Titled Magnetism, Vijay Sharmas exhibition of paintings at Studio Art is remarkable simply because it uses objets dart as subjects. Sharma, vividly enamoured with the beauty of antiques once used by royals in Rajasthan, has created a series of images rendered in a stylistic manner with precision and a sense of veracity but which dont appear to be within the realms of absolute reality. Sharmas presentations of simple objects in a monumental scale with meticulous detailing make them appear grand. This magnified depiction of that object suggests the extent of the artists desire and the subjects importance in his life.
Being from Rajasthan – the land of colour, Vijays predilection is evident for bright and snazzy colours. The artists inspiration from miniatures is also apparent in his artworks, particularly in the depiction of the protagonist that is always bigger in size as compared to others to show the character’s importance and the fine rendering of details to adorn his character also makes it quite evident. Sharmas art combines elements from miniature paintings, contemporary objects, personal memory, dreams and fantasies.
Check out Magnetism, at Studio Art, on till 31st August.
