Young talent from Baroda on view

Priyasri Art Gallery presents new art event involving young and talented artists from the batch of 2009-2010 M.S. University.

Among the participating artists, Anjali Goel from Haryana accomplished her Bachelors in painting from Kurukshetra University and Masters in Graphics (printmaking) 2009. During this period, she explored many new and traditional techniques of printmaking, and is now working on mix media techniques.

Her semi-surreal works are generated from constantly unraveling drama of everyday life. It is comprised of a multitude of images from nature, birds and beasts, stars in the overarching sky, as well as dreams of distant lands beyond the water.

While juxtaposing her drawings and etching prints denotes the outer society and superficiality of human being, in a way they also comment the counterfeit and stark truth of today society.
Kanika Shah, who belongs to Baroda city, has done her Bachelors in Painting and Masters in Graphics (printmaking).

She also presents the different facets of day-to-day life, using the language of Figurative and Narrative manner. Her work - mostly huge wood cuts and small etching prints - carries recurring images of self and clouds. It depicts the artist’s various moods. She attains perfection with child like drawings.

Rachana’s work is based on materialistic life. She feels that in today's times, the value of human being is decreasing. People are merely running after materialistic life. She adds, ”We are more interested in valuable things in our homes & outside, rather than our private & public relationships with people around us. We forget somewhere the human values and the purpose of our life.”

In her work ‘Crowded Place’, she has tried to show society in the form of beehives with no space to breathe and move. Objects like mosquito net stand for a state of our society where the evil characters are increasing very fast because we provide them energy and chance to grow.
