For One and All

The exhibition is the result of a workshop which concluded last week at the academy. “The intent of the exhibition is to bring together a select representation of these various artists,” says Ram Kumar Sharma,head of the academy,standing next to an installation titled ‘Faces of Infinity’ that reflects influences from the mechanical world. Put together by 25-year-old city-based artist,Shyam,the work presents the contrast between the thought process of a common man vis-a-vis another one who’s attained nirvana,through neatly pasted machinery.

While most works are acrylic and oil paints on canvas,a few have also used mediums such as collage,water colours,pencil,pen and ink. In her work titled ‘Entrance’,artist Seema Chauhan has used glass bangles,buttons,sequence and beads to create an artistic door on canvas.

The artworks are mostly amateur with some professional touches. A collage titled ‘Blossom’ by Mukesh Minu is particulary impressive. Though made using cut paper,it gives the impact of cut glass and work on textures is admirable.

On another wall,Meenu Munjal’s ‘Faith & Love’ zooms in on a sculpture inspired by Ajanta and Alora.

“This is my way of telling the world to keep the art and culture of India alive,” says Munjal,while her contemporary,Meera Ahuja,fights for the cause of tigers with her painting titled ‘Save the Tiger’,showing five tigers caught in their natural habitat.

The exhibition is on at Government Museum and Art Gallery,Sector 10,till November 20
