translates mystical
energies into the formal purity of colours creating pleasing forms a distinct flavor in this reiterating the dictum that all things are in flux: they
resonate with the cadences of a universe that continually brings its
precipitates to birth, only to subject them to decay, dissolving them in
history's acid current.
Mythologies & sacred narratives are a way of life in India, where existence is often reassured by faith and belief this is observed in Pramod Apet’s Radha Playing the Flute and Mamata Shingade’s Buddha Sachin Akalekar places motif of Bull in a dreamy space teasing the naïve viewer. Satyajeet Shinde precepts the game of chess comparable with the ancient cultures. The co relation of Kings---chess game---realism with abstraction is seen like the yin-yan..

This is the story of a young boy who lives in a remote village in Maharashtra. He decides to get a large pocket stitched for his school shirt, in which he keeps all his precious belongings - petals, coins, marble balls; A pocket, he is proud of. It sets him apart from others his age, whose pockets are not only smaller in comparison but also ordinary and similar to each other in appearance.The little boy does not understand the politics of symbolism that adults engage in, and his pocket soon becomes a point of contention amongst elders in the village ...
This tragic story of the loss of innocence and coming-of-age of a young boy, is ironically symbolic of the times we live in.

Director Statement
The story narrates a social-political contemporary tale on recent time period.
Even today we are more concerned about caste and religion rather then our daily bread. We always love to talk about our history and we have always used our great men for own selfish needs.This short film "Khisa", throws light on these issues.
