It is time for the Mumbai canvas on the art circuit of Delhi
|
Love it or hate it Mumbai is the epicentre of art in India. Art Konsult and Gallery Beyond presented an art exhibition with Mumbai as the central theme at Lalit Kala Akademi recently. The exhibition named "Ye Hai Mumbai Meri Jaan" brought together a group of 21 young and dynamic artists, yearning to prove themselves.
Though the theme suggests an indispensable relation to Mumbai that didn't deter the artists from showcasing their best. Some contemporary images like those of Prajakta Palav Aher, Pramod Kumar, Dilip Dhare and photographs by Amol Nayal had a distinct familiarity with the various faces of modern Mumbai. Artists used everything from ink, watercolour and acrylic to pastels on canvas.
Nitin Aggarwal was highly appreciated for his untitled work, which held a remarkable calmness and serenity within it. He used mixed media on canvas stretched on board that bore a mark of hard work and skill. Sanjivkumar N.Yamgar used a lot of colours to bring the chaos reflected in the fast-paced Mumbai though he intended to discover his own self. He used bright and vibrant colours that had youthfulness in his paintings. Pramod Kumar had a sense of simplicity and sensitivity in his paintings. He looked to be influenced by some humanists and religious ideals as he evoked gentle sentiments by portraying rural India.
Inspiration
One of his works was inspired by Da Vinci's "The Last Supper" which itself was a great work of art. Here he used shades of black and white with a hint of red to give it a balance and employ it as a stimulus. Minal Damani has developed a distinct art form through her interest in crafting and creating various objects using mixed media, watercolour and ink. Dilip Dhore, talking about his work "Pata hai tum lout ke aaoge" said, "My paintings are a portrayal of my own life. It talks of relationships and hope. I have used the shades of pink in this work to show true love and affection that is hard to come by." There were some nice works by Ajay Dhandre, Satish Wavare and Anu Agarwal also on show.
The exhibition remains on view at Art Konsult till September 6.
