Hello folks, we are at the Art Walk again at Jehangir Art Gallery. It’s 10 Dec 2023, Christmas is just round the corner and we have to make our celebrations bright. This time we have a unique thought of the wovens as art, a woven art canvas which is displayed at the Jehangir Art Gallery and today will be the last day. I have met Mr. Dinesh Kurekar. He hails from Aurangabad and has named is collection as wovenspaces. These hand woven take as much as 6 months for the 5 feet and 1 month for the 2 feet art designs. 

Artist Ramkrishna Kamble, he recollects his childhood spent near a temple and the music or the chantings of Krishna were so melodious that he could reimagine his past and put his feelings on canvas. Being a JJ alumni and teaching at college has been his inspiring steak. He also ads that his paintings are not depicting the devine love of Radha for Krishna in its purest form of music and Sadhana. Most of the paintings showing Radha worshiping to Krishna. He adds that his paintings has a colourful balance and at times gives a new textured effect. Residing from Pune Artist Ramkrishna Kamble has made a series of Radha Krishna Paintings which can be on the walls of temple guest houses or inside a holi book as a filler.

Artist Prakash Bhise, from Ghatkopar has his share of abstract paintings which brings live the colours of life and have painted these series of abstract which helps him bring the non-human form of art. 

Artist Digvijay, has a new idea of painting Lotus’s to show the struggle in everyone’s life which is not known until the achievement or the goal is has been attained. Each of his paintings are different yet have the same Lotus’s with fresh and some even florescent colours. These have a story of a new leaf or a flower blossom as a famour proverb “Kamal ka Phool hamesha kichchad main hi khilta hain.” Also the Buddha’s hand has a lotus which very symbolic to all Buddha preachers.

Artist Shenoy, has a very new and sculpt concept of Varanasi and Hampi on his bright canvases showcasing the emblematic Varanasi temple view with boats. He further adds that he has a passion to travel places and that helps him in putting them on his canvas mostly oil and not acrylic. Some of his paintings are object from around him since these were during Covid and the objects have become subjects. His current paintings out of which one is the large size of Hampi has his own way of making them look so very fulfilling. 

Do help us make more meaningful conversations with artist and art lovers at will shape our narrative.
