<div align="center" style="text-align: center;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;"><br /></span></b></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Out
of the five senses known to man, eye is the most sensitive and evocative organ
for the sense of vision and for the intellect that lay in matter in different
forms and hues, and, one that nature bears to craft man’s imagination beyond
the daily rationale of tasks and findings. To the artist, it’s more the
‘eye’-in the hand that brushes the finer strokes for a perfection which only
the ‘intuitive mind’ knows and authenticates. Truly, Claude Monet, one of the
greatest Impressionist Painter has said that ‘it's on the strength of
observation and reflection that one finds a way. So we must dig and delve
unceasingly’. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">This
inner-digging is a process which when started earlier pay rich dividends in the
form of beauty in great art, transubstantiated by Nicholas Roerich’s great
proclamation “in Beauty we are united,/through Beauty we pray,/with Beauty we
conquer”. It’s this ceaseless expansion of being rooted in beauty as truth which
the artist wants to reflect upon, as he seizes upon nature’s charms, to hold a
breath to draw a line symmetric or anti-symmetric that will define the relative
positioning of his frames as seen from a distance. The key to art is an
understanding of the ways of nature and to magnify the littleness of a larger
existence, from the point of view of consciousness unveiled in matter. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The
artist is dabbing with colours in the form of consciousness- the time is the
sacred moment of inner-delight (self-realisation process) or a Zen-epiphany
where he discovers the objet d’ art of his own creation. In the creative
process of the mind, it’s the practice of classical rasa-Lila in a quantum
metaphysical domain of uniting with matter and spirit (Prakriti & Purusha)
for the final embodiment of the resurrection of beauty in art. The plasticity
of the mind acts as a template to hold the organ of delight, here, the artist’s
eye for the seer-vision within nature’s entanglement with the spirit and its
source. <o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">The
present exhibition is a step to know more about this journey or quest which
these artists undertook to wade in a sea of nature’s colours and to harmonize
existence between the ‘eye and the ‘object’ as revealed through the glass
tapestry of nature’s prisms.<o:p></o:p></span><br />

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Pradip
is a new generation talented young Indian artist whose painting is a sojourn in
nature, dealing with myriad colours, forms, shapes and contours to create a new
fantasy world of magical landscapes with animals and plants, mountains and
lakes. His material colours have their own spiritual sense and are rendered
with poetry that is most sublime and fascinating as the swans in a lake.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Sumana’s
artworks are more the facets of life that has the cinematic exposure of a
‘theatre in art’ albeit with rendering of folklore mixed with pop-art and
epicurean delight. Her, Mother of Sacrifice, is indeed, a source of originality
that one can always sustain to live in beauty and metaphorically through the
real-virtual modes of this panoramic existence. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

Sasanka Ghosh <o:p></o:p></span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">Sasanka’s
true virtuosity lies in melting colours over a template of abstract beauty that
reflects pattern of a cityscape, or a block of polygons cutting horizontally or
vertically dividing the paper into plane geometrical parts with abstract hidden
dimensions. Colours carry the tonality of these abstractions as the mind waits

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 10pt;">His
works are differential not because he thrives on Dokra style artistic sculpture
that are precise and aesthetically appealing as art-deco or as prized
collectibles but they have the touch of rural Bengal with its plethora of
folk-motifs including narratives of Kali, Durga and even the baul/fakir singers
who collect honey in their songs. Each sculpture is an original item that has
roots in the history of a race and in the origin of destiny as well. <o:p></o:p></span><br />

role as change-maker in a modern society by connecting the end-user or the
collector with the art as a medium of consciousness, and, with various
perceivers who sought change in their corporate-management thinking by
establishing their link with the creative mind-assets by binding their skills
with the unlimited quanta of natural intelligence which are photosensitive
belonging to the quantum-mevon world of creational macrospace. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

