3 D PHOTOGRAPHY

NAGUESH  RAO  SARDESSAI

Dilesh Hazare is back with another unique and innovative show as usual. Dilesh, in collaboration with ‘Entertainment Society of Goa’ and ‘Goa State Film Festival’, has organised an exhibition titled ‘3D Photography’ at the ESG Art Gallery, Panaji.

This show, reflection of a similar attempt twelve years back titled ‘Aabhas’, is a much refined version with immense maturity seen through each of his photographic pieces. Enthralled by new techniques, technology and media as well, Dilesh begins to see opportunities in them. Employing technical nuances and exploring creative possibilities, he creates an altogether altered reality for the viewers to explore and experience.

Graduate in Applied Art from the Goa College of Art and further trained at C-DAC, Pune with specialisation in 2D and 3D animation, digital world is the natural playground for Dilesh and latest technology in art are his tools.

Passionate about art and eager to do something different led Dilesh to try his hands at different subjects, varied media and distinctive presentation. Here, he has captured scenic nature, magnificent and intricate architectural structures and affable people. All this through a special photographic technique that, on casual look, belies the intricacy involved and mastery required to get the desired results.

Coming a long way from his conventional sketches, watercolour landscapes and moving to abstracts, Dilesh keeps himself abreast with the latest trends to pushes the boundary of experimentation. 25 of these 3D photographs, put up for the show, have to be seen wearing 3D goggles. Each of these photographs come out to the viewers and overwhelm. One feels drawn into the subject, be it Goan countryside or architectural structure such as temples and churches or interestingly photographed individuals faces that Dilesh has come across.

Adept at handling reptiles, nature conscious and committed to environment protection, Dilesh has put up 3D photographs of snakes that nearly come out of the frame.

Participating in many group exhibitions in India and abroad and several solo shows to his credit that includes one at the Lalit Kala Academy - Delhi, Dilesh has been part of noted artist camps. His paintings are in private collections across the globe.

He seems to have fingers on the pulse and attempts to give the viewers a very gratifying experience. This show is no different.

The exhibits will be on view till May 6, 2018.
