Bajaj Capital Art House presents works of thirteen noteworthy artists at Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai.
Entitled ‘Beyond The Form’, the BCAH annual show features the young luminaries as well as senior artists, namely Satish Gujral, Jayasri Burman, George Martin P.J, Jagdish Chinthala, Maya Burman, Murali Cheeroth, Nitish Bhattacharjee, Paresh Maity, Sunil Padwal, Viveek Sharma, Vivek Vilasani, T.M. Aziz and Anil Gaikwad.
The show was first hosted at Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre, New Delhi. It then moved to Gallery Art Positive in the second week of August. ‘Beyond The Form’ continues until August 31 at Jehangir gallery.Jayasri and Maya Burman bring to life their familiar old world charm and fascinating reflections of folk form in their captivating contemporary coloration.
‘A Touch of Elegance and Looking For Closure’ by George Martin P.J’s enact an enigmatic drama of contemporary life in urban situations. The acrylic on canvas paintings captures the outer layer of urban spaces that reflect the post-modern sense of reality. Murali Cheeroth’s new video work revolves around on research on the use of harmful pesticides in & and around rural South. T.M. Aziz’s work is serenely steeped in Kerala’s expressionistic figuration.
Nitish Bhattacharjee also has moved to abstract or ‘non-representational art’ as he calls it. He has created an acrylic on canvas. His narratives may be termed as encounters between lines and hues. Vivek Vilasini’s digital archival ink on canvas portrays, a general in the Vietnam army, General Wong Neo Giang Giap, who fought the French and American armies.
His other work is based on the existence of a Bible, which can be acquired online at Amazon.com and off the shelves in Bangalore. The delicate irony these works evoke sure impacts existing ideologies, and inevitably influence the viewer’s cultural and social consciousness.
Known for his multi-faceted oeuvre in form of paintings, graphics, sculpture, mural, interior design and architecture, Satish Gujral has constantly dominated the Indian art scene. His work is largely inspired from the elements in contemporary living he uses to create forms, which he considers not only modern but also infused with great energy and motion.
