The current online exhibition, an exclusive women’s show, on International Women’s Day, features the creations of seven women, that are backed by painstaking gestation, plenty of soul searching for the right ideations, and ultimate fine-tuning into a relevant opus that appeals to the eye and inner being.
The ethos behind the lion forms of artist Bandana Kumari showcases the resolute character of women power hidden behind her feminine deportment. Hence her vocabulary of a traditional animal form, the male lion, to convey her thought, via a realistic artistic style. Artist Daina Mohapatra makes an apt choice for her depiction of family togetherness submerged in a soft tonal dreamscape of imaginative configurations. The works of artist Sangeeta K Murthy has a strong contemporary underbelly coupled with a realistic halo of flying animal forms enclosing a jigsaw of high rises. The repetitive patterning around the central form, influences viewer reactions into a well-ordered synchronisation. The cluster of migratory birds homing on a tree by artist Sarla Chandra, spell out a comforting message of togetherness, under one universe. On a higher plane the same pictorial content suggests a spiritual confluence of body and mind into a holistic well-being. For artist Shuchi Krishan, the co-mingling of the season of spring with that of womankind, curates the duo into an idyllic connectivity. Even the choice of the yellow tint for her form and drapery, makes her imagery an unshakably distinct offering. The horses in the work of artist Sujata Dere are bemused with a soul-searching mystique as they canter across her art space in sombre tonal strokes of black, merging into grey. The offering from the stable of artist Vimmi Indra has a predictable dependability as the female figure is representative of a rebooting of becoming harmony. Hence the select group of feminine creations is bemused with inputs that augur well for a ore woman-powered future in time to come.
