To Feel
16th October - 21st October 2024
Location
Living Traditions Centre, Bikaner House
Bound around the framework of American psychologist Robert Plutchik's twenty-seven fundamental human emotions, To Feel poignantly represents one or more of them. Through myriad artistic mediums, artists with diverse practices have endeavored to capture the essence of these sentiments, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the raw intensity and captivating beauty of the human emotional experience.
Loneliness, a universal sensation that knows no bounds and spares nobody, resonates through some of the works. From hauntingly empty landscapes to solitary figures lost in thought and contemplation, artists delve into the depths of isolation, inviting viewers to confront the profound ache or peace of solitude.
Conversely, the effervescent hues of happiness radiate from works adorned with jubilant scenes of celebration and contentment. Through their compositions, artists capture the fleeting moments of bliss that punctuate our lives, illuminating the inherent beauty and lust found in both, simple pleasures and superficial materials. Yet, amidst the spectrum of human emotion, despair, and heartbreak cast their shadowy veil, leaving an indelible mark on the human psyche. Through graphic imagery and raw vulnerability, the realist works displayed lay bare the agony of loss and the anguish of shattered dreams, evoking a visceral response from those who bear witness.
Finally, love, the most potent of all human emotions, serves as the beating heart of this exhibition. Through tender techniques and heartfelt expressions, artists in this group exhibition illuminate the transformative power of love, transcending barriers of time and space to forge connections that defy comprehension.
