AAGHAZ, the new beginning
It’s been almost two
decades since the Creativity Art Gallery being in existence and doing its art
activities continuously. Either emerging talents or established artists have
been represented by the gallery during this long span of time. The gallery has
not only become a new platform for the hidden artist to showcase their mastery
but also provide its space for the experiments of the artist’s likes.
Title “AAGHAZ, the new beginning” of the group exhibition is
basically taken from Japanese word SAKURA (the cherry blossom), which is
a symbol of new beginnings and a fresh start. The show is embracing a new perspective—a
fresh look at the future and all the wonderful possibilities it holds and
therefore the gallery is showcasing twelve artists in this group exhibition.
Though, few artists have a long association with gallery, most of them are
being represented first time. The title itself makes an inner relationship. Now
a days, artists are increasingly choosing to represent themselves and sell
works as individuals instead of seeking representation by
art galleries, its indeed enormous efforts to choose and collect these
artists from all over the country in one platform. Each artist is known for his
unique technique and style, which is somewhat missing and lacking in the
mushrooming emergence of artists in the present time. Technique always involves
with a long implication of practical skills and therefore the artists are
chosen very much in this concern.
Bhaskara Rao Botcha says “The Tree” has remained constant as part of my oeuvre over the years in
my career as a painter, this is because of deep and innate bond with trees
that I cherish , which grew along with me in a rural Indian hamlet. Further,
Tirupati
Rao Addepalli says the painting image is an endeavor to depict the human act of
believing in or attempting something whose existence or outcome cannot be known
and Srinivasa Rao Potelu makes his point as a painter that he has been working on “Abstract Painting” since 1996
with extravagant fondness to paint metascapes, trying to depict something being
unrecognizable to the physical world. One of the most significant artist Chintan
Zalavadia’s works represent the sense of humor, satire, narrative and desire of
the human relationships and Manish Chavda the
other participants of the show has his unique approach to develop his artworks
by coating the colour on the canvas surface first and later de-coating colours
to reveal the hidden images of his mind. He says “Transitions are so subtle that they
are hardly noticed until they are gone. The bronge
sculptures of Srinivasa Reddy Bolla resemble oval shaped head which are portrayal of human
intellectual and spiritual powers. The heads are significant in his works. He
says, the head itself comes from a basic form of egg, which itself signifies
creation.
In addition to that Satya Sai Mothadaka
says every artist seeks inspiration from surrounding world or seek
visual raw material in experience of the world. In country like India, one of
the richest sources of inspiration has been and continues to be the repertoire
of motifs and symbols collectively defined by the term tradition. Thus most of
my works interprets traditional religious iconography and engages with the
objects and traditions of Indian mythology. The artist Tejinder Kanda has a very long association
with gallery and his rhythmic expressions on
canvas captivate the ambiance of life with all its trappings, with people
busily engaged in their daily routine and brimming with confidence, Farhad
Hussain's paintings are a mélange of vibrant colours and dwell on the human
figure. His works are narrative with each figure interrelated to the other.
Though, on a quick glance, one may feel awestruck by their presence, each
figure is an integral part of the work. Furthermore,
texts, words and scripts from verius langauges are an internal part of Jagmohan
Bangani’s art practice. For him the sound take the shape of words, words
overlap in language and meaning until it becomes an experience in itself and
surcharge of emotions.
Kerala-based contemporary artist, Pradeep Puthoor’s art
is dedicated to a fantastical world that is entirely his own. Strange creatures
and imaginatively designed buildings and structures, colourful and
playful, clutter his canvas. One the other hand Rinku Chauhan experiments with fresh materials every time, to surprise
himself with un-introduced character of the medium as well as the form to experiment
with materials. Every time he tries to use a material whose character is somewhat
new to him.
The new year always brings a festive season to the art scenario
in the capital city of the country, especially during the first two months of
the year. All galleries become very much active to curate and exhibit their
artists. India Art Fair could be a possible reason as most artists, art
galleries and art conousiers trevel to Delhi for visiting the art fair.
Although, most galleries are very much close to represent only their artists
during this period of time, either in Art Fair or their gallery space,
Creativity Art Gallery in this regard is very open to represent these twelve
artists all over the country (Uttarakhand to Kerala) with whom most artists are
exhbiting first time with gallery.
The director of the gallery Mr. Shekhar Jhamb says that he is
very much in willing to pramote the art practices which are not only
technically wise but also showing sincerity in their respective areas.
