Priyasri Art Gallery is delighted to announce a group show titled “Pristine” facilitated by artists Jagannath Mohapatra & Roshan Chhabria.

'Pristine' This show manifests the time of students where the language is in between developed and undeveloped.

 

Artist: Drashti Garala 

Language itself is contradictory between the working process and the thinking process. By fostering an awareness of their artistic techniques and choices, Students' working process is very much spontaneous, like playness, they can turn anytime according to their current mood. Their works soon expand into a space for “transcendence and transformation” contemplating the creative process, involving the preparation, marination, and self-reflection that many realize.

For example, they start a painting in a very joyful mood, and in-between they have a fight with a friend..so that mood reflects on the same painting, we can see different rasa in a single frame.

This holistic development channelizes all aspects of students' personalities in an integrated manner, embracing the main aesthetics that rules Indian arts, i.e. the rasa theory. 

In Sanskrit, rasa means a juice or flavour that has to be tasted. Without a doubt, the experience of appreciating a work of art depicting human emotions is like tasting or relishing the flavour of some emotions. Then like the tasting of a dish, this relish-able feeling too is felt within oneself, i.e., gets internalized.

Thus, this show ‘PRISTINE’ reflects the inner experience (thoughts, feelings, mental imagery, sensations, etc.) of the young, which is directly present in the awareness before it is distorted by attempts at observation or interpretation.  

The process encapsulates the beliefs about the self, beliefs about what inner experience should be like, inaccurate recollections, miscommunications, and other confounding influences.

So sometimes it is necessary to see the works of students, it helps us to break the sentient of developing language, creating a parallel experience to the sense of one’s own i.e. Consciousness, spiritual and moral questions.

That’s why I am thinking, the artwork of students is  PRISTINE.

“Chitralatika” Paintings series on the life of Bharat Ratna Late Lata Mangeshkar ji. by Limca Book, Asia Book & India Book Record

 

Pictorial Tribute to Bharatratna Late Lata Mangeshkar the nightingale of India 

Ramkripal Namdev is rare artist, who has his unique style of painting. This Jabalpur based artist has painted Lataji & Gandhiji in a very different manner for which his name is registered by 3 famous recording institutions. Asia Book of Records, India Book of Records & Limca Book of Records, all 3 have conferred him certificates & honoured him for his unusual achievement. This is his 11th solo exhibition. He has earlier exhibited in Delhi, Mumbai, Bangalore & Jabalpur in solo & group exhibitions. 

           Now let's write about his special & unique style. In one painting of Lataji he has painted 630 faces of world famous women, who have contributed in their respective field. Collecting data of 630 women personalities with their images is itself a huge task & painting them in miniature style in background is another. Apart from this 299 faces of lata ji and he has painted LATA letters also & Lataji's portrait in foreground. In another painting he has painted all felicitations of Lataji by famous personalities happened in her entire life at background & Lataji in foreground. 

While painting Gandhiji in same way, he has painted 230 patriots of Gandhi's contemporaries at background & Gandhiji in foreground, trying to depict that Gandhiji was main source of inspiration for them. Here also collecting data of 230 patriots & their images is difficult task & painting them is another. He has painted all his paintings in oil on canvas medium with skill & commendable patience. There are many paintings on Lataji hence this show is titled "चित्रलतिका ". Apart from Lataji & Gandhiji artist has painted other subjects also like Lord Shiva, Lord Hanuman, Lord Ganesha, Ram-Seeta, little girl & few others.

Romartika launches month-long group show of paintings at Malaka Art Gllery

Romartika launched its first offline group show at Malaka Art Gallery, Koregaon Park, Pune. There will be four back-to-back group shows throughout the month of April’22. The first group show was inaugurated on Friday afternoon by Art Historian Deepak Kannal and Artist Sharad Tarde.

The neo-abstract realism by Artist Prakash  Ambegaonkar held the visitors in awe. The interplay of mysterious yet familiar forms beckoned the viewers into a surreal world of light and shadow. After a vibrant career as a leading architect in the US, Prakash returned to his homeland and dedicated himself completely to art. His rapid emergence as an artist with unique style captured the fancy of the art lovers in India.The geometric abstract by artist Aarti Sharma is another dig into what has not been painted before. Unlike the usual abstract expressions in vogue, Aarti’s large canvases draw the viewer into the womb of an enigmatic space. Perhaps her background as an interior decorator and designer reflects in her style. It is hard to categorize Aarti’s style, because Aarti too, like Prakash, is walking the uncharted territory of protocol and convention in the arena of art.

Ranjeet Ram Sathe’s life-size image of mother and child stopped the viewers on their track. Mesmerised gazes remained stuck on his sublime expression of love and affection. Ranjeet, though young, had already worked as a lecturer and creative director. But over the years he moved into sculpting. A multifaceted talent, Ranjeet, believes that poetry can also be painted. His paintings can be described as poetry on canvas.

Artist Pallavi Kiran’s composition of Indian Classical spirit appealed the art lovers with an ancient melody of the mystics. Pallavi, a professional from the field of academics, was not present during the opening but her canvases raised the charm of the exhibition.
