In the heart of South Mumbai, nestled amidst the vibrant cultural diversity of Kala Ghoda, art enthusiasts are treated to a visual extravaganza courtesy of Venus Sanghvi’s latest exhibition, aptly titled “Resonanace”. Showcasing at the esteemed Jehangir Art Gallery, this exhibition marks a significant milestone in Sanghvi’s artistic journey, inviting viewers to delve deeper into the realm of creativity and perception.
Running from the 10th to the 16th of June 2024, “Resonance” serves as a testament to Sanghvi’s unparalleled artistic prowess and her unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of conventional artistry. Stepping into the gallery space, visitors are immediately enveloped in an atmosphere of intrigue and wonder, as Sanghvi’s evocative creations beckon them to embark on a transformative journey of self-discovery and introspection.
Venus Sanghvi says “Her artworks are a visual symphony that reflects her experiences through layers of orchestral abstraction”. Her artistic creations express the semantic of congruity, hidden or revealed, in the esoteric layers to form cadenced patterns and designs. Her artworks are poems with an abstraction of colours, shapes, scripts, aesthetic text and words. She builds up her artwork, in layers, whether working with oil, acrylic, mixed media or encaustics. She starts by mark making be it canvas or paper or wood and slowly builds up layers with different tools and techniques. As she applies subsequent layers, she is reminded of the delicate balance between seizing opportunities and the fleeting nature of time. Just as the open time of any medium is fleeting, so too are the moments in life when action must be taken before it’s too late.
The materials used play a crucial part and further enhance the visual experiences. Her artworks illustrate the diversity of life on Earth as well as the substance of the land's surface, or soil. Her use of Aum scripts in a number of languages in her paintings is also indicative of her interpersonal interactions. The series, Resonance, reflects her love for scripts, texts, engravings, carvings of historical monuments (which she has visited) creating an expression of her life experiences A narrative is created by fusing the scripts with the intricate artistry, allowing the audience to engage and form relationships. to the paintings. relationships. Each of her paintings evoke a sensation, an idea, an emotion ………salient to the individual creating a bond between Artist, Viewer and the Painting.
