Collective Reverberation In his first exhibition of
2005, young artist Manish Lal Shrestha has come up with a collection of his old creations By THAKUR AMGAI Artist Shrestha, who is known for his
artworks that activate the positive energy inherent in each individual, has once again
used his creations - old and new, to catalyze our awareness and urge for peace. The
painting exhibition that begun in Gallery Nine on January 12, has three new paintings
along with the selected paintings and art works of the previous exhibitions. Shrestha's art journey, that begun with
"Situation"-his first solo art exhibition held in Times Bank Hall in Mumbai in
2000, has gone through seven solo-art exhibition including the latest and ongoing
"Collective Reverberation". Over these four years, the Shrestha's creations have
traversed from a capture of the immediate and surrounding situation to the deep call for
the awakening of ailing fellow citizens for the peace of mind. In his creations, Shrestha uses jar bells
extensively as a sign of alerting at times of crisis. Like any other artists he is most
touched by the current situation of the country and therefore the theme of his creations
pivot around the peace and awakening. Use of dots is another thing that a viewer notices
to have been used extensively. His explanation, "Dots are a symbol of eternity. It
can be the tiniest possible and also expand to the huge size of the universe. As it moves
round and round it had no ending. That is why I have used it as a symbol of
eternity." Experimental by nature, Shrestha, uses the
liberty of art to try various forms of creations. Through what is seen as a sewn together
rag from thrown away pieces of garment, Shrestha celebrates life. |
