NAGUESH RAO SARDESSAI
Anant Vikas Jain is back again with second edition
of ‘Spandan Goa’ bringing some interesting works of art created by aspiring as
well as established artists from across various states of India.
Showing at the Art Gallery of Entertainment Society
of Goa, Anant Vikas revels in dabbling in art and allied subjects. This serial
entrepreneur and art enthusiast hails from culturally rich and colourful state
of Rajasthan. Having graduated in commerce from Kolkata, he immersed himself in
running various business enterprises accumulating vast experience and achieving
enviable success. With over two and a half decades of entrepreneurial
experience and having business interest in gems & jewellery, diamond tools
and power tools, Anant Vikas is currently organizing events and exhibitions
with an aim to promote art and artists.
Having recently made Goa his base, he works with
artists from across the country and endeavor to showcase their talent with an
aim to boost their career and attract commercial success.
From providing a platform for young painters,
sculptors and photographers to organizing private exhibitions for renowned
artists across India, Anant Vikas intends to bring a cultural synthesis. ‘Just
as there is a need for religious and spiritual leaders in our community, there
is also a need for artists,’ says Anant Vikas in admiration before adding, ‘The
artists help us step outside of ourselves and experience the world from a new
perspective.’
Twelve artists from across the country, that
includes three from Goa, will be collectively showing fifty of their art works.
Suresh Buddha, Cheerattan, Suresh Koothuparamba and Anirudhan Ettuveettil from
Kerala, Manishek Gupta and Shalini Jha from Mumbai, Era Tak from Jaipur, Vidya
Lakshmi from Tamil Nadu, S B Shariff from Hyderabad, Sujatha, Ninoshka Nadia
Dias and Shweta B. Satardekar from Goa are showing their creations.
Suresh Buddha’s finely painted leaves in various
states of compositions are pleasing. Manishek, currently working as assistant
art director in films in Mumbai does include period forms in contemporary
settings loaded with recent issues. Ninoshka’s Portuguese influenced Goan
windows bring back the drifting world of Portuguese era into focus. Shalini’s
realistic work adds freshness. Cheerattan’s unusually composed yet neatly
executed work fits in the contemposrary genre. He makes very poignant
statements and infuses cinematic appeal. Shweta and Sujatha’s women centric
paintings speak of their preoccupation. They have together, successfully,
managed to articulate their views. The rest of the artists have done justice to
their art and the exhibition.
‘Through art, we explore the essence of truth and
consistency, reminding people to work with nature and love,’ is what Anant
Vikas states with a view to spread this message, which is the need of the
hour.
Besides art
exhibitions, Anant Vikas organizes various other events across India such as
shopping festivals, trade fairs, brand activation, workshops, summer camps and
social events for special kids.
Spandan show, in April this year, will go to Jawahar
Kala Kendra, Jaipur as ‘SPANDAN
Jaipur’.
The works will be on view till March 3, 2014.
