3D’s Different Dimensions and Definitions

The exhibition‘3Ds- Different Dimensions and Definitions’ exhibits works by three artists from three different parts of India, exuding the energies of the academic institutions in which they got their formal training in art. While variables are more in their lives, the constant that connects them is the location, the city of Delhi where all of them find their inspiration during the stay or sojourns. 

Akash Choyal, a dreamer by nature has been working on the philosophical notion of the movement of mass within the space and the meanings that the mass creates during such movements. With a strong training in the sculptural as well as painterly traditions of India, Akash has experimented with the sculptural forms in his earlier fiber glass works. However, of late, he has taken a special interest in creating three dimensional drawings using both the skill of hands and the properties of certain computer software.

Debasish Das is one of the young artists who have the ability to push ceramics into the zone of expressiveness and expressions by articulating various facets of contemporary life. By transcending the physicality of clay, which of course during the conversion of it into a ceramics happens naturally, but by retaining the basic color, texture and tactility of it, Debasish creates a set of works that are worth contemplating. In a very playful manner the artist brings various social spaces, both the public and domestic spaces into his works.

Sajeev Visweswaran intensely looks at and into his domestic and personal space. The more one sees the works of this young artist, the more a viewer gets this feeling about the artist that he never gets satisfied in observing the mundane aspects of his personal life. Sajeev appears before the viewer as a chronicler of small things; the small things in one’s family life back in his rural abode where people live without much concerns on art, philosophy or aesthetics.

These three artists approach life differently and they see different dimensions in the life seen around them. The definitions that they give to life are different therefore unique to them. However, even in this diversity, even in these differences they find camaraderie in their aesthetical approach. They are the capturers of small incidents, the micro incidents and the micro worlds. Through these representations of micro worlds in their works, they create a macro world, which is beautifully critical and critically beautiful.
