Question Of Artist by Kanchan Bagari

Question of An Artist

The whole world says that the Goddess of Art is worshiped in India. As a result, works of Art as well as the Artist creating them are also appreciated here.

People all over the world come here to see the different expression of Art from time immemorial, but has the relevance of Art and culture been lost in India now?

It is said that Rajasthan has Art in its existence which is expressed historically though its myriad monuments, sculptures and paintings. But now its seems that the unparalleled and unique art and sculptures of Rajasthan has lost its relevance and sacredness.

Sculpture which are hundreds of years old are being ‘Stolen’ and are allowed to ‘decay’ due to lack of care. If the Artistic heritage of Rajasthan is being destroyed in such a way by theft and carelessness, won’t such a rich tradition become extinct?

"Kala Ki Pukar"-Call of Art

22 May to 28 May 2010

New Delhi

“Kala Ki Pukar”- The Call Of The Art

Theme:

An Art of Customs and Inspiration:

This exhibition of paintings named as “Kala Ki Pukar”, all the statues of Rajasthan have been painted on the canvas through the oil colours. A strange and unique concourse of Art has been exhibited.

Through these paintings homage has been given to all those unknown Indian Artists who have left this great unique legacy for us. No written record is available as to who created these marvelous statues and nobody knows about them.

These statutes are our precious legacy, which should carefully be preserved.

Along with this “Paintings Exhibition” and through it, I (Artist Kanchan Bagari) have also conved the message to every common people- “The Art Of Living”. I have somewhere given the expression of the song of life among these painted status and somewhere tried to lay bare the mysteries of life. In many of my paintings, the statues have been shown in their demolished form. The cause of this is that there occur many happenings in our life which kill our desire for living. Under such moments of frustration, instead of crumbling down, we should learn the art of living. The way, a statue looks beautiful inspite of demolition, in the same way there lie many colours hidden in our life. As T.S.Eliot say’s-“Life is lost in living.” But these paintings teach us “the art of happy living.”

About those unknown Artists I can only say-

“Full many of gem of purest say serene,

The dark unfathomed cover of ocean bear,

Full many a flower is born unseen,

To waste its sweetness to the desert air.”

Hello!

My name is Kanchan Bagari, I am an Artist.

Since last 7years I am doing practice in Art. I am from a small town. Since childhood I have been visiting the Chittorgarh Fort in my state. It is the fevourite holiday destination of my tourists. I am particularly attracted by the exquisite sculptures. Though the artisans have done brilliant work, they are unknown figures. I am concerned about the insensitive attitude of some visitors who have mutilated the sculptures in the temples. The sculptures inspire people to live life positively. Though some of the sculptures have been mutilated, they still appeal to the discerning art lovers.

For five years I have been so absorbed in trying to bring alive the sculptures on canvas. For that I had completely isolated myself from my neighbours and friends. What started as a hobby became a full-fledged passion after I graduated from Bikaner University in 2004.

To create public awareness about the need to preserve the country's dilapidated monuments, I am going to exhibite my Paintings at the All India Fine Arts & Crafts Society gallery in New Delhi on 22 May to 28 May 2010.

Through my solo exhibition , "Kala Ki Pukar"-part 1, I wants to pay tribute to the unremembered and unsung Indian Artists who built the magnificent temples and sculptures in India.

I appeal to each and every human being, who have any respect for Indian Artists, please come in my solo paintings exhibition- "Kala Ki Pukar"-part 1 at All India Fine Art & Crafts Society in New Delhi on 22 May.

Good Day

Fighting our battles with confusion each day,

Routines are established to keep befuddlement at bay.

We watch for stress and avoid mental fatigue,

harmonious striving to make mind and body agree.

We can still make decisions and want to interact

With those called normal; but it's a balancing act.

Simple is much better and less is okay -

Our motto is only one to have A Very Good Day.

Mother's Day

Mother's Day

Mother's Day

M - For the MILLION things she gave me,

O - For she’s growing OLD,

T - For the TEARS she shed to save me,

H - For her HEART of purest gold,

E - For her EYES, with love-light shining,

R - For she is always RIGHT and always be.

Make for me a place within your heart

On which I can depend. For only you

Touch the ancient wellsprings of my tears,

Home through all the wanderings of my years,

Eden that no other can renew,

Root I cannot rend through rage or art.

I luv u mom

having u makes me feel safe & calm

I miss u mom

Missing touches 2 my face with ur chapped palm

u r the greatest

because u r my mom

THINK ABOUT IT

"Each moment in a day,has its own value,

Morning brings hope,

Afternoon bring faith,

evening brings luv,

Night bring rest,

Wish You find them all today n forever"
