Artistic friction or fusion between nature and human

“Human form is an inevitable extension of nature. All the forms in it animate -inanimate including human form are the structures of nature, if we trace the origin of it, then we realize they are made of atoms and cells with different configurations. One can sense nature functioning within and beyond through meditations.”

This is how Neeraj Goswami’s explains his artistic agenda. The idea is to establish an artistic connection between the real and the perceived. He believes the perceived is according to our cognition influenced by different factors the real has been there always without change it is like the core, which is stable and eternal even while the crust is ever changing.

According to him, when one reaches a certain state of mind within, one realizes the eternal essence of being going beyond the mundane.According to the artist, the challenge is to create, explore and understand the geometry of the human body. He does so by breaking the forms as we tend to see outwardly and then simplifying the structure so as to make it look aesthetically more defined than the actuality.

Going beyond the mere forms, at a broader level, it’s the yearning of soul to discover solitude and peace amidst all the chaos of tumultuous life is the core of his practice. He reveals, “I believe truth lies in the moment. I am building my very own iconography by trying to weld silence and music, triangles, planes, sharp angles and curves merge with mysterious depths and fluid shadow-lines that balance out.”

Explaining how he perceives the bonds or boundaries that exist between humans among themselves and nature, he has stated: “It (friction) leads to repulsion and ultimately to destruction, whereas fusion can lead oneself to higher stages of attraction (at the level of consciousness).
