Art can never be enough. No one ever said, “too much art!”. Over the years, art has undergone many changes. But, it has always remained a medium for humankind to express themselves. We have here a handful of contemporary artists who are attempting to redefine art. Take a look at these talented artists and what makes their art stand apart.
Bandana Jain
Bandana Jain works with a medium that is out of the ordinary – corrugated cardboard. She designs luxury sustainable products that would leave you awestruck. You would never imagine that cardboard could be molded into a sculptural desk, a bust of Mahatma Gandhi or an idol of Lord Ganesha. She inspires us with her art as well as her commitment to the environment. Her ecologically conscious, sustainable creations are not just a thing of beauty for the eye, but also the planet!
Vaishali Oak
Vaishali Oak’s interest in collaging led her from paper to fabric. Fabric Assemblage is Vaishali Oak’s forte. Inspired by the local quilt-making tradition, she chose textiles as her medium of expression. The colour palette and texture offered by fabric is what led her to create such sophisticated artwork. The colour choices in her abstract textile art are both mellow and dynamic at the same time.
Puja Mondal
Puja Mondal’s miniature paintings are so full of life. Her works express her “nostalgia for the absent and a silent grief for the memories of the lost”. She tries to capture the changing spaces around her through her works. Her miniature paintings on wasli would make you wonder whether it is a painting or a photograph, at least for a second.
Jaydev Chosala
Jaydev Chosala uses his paintings to make a statement. His artworks become his platform to react to his social surroundings and the atrocities in them. A central image in many of his paintings is the cow. Through his intricate paintings, he depicts how urbanization is slowly killing humanity.
Parag Sonarghare
Parag Sonarghare tries to capture the soul of his subjects through his paintings. Though his paintings seem very realistic, he tries to find “abstraction” in them. His approach is an inspiration to anyone who wishes to diverge from the current trends.
