Exhibiting stark realities of life
KABLOOMS’: Nandan Ghiya’s painting showing explosions that could have happened anywhere in the world.Defining popular issues and stark realities of life will be a weeklong exhibition of paintings that opens at The Stainless Gallery in Okhla here on October 1.
“Popular Reality” will showcase the works of Apurba Nandi, Dileep Sharma, Gaurvi Sharma, Josh P.S., Murali Cheeroth, Manil Gupta, Nandan Ghiya, Pradeep L. Mishra, Sharmi Chowdhury, Tushar Joag and Vibha Galhotra.
More than 20 art works in oil and acrylics on canvas and paper will shed light on the personal views of the artists on contemporary issues. Through their medium and chosen topics, the artists reflect all the happenings in cities in which they are based.
According to Jaipur-based Nandan, he has explored the whole contradiction between a blooming flower and a bomb blast. “Though I was tempted to call my work ‘Serial Blast,’ I have not depicted the bomb blasts that took place in Delhi, Jaipur and Mumbai. My work ‘Kablooms’ shows explosions that could have been triggered anywhere in the world.”
In another worke titled “Mission Abort”, Nandan says it is again on the theme of anti-terrorism. “If you look at terrorists worldwide, you will realise that children are indoctrinated into terrorism at a very young age. They are brainwashed in ideologies that breed hatred. So I have showcased foetuses with guns on their backs and a pregnant female figure depicting Mother Earth,” says Nandan, who was trained in fashion designing at the National Institute of Fashion Technology in Delhi.
