Manish Upadhyay
Durga-3, Acrylic on Canvas, Blue, Red, Yellow by Contemporary Artist "In Stock"

2019

About the Item

Manish Upadhyay - Durga-3 Acrylic on Canvas, 36 x 48 inches Upadhyay titles most of his paintings as “Innocent”. He is preoccupied in most of his works in bringing out the strength of the Weak. Whether it is a rural boy taking out the goats for a walk or the imagery of the woman as Durga. He symbolises them into Durga’s to show that every woman has the potential of a Durga. The rural kids depicted often in blue have an equal potential with the alphabets that they string along. All that is required is to give them an equal opportunity like the city bred youth. His artworks highlight one of the bitter realities of our society – “The Primary Education System” in rural India in need of a big reform. Manish debates on those glamorous pictures projected in the newspaper and media are many a times away from the core reality. The rural kids possess the same potential (when it comes to contributing in nation building) as the city kids have, provided they get an equal opportunities. The usage of Goat, symbolic representation of English Alphabet as a cord, Newspaper hanging on Bicycle, the Bull and Flute adds soul to his artworks.

  • Boy Dancer, Acrylic on Canvas by Contemporary Indian Artist "In Stock"
    By Birendra Pani
    Located in Kolkata, West Bengal
    Birendra Pani - Boy Dancer - 66 x 42 inches (unframed size) Acrylic on Canvas In this series of works - “Boy - Dancer”, Gallery Kolkata revisits the artists very popular and well lauded ‘Boy Dancer’ suite of paintings on the plight of traditional Gopitua dancers from his native land, Odisha. The boy dancers who perform a devotional dance ritual are quickly declining in today’s cosmopolitan world. Pani entwines his empathy for the dying art with an opinion on our post-Modern era. In that respect, Pani does not try to create nostalgia for the decline in the taste for the dancers, instead he problematizes the issue by bringing in a dispassionate view of the issue. The ten canvases on display in this exhibition, features the Gopitua dancers in different situations. The canvases are a hyper-real portrait, far & close shots of a Gopitua dancers with liquid innocent eyes and a small smile playing upon his lips as he confronts the viewer. The blade is a recurring motif in Pani’s work and it has multiple functions and meanings. In this instance its meaning is rather clear — one where modernity eclipses tradition. Style : His fresh, perspective and contemporary canvases have loud and vivid images and use colors like green and shocking pink unashamedly. Pani says his works are preoccupied with exploring contemporary materials, culture and current lives of people, the negligence of local places, their culture, history, memory and their identity in present times. Further he feels the consumerist attitude has penetrated deep into the human psyche. Human beings are being consumed by the commodity rather than them consuming it. In his works, Pani explore the struggles, contradictions, dichotomies and critical reflections of the embodied selves with changes in value, knowledge and culture in our present society. “I have extensively used body parts like brain, heart and other organs, and everyday objects like capsule, syringe, blade etc to create a new visual language. Deriving from life experiences, my idea is to create a new vision by the juxtaposition of the above experience with the rich legacy, diverse visual culture and sensibility of the vast tradition of Odisha’s miniatures and Pata paintings, stone carvings, monumental visuals of temples and dance forms like Gopitua dance and Chhau-dance in Odisha.” Pani, thus attempts to create a new phenomenology and the reinvention of ‘self’ in a globalized and yet very localized world.
