Jhad – In – Khand by Victor Minj

Art Exhibition Visit

By his recent works, Victor Minj wants to share his thoughts with others and suggest some message to the society…..either about his native land or artist’s own autobiography. The artist has depict traditional symbols as Icons of Indian culture in contemporary contexts. In his series of Wood impression he deals with the use and ritual to reflect the issues of deforestation.

Deforestation not only represents here as a metaphor for the sake of subjectivity in pictorial representation, but it incorporates his personal association, life struggle and lust for survival, due to his physical incapabilities.

By Nitesh Patel.

I am invited to visit an art exhibition of Victor Minj. The exhibition named “Jhad – In - Khand”. Basically I am not fine art graduate but as hobby and have interest in art since long.

The exhibition is at Exhibition Hall, Faculty of Fine arts, Baroda, MSU. This place has given birth to very talented artist and I have chance to meet one of them.

As I step in an exhibition hall I read the introduction write up behind an exhibition. Frankly speaking on first impression I don’t found painting interesting. But as I gradually took my steps further, the painting is start impressing me. As I reach to my last step in exhibition hall – means after looking all paintings, I really find it awesome and perfect craftsmanship in painting. Every painting has more than one technique and carved with fine lines with best color combination. Some paintings are like magnet. Just want to say Great work Mr. Victor Minj

2008 Exhibition Visit – Kriti Art Gallery Baroda, India

Kriti Art Gallery

On 3^rd April 2008 there was one more art gallery inauguration in Baroda, Gujarat, India.

We are please to have invitation from that gallery. The name of the gallery is Kriti Art Gallery.

The theme of the exhibition is “the celestial gaze”. In which painting of goddesses are displayed. The paintings are created by Shrimat Maharaja Ranjitsingh Gaekwad.

Ranjitsinh Gaekwad is a versatile artist. Apart from a large body of paintings, using a wide range of mediums, he has created a number of murals and sculptures. In this show at Kriti Art Gallery, launched by Gandevikar Jewellers Pvt. Ltd he has shown paintings of Indian Goddesses such as Mahalaxmi, Saraswati and Tuljabhavani besides a few portraits of ordinary people.

Interestingly, the goddesses have faces which are both iconic and human. In the background are seen rich Indian motifs such as swans, flowers and peacocks. There is a Mahalaxmi with a graceful and nimble figure wearing Maharastrian nose ring.

There is also another Mahalaxmi wearing a sari in the Gujarati syle. Here, the fixed divine gaze is reminiscent of Hindu and Jain idols. The painting of Tuljabhavani is a superbly executed work of art, richly resplendent in vermillion reds and ochre yellow. It is imbed with a remarkably powerful presence. Interestingly, the face is undoubtedly divine and, at the same time, with benevolent expression. Her vahana, the lion, has been treated with a robust playful quality.

The portraits presented in the show are an ample proof of his genius as portrait painter. It is evident from theses portraits that the artist has a remarkable understanding of the man on the street.

I will publish photos as soon as I get it. The environment of the gallery is really awesome. I wish best of luck to gallery for its bright future.
