New Delhi, November 26, 2019: To begin with the Christmas fervor, Art Spice gallery in collaboration with Art Magnum brings on display some never seen works by the great Indian Masters and contemporary artists in a group show, ‘Rasas of Indian Art’, which shall be a visual treat for Art enthusiasts and Art connoisseurs.
‘Rasas of Indian Art’ is an initiative to showcase how the Indian aesthetic theory of ‘Rasas’ can be interpreted and analyzed in the works of these Artists. The works chosen are of impeccable quality tracing the journey of Indian Artists both in the pre-independence era and the post-independence era which shall provide a unique insight into how the Indian art scene has evolved.
Rasa, (Sanskrit: “essence,” “taste,” or “flavour,” literally “sap” or “juice”) is an Indian concept of aesthetic flavour, an essential element of any work of visual art that can only be suggested, not described. The theory of ‘Rasas’ has inspired these artists, and can be categorized into different human feelings like, delight, laughter, sorrow, anger, energy, fear, disgust, heroism, and astonishment. All of which may be recast in contemplative form as the various rasas: erotic, comic, pathetic, furious, heroic, terrible, odious, marvellous, and quietist. These rasas comprise the components of aesthetic experience, which shall be on display in each and every artwork in the exhibition.
The exhibition shall display works of S H Raza, M F Husain, Ram Kumar, F N Souza, T Vaikuntam, K G Subramanyan, Ram Kinker Baij, Jamini Roy, Suhas Roy, Arup Das, Jatin Das, Jogen Choudhury, Manu Parekh, Paresh Maity, Neeraj Goswami, Hemen Mazumdar, amongst others.
Come, celebrate the vibrant facets of Indian art at Art Spice gallery!