It came at a critical time when the world was shocked by the triple action forces of Earthquake, Tsunami and a major Nuclear Radiation threat that had rocked Japan a week before, Johannes explained that the music goes to the Mother at three levels: the motherly love one finds at home; the mother earth and thirdly the cosmic mother and the divine force that operates since the beginning of creation. A rounded applause by a full learned festive crowd, so symptomatic of Kolkata, was quickly followed by another of his own compositions, this time ‘Ananda’ to reiterate that the creation came out of the self-delight of the Lord/the Creator, from bliss it came and poured into a pitcher of bliss. To crown the day, his last composition was ‘Rasa-Lila’. Partnered with Biplaw Singh, one of the finest classical guitarists from Asia and the best in India, this was a confluence of the east-west musical genre, the two guitars creating the smooth elastic sound that not only touched the hearts and evoked the senses, at the same time, it was a reveling aesthetic disposition of the musical sublime that permeates the levels of experiential love. <br /><br />Biplaw Singh’s own solo performance was a treat to the ears, and also to the eyes, because the Spanish musical pieces he played from Isaac Albéniz and Francisco Tárrega brought before the audience the images of the sun, the sea, the Mediterranean, and, of course, the lost romanticism that enthralled its pioneers in the 18th and the 19th century. This was something profusely captivating, it brought the virtuosity of the guitarist and went further to recreate the multi-cultural high-print of Kolkata’s lifestyle- the minds of its people and their thought-processes that had served the city to be what it is- the city of joy, then, now, and in the times to come. <br /><br /><br />The opening performances by Johannes and Biplaw were followed by Ahimsa, a four-piece world music ensemble. With Munich- based guitarist Matthias Muller and South Indian musician S. Radhakrishna who played a majestic stereophonic double violin supported ably by percussionists Udai Mazumdar and R. Yogaraja – their music blended the Carnatic music with Western Jazz that prompted a trip into territories of complex beautiful improvisations, the musical texture, if we may call it, was precise and innovative sometimes reminiscent of Shakti with John McLaughlin. In an other way, its an Interstellar Overdrive, a travel into realms of spacious consciousness where music is fluid and ever recreated by the illumined mind of its players. Their whole endeavour was refreshing, another hallmark of great musical expressions, here, the fascinating merged into brilliant musical overtures which the mind can only seize through its contemplative ears and meditative hearing. Of course, it was sheer entertainment, and as Littlei, the organization that produced the show confirmed, that it was just the beginning and not the last of surprises that await kolkata’s ardent music lovers. <br /><br />The programme sponsored by the Siddha Group was hosted by Calcutta Classical Guitar Society and partnered by The Calcutta School of Music and RED FM 93.5 took place o 19th March, 2011 at 27, Ballygunge Park, Kolkata. <br /><br /><br />- Joy Roy Choudhury, ArtVantage, UK-India, http://art-vantage.co.uk/<br />ArtVantage Projects: ART & MUSIC: Change Returns Success, Pink Floyd, Syd Barrett & Art: http://www.thepiperatthegatesofdawn.co.uk/<br />Charles Baudelaire & Debussy & Art: <br />http://www.charlesbaudelaire.co.uk/<br /><br /><br /><br />Useful Information:<br />Programme presented by Siddha Group: http://www.siddhagroup.com/<br />Produced by Littlei : http://littlei.in/<br />Hosted by Calcutta Classical Guitar Society: http://www.ccgs.in/<br />Event Partners: The Calcutta School of Music: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcutta_School_of_Music<br /> <br />Radio Partner: RED FM 93.5: http://radiotime.com/station/s_68909/Red_FM_935.aspx<br /><br />Johannes Möller Website: http://www.johannesmoller.com/<br />Ahimsa Website: http://ahimsamusic.com/<br /><br />ArtVantage Website:ArtVantagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15159747791674669815noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3861363773806854991.post-86253198777995994072010-12-25T18:47:00.000-08:002010-12-25T18:58:13.450-08:00Artwork on Blind Willie Mctell, Samij Datta (25th Dec,2010)<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZSB9uzlwKFFVGkacgGLVAWOlhsHBBHrvsRwf3CXdnlaPjpBqcXCadjgs_j9Shyphenhyphen7784UsJkeIcMI2IAEkWPRU41DlYgt3AKcPgSs3JfXr1jbu2G1-jFdEPLLn43oJfpfUPM2Kk4mnWxkc/s1600/Blind+Willie+Mctell.jpg"><img style="float:left; margin:0 10px 10px 0;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 268px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgZSB9uzlwKFFVGkacgGLVAWOlhsHBBHrvsRwf3CXdnlaPjpBqcXCadjgs_j9Shyphenhyphen7784UsJkeIcMI2IAEkWPRU41DlYgt3AKcPgSs3JfXr1jbu2G1-jFdEPLLn43oJfpfUPM2Kk4mnWxkc/s320/Blind+Willie+Mctell.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5554817738685854562" /></a><br /><br />With Inspiration from Bob Dylan's Song Blind Willie Mctell<br />"...And I know no one can sing the blues like Blind Willie Mctell"- Bob Dylan<br /><br />Title: Blind Harmonist of the Unforeseen Future<br />Artwork: Acrylic on board paper/ Year: 2010<br />Artist: Samij Datta/ArtVantagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15159747791674669815noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3861363773806854991.post-41433957098454071712010-12-15T03:06:00.000-08:002010-12-15T04:58:18.855-08:00Folk Series:Hari-Purusha (The Golden Body of the Lord)/Artist: Samij Datta<span style="font-style:italic;">"The yoga we practice is not for ourselves alone, but for the Divine; its aim is to work out the will of the Divine in the world, to effect a spiritual transformation and to bring down a divine nature and a divine life into the mental, vital and physical nature and life of humanity.
