FOR THE VIEWER IT’S A PAINTING FOR ME IT’S A SCULPTURE.

I begin my visual when I am full from inside. The process is to empty myself. It’s always a big step to enter the white space. This white space for me already creates the whole visual beauty within me. This white space is a flow of energy through me. Challenging me to react and diffusing the presence of the surrounding then it’s me with the vacuum in front. I start disturbing this vacuum space through my understanding of visual elements. I play with it by keep on guessing the right layer for the structure. Actually attempting various options to develop new network for research.

The process is in rising flow creating a pyramid. Step by step whole visual start strengthening its presence. The divisions in space created through depth allow me to continue further. Speaking about the colour in this visual is related to the silent comment, which I make. My colours for me come with the “sound “. I can feel the sound through my colours. These colours create a kind of atmosphere, which changes the meaning of form for that space.

Form in the space is single and form with all the visual is repetitive. The black form with glossy skin is the metaphor of being different in the visual. This only black form indicates the force, grace, flexibility, movement and direction for the visual. This form with it speed break the silence. The circle reacts as gravity for other form to revolve in the space. The circle indicates the control of speed. Lotus form present itself in two ways for me. This image is printed as a childhood symbol that cannot be deleted. Second aspect of lotus is to command itself as a symbol of hope in difficult condition. This word “hope” is very important in my life both as a person and as an artist.

Gold is used not as a “dominance” but as a “enhance”. We are on a journey with a vision ahead. The space between journey and me is unknown. The process comes with enormous surprises of visual elements, which decide the time frame. This time frame represents our maturity of neutral approach throughout. Representing a female form in my visuals is added on aspect of vibrations. It’s a temptation resulting in diversion. Attempt to be a part of the family of visuals. Here lies the real stretch in this pulling of words. In visual even though every aspect of visual is it colour, form, texture, drawing, space is individual in strength then also they relate for each other acting for one whole beauty thus using of Arabic calligraphy is a part of cultural beauty and its importance to link between me.

I allow both flow of known and unknown. Interaction with the visual space is an ongoing process. I see the “Horizon” and I see the “blue sky” to be touched one day. I am on my way keep following me.

   Siemens Sanat Gallery shows 'The Real Challenge Is Elsewhere'

   Friday, 09 January 2009 22:41

   

   ISTANBUL, TURKEY - Contemporary art gallery Siemens Sanat, Istanbul welcomes the new year with a striking exhibition, “The Real Challenge Is Elsewhere”. The exhibition, which displays the works of three artists from Turkey, India and Netherlands, is on view through 28th of February. Curated by T. Melih Gorgun and Murteza Fidan, ‘The Real Challenge Is Elsewhere’ presents the cultural differences between Eastern and the Western cultures as reflected in the works of Gozde Ilkin, Javed Mulani and Wafae Ahalouch el Keriasti.
   
   Expressing that the exhibition presents the contrast between Easterner’s spiritual-based perceptions of reality with Westerner’s visual-based perception, T. Melih Gorgun adds, “This exhibit presents the liability for the evil created by the cultural-clash and the increasingly banal thoughts about human evolution which stem from the clash between these two cultures.”
   
   Despite their cultural differences, the works of the artists in the exhibition, reconcile with each other through drawing, without any bias. T. Melih Gorgun clarifies how this reconciliation takes place by stating, “The human being in its natural state is wild. It is sociability that changes human nature, and forces him to live with his undeterred passion and insatiable desires and turns him into an alienated being of consciousness.
   
   Artist Gozde Ilkin (Turkey) describes her works as short stories about the transformation of the body in the face of man shaped by modes of consumption, areas of living and experienced relationships.
   
   Artist Javed Mulani (India) expresses that his drawings, by releasing energy in a positive way, reflect his belief that the future will bring more than what is expected of it.
   
   Wafae Ahalouch el Keriasti (Netherlands) explains that history; religion, politics, films, media, families and fairy tales are the greatest sources of inspiration for her in the past five years. The artist frequently uses the themes of weakness versus power, male-female relations and guilt versus innocence in her works.
   
   The exhibition ‘The Real Challenge Is Elsewhere’ is open to visitors at the Siemens Sanat art gallery every day between 10:00-19:00 through February 28th.

Group show at siemens Sanat titled "real search is elsewhere" - 2009 at Istanbul, Turkey

Understanding art is a new experience and experiences never end. This
entangles me in the process of art. I started my initial art lesson by following old
masters paintings under the guidance of my mentor Mr. Sunil Nandgoankar. The
journeys continued at the famous campus of Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai were
I learned the aesthetics involved in visual process. I involved myself in thorough
academic studies to command over the medium and techniques to enhance into
visual exploration.

Drawing is the first stage of process in which the idea emerges and settles on
a visual space. Drawing can come as a source for accelerating the process or it
may form as complete work of art in itself. I see my drawing as lines that break
themselves and convert into forms. The Intensity and force applied grips the line
to the surface. The tonal variations implied between lines breaks wholeness of
space and generate movement optically. These lines come with an intention but
impulsively. The process of impulsive drawing is after understanding a subject
or object, exploring the unknown possibilities to network the link of artist's
aesthetic sensitivity. The distortion and addition or simplification about the
existing form is due to the contribution of observation, perception, understanding,
transformation and sensitivity.

My recent series of work evolved gradually from the society. It's not an instant
reaction or respond to what's happening around. Visuals explored are the
experiences being identified separately. Today's world
is facing terrorism
under the label of Islam has added more to the insecure feeling. My work is not a
statement but it's an experimental expression of contemporary situation depicting
the psyche of the mislead society. This constant feeling of being separated
sometimes has become the content of my work. The tragedy and incidents
happening around develop into concept of work.

The play of dominance or to over power has generated a new dimension which
is without structure. Whether you are involved or not, you face it all the time. This
is the general expression of an individual. My drawing represents the mental and
physical existence with bold lines and pure colour. It's a process to release the
energy in a positive way. There is lot more unexpected to come in future to
challenge my creative senses. This keeps me alive and aware to contribute
with artistic intellect.

Dear Friends,

I recently had a group show of painting at Artist Centre Gallery, Mumbai on 13th June 2011 with

Mrs Pragati Dalvi Jain.

The Show was titled as "Ripples"

My work represent the sensibility of Human psychology toward living. Consideration of certain assumptions to be fact of our life we encroach into the space we desire to neglect. I have created each work with individual aspect towards it. It reflects the viewer there own existence and responsibility towards this society. We are being the part of this with our own agreement.

Our one act is responsible for so many reactions. Aesthetically i have used animal forms to express the reality through metaphors established with that form. It is open space for the viewer to interact and connect. As a viewer it allows to enter in the subject visually and represent the self in the journey of art appreciation.

Every form colour has arrived with specifications. Though this specifications are on personal basis but it also reflects a general idealization.
