NAGUESH RAO SARDESSAI
Aira and Sanjiv Mirchandani of Indian Ateliers have put up a show of promising young artists from Poona, Delhi and Varanasi at The International Centre, Goa.
This second edition of ‘Sublime Expressions’ has conceptual and stylistic variety on display. Diversity makes any show visually palatable and this show is no exception. Sanjeev’s selection of artists has always been precise which makes his shows appealing.
Except for Dipti Mohanty, who is a professor of Fine Arts at the Banaras Hindu University, the rest of the artists are either full time artists or are pursuing Masters program. Out of the fourteen creative painters participating in the show Krishna Avatar, Abhijeet Pathak, Anil Soni and Sagar Manandhar, have put up abstracts. Whereas, Dipti Mohanty, Devidas Yewate, Suresh Gulage, Vishal Yadav, Swapnil Srivastava and Ramesh Gujar prefer realism with subtle variations in the intensity and level.
Mainaz Bano, Kalyani Gulage and Ajay Sharma have a slightly altered perception. Working through the subconscious they tap the reservoir of past experiences and observations and create works that house an element of intrigue. R.S.Shakya does some of the most beautiful landscapes. Working in the reverse direction he seem to scrape the painted surface to expose the more subtle tints of the original colours. Thus a translucent quality derived out of this technique adds shimmer and draws attention.
Ajay’s surrealistic works has confluence of spiritual ideas and pragmatism. Currently pursuing MFA degree from the JMI University-Delhi, Ajay displays his angst and his struggle to grapple with the harsh reality called life. Mainaz’s Buddha exude serenity. Anil and Abhijeet’s abstracts need to be seen for the canvases overwhelm the viewers.
Devidas Yewate’s traditional forms from rural Maharashtra painted in bright reds, glowing yellows and earth hues appeal to the senses whereas Suresh’s architectural structures, Sagar’s mountainous terrains of Nepal and Krishna’s architectural abstracts deserve special mention.
Dipti’s depiction of famed Ghats of Benaras, if had been painted in a large format would have done justice to the subject.
