Accents of Forms
January 3 @ 11:00 am - January 11 @ 6:30 pm
Artwork by Poonam Singh
Title: Conch Series- The Reverberation
Artwork by Jeetendra Kumar
Title: Modern Times
When a couple bond in their creative visual language, then a language of gestures is formed.
Poonam and Jeetendra Kumar have transformed their visualization into multiple references of forms in creative manifestations of visual art and sculptural forms.
“Love of animals, is a universal impulse, a common ground, on which all of us may meet. By loving and understanding animals perhaps we humans shall come to understand each other.” – Louis J Camuti
Poonam Singh’s paintings have spiritual leanings inspired by Indian philosophy in her ‘Conch Series’ that tend to evoke peace and harmony using symbolism that encompasses humanity as a whole. She explores her inner emotions and spirituality using the conch (shell) as symbolic of purity for the environment and that of a divine energy that resonates with the circle of life.
“Sculpture is the best comment that a painter can make on painting.” – Pablo Picasso
Her proficiency and interest lies in creating sculptural forms of humans and animals in clay and terracotta to emphasize on the organic nature and to connect with earth. Her practice is a tactile process that feels like a meditative experience in an approach to follow traditional Indian folk style and follows a contemporary narrative.
Jeetendra Kumar has dabbled with Abstraction that are thematic in intent, using swirls and patterns, representing a “symphony of emotions”. In few works, he creates ‘unbridled movement’ to portray feelings that reflect on the question of time against the rigidity of routine as inspired by Charlie Chaplin’s classic film, ‘Modern Times’. These series with sweeping lines are creative manifestations of chaos in our times, to include animal and human forms in his compositions. He attempts to portray “hope and opportunities in the complex and uncertain modern times”. Partial to the “strong, energetic” and representing beauty and elegance, the horse, is “ a powerful symbol of dynamic movement, the assertion of force” and a fundamental subject related to his work. His preferred colour palette are meant to radiate positivity with blues, reds and oranges that merge into “Oneness”.
