Event
"A Gathering" Group Show
A Gathering brings together works
summoned by a group of artists, akin to a group of leaves taken together, one
inside another, like in binding a book.
Preetha Kannan's work is a
relationship of the vibrations of colour. No isolated melody is heard. The
whole is a symphony of the vital and ever changing natural life, buzzing,
pulsating, almost to the point of enchantment. Into this enchanted world steps
Manish Chavda with delicacy and deftness of his brush strokes, savouring the
process of rendering a plant, a wild landscape or just some flora; an intuitive
communion with the natural world. Viewing his work is akin to that of listening
to music or reading a poem, one passage lingers in the memory and reverberates
there as the eye passes on to the next, to Mogallan Shravasti and Shiladitya
Sarkar, subtly transiting, the mood of uninterrupted reverie, gentle changes
from soft washes to firm brush strokes, from diaphanous forms to sharply
focused details."It is all about being "says Minal Shah layering transparent
images on identical portraits on all canvases. Her work talks about existence,
entanglements, traffic of life, giving the viewer literally a visual ride.
