An ongoing exhibition titled Blue — Beyond Dimensions aims to pay tribute to the Chennai victims with artworks from various artists
In a bid to pay tribute to Chennai victims, Gallery Sree arts and Jitendra Padam Jain are presenting an art exhibition of paintings, sculptures, installations and drawings which will be on display till January 15 at Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre.
Titled Blue — beyond dimensions, Jain asked artists to paint majorly with blue colour which is also the theme of the exhibition. For the artists, blue is the colour of the sky and sea. It is often associated with depth and stability. It symbolises trust, loyalty, wisdom, confidence, intelligence, faith, truth, and heaven. Because of the obvious diversity in its population, India is home to myriad interpretations and representations of symbols and colors. Colors represent different emotions to people living in different regional, geographical, and religious divides. And perhaps certain colours that have a special place in a particular area may not necessarily enjoy a similar status elsewhere. And this is the reason why different artists have created their own medium and styles for the exhibition.
As Kanchan Chander has shown her trademark style torso, whereas Ghazanfar Zaidi has captured beautiful moments of wildlife.
Prem Singh on the other hand has showed his different style while Sangeeta Gupta has painted lines of light. Sanjay Das has also clicked beautiful shots and Ritu Kamath has done very interesting intricate work.
The gallery is also launching a calendar for 2016, based on Indian contemporary artists like SH Raza, MF Husian, Manish Pushkale, Kanchan Chander, Arpana Caur, Kavita Nayar, Sunil Das et al.
