An Solo Exhibition of paintings by Suruchi Jamkar | Jehangir art gallery Mumbai | Art Exhibition
.....
About the exhibition:
Suruchi Jamkars 31st solo exhibition showcases 50 paintings in Oil and acrylics on canvas. They depict the reaction of an imaginative mind to several visually and spiritually stimulating places and experiences.
Inspiration:
These myriad impressions and artistic meditations are experienced through her travels. Every journey is an exploration - be it travelling to a remote pottery village, a nearby spiritual place or an inward journey towards your childhood memories. Now is the time to lie back, explore and enjoy, says Suruchi. It is this creativity inspired by her memories and musings that has found expression on her canvases. Sculptures of Hampi, deserts of Rajasthan and the starlit skies are predominant backdrops of her works. What charms the viewer the most are the girls in turbans.
Technique:
The use of earthen monochromatic colours fusing with the vibrant bright ones and her unique style which is very narrative and appealing conveys her story most eloquently. Dry brushing interspersed with thick knife application of oil paints gives a convincing depth to her works.
Subject of paintings :
Suruchi and her iconic women wearing turbans, are a visual treat. They come across as strong yet beautiful, contemplative yet ethereal. At times they are relaxing amidst nature, using rocks to recline on. Under the starlit skies one experiences the eternity and tranquility of life.
Suruchi s paintings create the feeling of languorous comfort and easy pace, away from the rush of the rat race outside. We invite you to come and be a part of her rich and peaceful world.
About the artist :
Born on 22 March 1980, Suruchi is a young and established artist who studied at the prestigious JJ School of art, Mumbai and Nagpur University. Having sold more than 1000 paintings, she has put up solo and group shows at many galleries across India namely Visual Art Gallery, New Delhi, the Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai India International Centre, Delhi, India Habitat Centre, Delhi , Nehru Centre, Mumbai and has gained recognition for her work in the form of critical appreciation and awards like Nehru cultural Award, Dolly Kersetjee Award.
Suruchi currently lives in Hyderabad and has travelled extensively through Rajasthan, Karnataka, Laddakh, Southeast Asia, Europe and all across India. She has worked in diverse mediums like tempera, Fresco, water colours, pastels, silk and brocade, stone ware ceramics, metal welding. Her versatility is seen in the way she blends a mundane medium to speak expressively on a subject. She has also done workshops at Bharat Bhavan Bhopal in ceramic stoneware; in Banasthali she learnt the age old technique of fresco and tempera. Suruchi travelled all over Europe studying the art of the masters and their masterpieces of which she found the art in the Vatican the most imposing and larger than life.
Concept :
The mind is the most amazing thing in this worldor that is what we love to think. The mind is very impressionable.everything the body and its senses come across makes some impression or the other. But some impressions last for years together.resurfacing with the same intensity that was felt the first time.
Suruchi has painted such impressions, sometimes they originate from her childhood days where she and children of the neighborhood had an obsession playing variations of marbles all day long. Some images are of a month-long escape to a small farmhouse in the middle of the jungles of south Goa, where the mind dumped the mundane and thought of things beyond, in a relaxed put your feet up kind of way. Thus the images of girls wearing turbans (the turban acting as a metaphor for a thinking cap) surfaced.
There are influences of her 5 years stay in Rajasthan, the starlit dessert skies and turbans, the stone sculptures of Hampi and Somnathpura. The show is an amalgamation of the imagery of the mind as it soaks the places and responds to the experiences they evoke.
Suruchi calls the show of Eternity and Tranquility because of the Hues used.mainly earthen tones dominated by browns greys and at times green. She selected these colours because of the urge to feel human existence and to feel at peace with the soul. The subjects are mainly girls because the female is the janani the certified creator on earth and being a woman she relates well with the feminine. The girls tell the story told them (while creating) eloquently to the viewers.
Suruchi is a slave of imagination and creativity, where many a times painting becomes an urge.which gives peace only after the artist translates the image from the mind onto her canvas.
