Artist: Pabitra Pal

Metaphorically speaking, an artist has an eternal connection with whatever the Creator has provided us within this world of conventional and unconventional materials. Born in the Pala clan by birth, the artist, Pabitra Pal, is a potter. Although none of his predecessors worked in the potter's art. But from an early age Pwarti responded viscerally to everything from making clay urns to making idols out of straw and clay, and seeing these methods time and again made him determined to establish himself as a Sculptor. In the soil, the impression of different parts of the body of people, animals and birds, the shape of dry dry land, after rubbing the soil with sand, he started to transform his sacred form into another form. Therefore, a strange metaphor smell is felt when looking at the sculptures and art of the first row of the holy flock.

Pabitra Pal lives in Medinipur district of West Bengal. He received his bachelor's degree in sculpture from Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata. Since his student days, he has been a favourite student of various well known artists and art educators and has been able to take his skills to another level in their practice. 

Pabitra started the journey of his artist life from a natural continuous life journey and gradually new transformations are taking place in his art practices as well as his life. Using mechanical parts of sails, cars, and various vehicles, and junk materials, he created new human forms, animal forms in his art. Somewhere else you can see part of a spade used in paddy field or its simile making its own shape. Sometimes, using animal heads, Singh has created a beautiful decorative pattern in the work. Gradually the characteristic qualities of a craft of the Pala dynasty began to take shape in the artist's art. On wood the crowns of various Pala dynasty princesses, their wearable egos and figurative forms have been embellished with great skill, using ornaments.

As we can see in the beginning, casting has been taken in different ways by melding completely natural materials and naturally surrounding the texture of the soil. While reviewing the sculpture of the artist Pabitra Pal and his metamorphosis, I can say in my perspective that both 3dimension and 2dimension diagonal form can be observed in the sculpture of the artist. Very simple, natural art making mediums are used. It seems to me that just as in everyday life we are constantly improving our character traits and changing towards higher standards, it is a natural dynamic movement as the artist's artwork and day by day move towards a higher style of thought. As the sense of aesthetic beauty is seen in the artist's work, the commercial quality is touched and noticed in the work. Dignified artisan Pabitra Pal has showcased his persona in his artistry. Pabitra's creativity at Transformative Metaphor exhibition highlights a fusion of computation and his own individuality. 

The Nippon Art Gallery of Mumbai is playing an extraordinary role in providing a platform to the artists showcasing their piece of art. Ahead of time, it is hoped that the artists shall be receiving great room for opportunities.

CONFLUENCE” An Exhibition of Paintings By Well-known artists Vishnu N. Sonavane & Jyotsna V. Sonavane

 

VISHNU SONAVANE  

When we engage in the arts, we dip into our souls to discover deep pools of wonder, breath-taking gifts of beauty, and quiet revelation. As we create, we are invited into playfulness, poignancy, and surprise-energies that renew us and revitalise our sense of purpose.

Overlapping geometric floating planes have always been my preoccupation. After establishing my signature style-rhythmic waves of floating figures and forms merging into one another in a harmonic symphony, I felt an urge to explore a new vocabulary. As such, change, transition and revisiting one's core are an indispensable part of an artist's journey and also integral to my artistic endeavour. 

Through my recent suit of works I seek to explore the realms of mythology, folklore, innocence and the vibrancy in beauty that are present all around us. These ephemeral images engage the viewer in a silent discourse into the dimension of transcendent reality. The past, present and future emerge as a flux of transitory shapes caught in overlapping layers of experience.

Rich tapestry of symbolic forms have been weaved in these paintings. Shri Dattatreya, the Indian god with three heads. appear as the central figure in my works. However, rather than exploring his divine aspect I focus on representing the god as the transient quality of human mind, the tender, the preserving and tough. Similarly, cows and birds are the constant recurring motifs in my works. Cows, indicate the creative and nurturing aspect of nature, whereas birds indicate the fleeting quality of the human mind. 

In a mix of figurative and abstract renderings, my paintings project delightful dramas with undertones a sublime ambience. I carefully create layers to build astonishing tones and textures that give these works a peculiar radiance. I employ a palette dominated by the blue of the mountain sky, ochre and crimson complemented by the muted shades of the midnight grey, the spring green and the muddy brown and highlight them with sharp, percussive strokes of mellow, placid hues.

In total, these images create multi-layered crystalline narratives that present luminous tales, mesmerise the viewer, touch their hearts and stir their souls.  

JYOTSNA SONAVANE  

As an artist, my best work comes from the deepest place inside of me which fulfils the need to create. Painting thus becomes an inward journey for outward expressions I have always considered painting as a discrete language, not of words but of perception, feelings and beliefs. My paintings are impressions of the internal aspects of my life. These images of internal struggles of life. In essence, I am finding myself.

Living in an artistic family. I was exposed to art conversations every day. However, it was only until a few years ago that I developed the courage to express my thoughts, dreams, memories and aspirations through art. Art has the power to heal and transform. When I discovered just that, I knew I had to dedicate my life to making others feel "something" when in the presence of my art.

I like to work with the abstract language of lines and colours because the compositions continuously evolve and acquire new meaning as time passes and the perspective of the viewer changes. My inspiration comes from the colours and forms found in nature. I employ a variety of self-discovered techniques to create abstract paintings that mimic things we see in nature like stone, petrified wood, flowing rain water. My work is alive with emotion through the movement of the brushwork and the luscious layered colours. Much like memories, each painting is filled with layer upon layer of paint, building a rich history into each piece.

Being a self-taught artist, I devote a lot of time on observing, perfecting my skill with practice and continuous learning. I create through intuitive responses while engaged with the work. The process is completely organic and spontaneous. However, irrespective of what I feel at the time of painting, my constant pursuit is that the viewer experiences sheer delight in the presence of my works.

Sometimes, a rainbow of colours emerges from the onyx, whereas at times, an epoch passes by in the golden light and every time, hope wins over despair, I am aspired to start all over again. Where words and ideas end, my creative process begins, my internal landscape comes forward, I work intuitively, drawing from this vast boundless space from inside as well as outside.
