Priyasri Art Gallery presents new art event involving young and talented artists from the batch of 2009-2010 M.S. University.
Sumedh Kumar from Mumbai did his in BFA in Painting from Hyderabad University and MFA in Graphics from M.S. University. The artist negotiates the essence of impermanency moving out from the literal attitude of print making, amalgamating prints with various magazine cutouts. The works constantly change meanings and their perceptions in the viewer’s mind. His visual vocabulary is generated with an idea of can be & can’t be; hidden & unhidden, see & not hear, touched & but no sense and the invisible properties of the common objects.
The artist has depicted objects of daily usage, mostly recognizable to us, in an unfamiliar situation and a new light, to change our viewpoint and the way of looking at them, thus challenging our assumptions. For example, ‘kitchen’ here is created with utensils that are man-made rather to serve a specific purpose when they are put together.
He mentions: “I’ve tried to show the small link of stories happening with the utensils which are unheard and unseen like the story of glass and spoon or with the bowl and glass, frying pan and flat long spoon so on. I let the viewer use his or her own intuitions. There is a forcible act of fixing in the objects meant to represent the due changes in the modern society.
Elaborating on his work, another participating artist Deepak Mahakul mentions: “There is a rhythm in a nature. It’s a cycle that goes on and on. A continuing process goes just like the tide of sea. Day alternates with night and Winter alternates with summer. Nevertheless rhythm in the physical world is everywhere present in some or other.
"Same way seeds are also the hope for new plants and flowers. New dreams, new faith, new desires… That’s the ‘Rhythm of Life’. It never stops…
