28th Jan. – 9th Feb.’13: Pradarshak presents Debut Solo Exhibition of Abstract Paintings by Siddhesh Rane.
Siddhesh is a young
artist, who has been diligently honing his skills as a fine artist over the
last 6 plus years that gallery Pradarshak has known him. Articulate, simple and
dedicated, his interest lies purely in colours and their juxtaposition in his
imagery. Unpredictable forms, surface levels, depths, lines, textures are all
part of his paintings that are non-representational, vibrant, and tend to connect
with the aesthetic aspirations of the viewer.

Spontaneity is a strong
characteristic with the artist. A free spirited approach to his canvas sees the
artist work as deftly with the brush as with a palette knife or roller; or even
with unpredictable materials like the sole of his slippers, as fancy would take
him!

As the artist and his
canvas get further embroiled in their tête-à-tête, deft strokes build on
layers, some remove and destroy them, recreating unpredictable shapes, textures
and colour combinations. In this, multiple layers of depth and mystery are
established carefully maintaining the colour, temperature, shapes and balance
of the composition.

A candid submission by
this abstractionist, “In all this, first I guide the painting; and then I don’t
know when painting starts guiding me.”
Happy and energetic, the
show is a must see.
i like bright colors and application done by artist siddhesh.

I never understood abstract art. I like to think that i have a very healthy imagination. But what must one have to appreciate abstract art?

ReplyDeleteIf the four works of Siddhesh Rane displayed here represent his whole body of works, one becomes curious to see his remaining works to satiate one’s inner quest of knowing more about the imageries which play inside the creative mind of the artist. It is supposed that the works have not given any title, as these are the replica of the imaginations expressed in the language of ‘being and nothingness’. The mellifluent colour, composition, and texture looking so obvious in the vastness of the background, spread across the length and breadth of each canvas, can only be touched with mind, not simply scanned by a pair of eyes. The abstraction in the interplay of form and colour in the works bears a visual meaning having no reference points of the subjects around us. Let us learn a little bit of abstract art in this context. In the words of Herbert Read, the most influential English writer on art, “The explanation which has hitherto prevailed, and which I myself have accepted, sees in realism an expression of confidence in, and sympathy for, the organic processes of life. In other words, realism is an affirmative mode of expression, by which we do not necessarily mean the expression of an optimistic mood – there is such a thing as affirmation of the tragic element in life. But abstraction is the reaction of man confronted with the abyss of nothingness, the expression of 'Angst' which distrusts or renounces the organic principle, and affirms the creative freedom of the human mind in such a situation.” Though there are many more definitions, discussions, arguments and counter arguments about what abstract art is, yet nobody can deny the fact that an abstract artist has to have ‘creative freedom’. Rane perhaps has always kept it in mind, may be not consciously, which is why he could 'pen these priceless lyrics' on canvas with brush, with both depth and deft.
