The current generation of artists has been producing quality work and is constantly in a hurry to upgrade their skill and produce excellent art works. They don’t sit content with the limited quality output. There is a persistent effort to explore and discover conceptual and stylistic variety.
Ruchika’s Art Gallery, Miramar, had recently hosted a show of the works of young art graduates, Sudin S. Kurpaskar, Sandesh D. Shetgaonkar and Archa R. Kamat.
These fresh graduates from the Goa College of Art, Altinho, with excellent academic track record, show a lot of promise. Even though conceptually and stylistically not very radical, their latent skill does get projected in a subtle way.
Sandesh and Archa are preoccupied with the female form however Sudin is in the process of establishing a communion with the nature. Especially with the winged elements - be they eagles, sparrows, parrots and others.
None of the three intend to preach or display ideological leaning. If there is any message conveyed in the process, it’s not with a deliberate intent. They are more involved in creating rather than establishing any fact. This innocence is what draws one to their works.
Each of the three has their individual strong points that give them enough scope to cement their identity in the long run if they remain consistent in their dedication. Experience breeds maturity. And maturity helps deliver quality. One cannot get matured overnight and as such the trio, one can be sure, has the capacity to produce excelling works in the years to come.
Archa’s works are more connected with the Indian culture and environment. Shy ladies, delicate figures, conspicuous glances, colourful surroundings etc. stand out to connect with the viewers. Young girls in contemplation, ladies in conversation, another in deep meditation and such typically local compositions get a special place in her works.
Sandesh, on the other hand, attempts to capture the basic reality in nature on the canvas; the naked truth to be precise. His forms harbor no such inhibition. They are bare and bold establishing the original nature of human beings. His female forms are contorted, sometimes in an unusually awkward pose yet nothing seems odd or unnatural. He has been fairly successful in formulating a style, which has a blend of western contortion and Indian lyricism. Each of his work, seemingly similar to the other, establishes unique identity. The choice of colours adds a special touch to his works.
Sudin on the contrary makes no effort to institute stylistic uniqueness. Not that the others do, however, Sudin seems to concentrate on developing his draftsmanship. It is pertinent to observe his brush strokes and note the overall handling of the pigment. Neither his choice of subjects nor his compositions fall in the highbrow category yet he does make the viewers introspect. Nature remains his focal point and birds in particular his primary concern.
All three artists hold a promising future.
