"The size and age of the Cosmos are beyond ordinary human understanding. Lost somewhere between immensity and eternity is our tiny planetary home."

— Carl Sagan

 

We are a newly evolved civilization. Only recently we have invented "Technology" it hasn't been that long but from the time we began we have come a long way it may seem like a long time if you look at it as compared to our life spans but looking at the history of Civilization it is a very short period in date this technology may have developed faster then we did, we may think the world of ourselves but the truth is  close at hand now - as the world struggles to find a cure order means to control a tiny virus we realize that we really aren't all that award we really have a very long way to go if we I want humanity you carry on longer than the sun survive it is not going to be easy but we have to start somewhere start with understanding and compassion it is not just discoveries and inventions it is also love, kindness and compassion for each other and for all life.

 

 

Here is an attempt to weave together some sensitive works of art and bring them forth in this exhibition to invoke thought and contemplation

Devidas Agase

Deepak  Khandelwal

Gaurvi Sharma

Kavita Jaiswal

Sukesan Kanka

Pratul Dash

Rajendra Kapse

Yashvant Singh



Ashok Gulati

Ashok Gulati says that “There is a certain meditative quality in my work. A quest into the unknown. I try to reach  out through the mind’s eye to go beyond the and into the transcendental. My imagery is simple yet mature, with a certain positivity towards the world and all life on it.”

Yashvant Singh

Yashvant SIngh says that I manifest the innermost emotions onto work surfaces, writing in a language which is my very own, a script of the mind, spontaneous with my deepest feelings. I work with elements and symbols witnessed in the tribal community around me during my growing years, its rituals, telling of stories of the ancestors and tales of deities narrated in gatherings. I instinctively began to incorporate them into my visual language.’’


Rajendra Kapse

Kapse says that “In life he has successfully blended this essence of his being into his work being a natural performer too. All my works invoke satire raising serious issues by means of my performative  imagery. The approach is candid and refreshingly bold and has been referred to as a“funny” artist because of the motif of the self icon with a clownish appearance that has all kinds of funny gestures. The imagery blended in my self portrait is done in  calendar art style. 

Pratul Dash

Pratul Dash says “being a committed artist I have been working towards creating awareness about climate change, from the time when it was not such an acknowledged or prevalent topic. I have worked with many media, paintings, drawings, photography, video art…. and has done various site specific installations and performances to draw attention to the anthropocene. Climate change has now started to have very real impacts on the everyday lives of people around the globe, rising temperatures, floods, forest fires and many more that begin to threaten human existence as we have been used to for hundreds of years of recorded histories. Art has an important role to play in bringing awareness toward such neglect.”

Devidas Agase

Devidas talks about  how his work is intense and sensitive, he is concerned about climate change, socio-economic difficulties faced by farming communities, and their dependence on natural resource for their crops and cultivation, even so their own survival, despite the global technological advancements and the unthinkable wealth of the few

Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?

We have always had a debate when it comes to the topic - "Is studying abroad a boon or a bane?" The ideas differ from person to person. If you ask me, I would surely say that Studying Abroad is certainly a boon. Why is that? India is home to many universities which are known worldwide. Having said that, we must also accept the fact that none of them are in Top 20 at least. While there are many factors that attributes to this, when a person has the means to afford it combined with interest and talent, I do not see the reason as to why one shouldn't be educated abroad? While few study for their status symbol, majority of them predominantly study abroad to enhance their career. There is no doubt in it. Take a look at this brilliant video before we could proceed further. Having said that, the option isn't available to all who wanted to go out of India. The major hindrance for us is clearing the English tests which were being conducted across the glob...
