Reliving memories through art

Openings windows to their imaginings of a reality that is unconventional and far removed from everyday trials, a group of artist have up with an artshow .

Titled 'Tales of Yore', the month-long exhibition has invited artists, sculptors and satirists including K G Subramanyan, Shanti Dave, Jogen Chowdhary, Manu Parekh, K S Radhakrishnan, Arpana Caur, Sanjay Bhattacharya, to name a few, and will go until February 28

Every work of art displayed is a passage its creator travels to tell a story, to make newer discoveries of visions gifted by time and its many paradigms.

Viewers can see the conflict between flawless time and the raw innocence of imagination which is best captured by the forever pursuits of quizzing minds that artists epitomise.

One of the artist Sandeep Jingdung has tried to reflect the experiences of his birth place Assam through his art work. From its flora and fauna, childhood memories to his love for natural surroundings, he has tried to infuse everything on the canvas beautifully.

On the other hand, K S Radhakrishnan with his sculptures attempts to give a reflection of history, memory loss and his deep engagement with the world.

Apart from nature and childhood memories, artists have also tried to depict different cultural aspects, imaginary characters and a lot more.

Based on mythology, Jayasri Burman's artworks have a lyrical quality, decorative designs and elements of folk idiom. Whereas, Arpana's work are feminine in context. Female figures emerge as symbols of solidarity.

Internationally acclaimed artist Jogen Chowdhury has also displayed his works in the exhibition.

Based on the memories, thoughts, dream and his immediate environment, the work is the combination of satire and anger, and real with imaginary in a fine sensibility and technique used by him.
