Merging Metamorphosis
December 6, 2021 @ 11:00 am - January 9, 2022 @ 7:00 pm IST
This show brings together two powerful artists and independent mediums, exploring their common experience of the creation of art. Both intrinsically interact with the pieces they make: molding, nourishing, creating, destroying and then ultimately reviving. The works are alive, incarnations of the artist but also the genesis of the artist’s becoming!
In his current series, Inamdar allows his canvas to participate in its own creation, allowing it to slowly and whimsically absorb the color and chart its own path. The lines drawn merge into the oil and create unique shapes, pulling in the viewer to explore their mystery. Surpassing time and space, the works challenge with their dichotomy: soft and loud, minimal and maximal, monotone and colorful, all in the same moment. In his words, ‘the artist becomes the instrument, the work becomes music”.
Davis embraces a similar dichotomy in his sculptural creations. Sharp stainless steel evolves to become a delicate fluid design and enormity in scale is balanced by sensitivity to the intricacies of his inspiration. Nature is the muse for this series as he brings to life architectural plants like blossoms, orchids, creepers and bamboo groves in a truly Contemporary way! Davis’s art pushes the viewer to see these seemingly finite natural elements in a more solid, permanent and statement form. He describes this endeavor, ‘I am essentially a maker and my engineering and design educations allow me to push the limits of materials and technologies for a desired effect’.
