I bring the abstract and reality elements into my art. “We are related to nature but nature is subjected to a lot of exploitation by humans. Meanwhile, Mohana Subrahmani’s art talks about the changes happening in the real world, politics and motherhood. Nature looms large in the exhibition and so does the degradation of nature by humans. There should not be any mystery,” he adds. “I intend to make my art conveyable to the people. The issues of farmers and the exploitation of nature are also depicted in his works. So I tried to bring in that element of coexistence,” says Shameer. “We depend on nature and nature in turn protects us. The pandemic is also reflected in the paintings. Shameer Haripad who has exhibited three of his works in acrylic medium says that his work encapsulates the relationship between human beings and nature. The paintings, though created by many artists, talk about human beings and their connection with nature. The works of artists G Unnikrishnan, Bhadran Karthika, Antoney Mukhathala, Chithra, Paranavam Sreekumar, Mohana Subrahmani and Shameer Haripad have been featured at the exhibition. The exhibition that features seven artists from the state offers a stark reminder of the times and transports one into a land of colours, poetic beauty and annihilation.
This is what ‘Depiction of the Inmost Soul’, the ongoing exhibition at the Kerala Lalithakala Akademi Art Gallery in the city is all about.
A rare mix of real and abstract, a vibrance of colours and lack of it, of hope and devastation.
