The ebb and flow of rasa

It was art in full flow as Suruchi Art Gallery in New Delhi inaugurated an enlivening exhibition titled Transforming Rasa: Ideation And Expression early this week. The exhibition, inaugurated by Rajeev Lochan, Director, National Gallery of Modern Art, brings together a vibrant collection of acrylic and mixed media works by some of the well-known young artists from across the country.

“It is heartening to see beautiful works of the artists who were my students a few years back. They have successfully brought out their personality through their creative endeavours,” said Lochan addressing the crowd at the event. In total, there are 22 works by artists like Mahendra Singh Baoni, Manoj Kar Choudhary, Arunima Sanyal, Raju Bose, Soughata Guha and Deepak Tiwari among others. Speaking on the occasion, Suruchi Gupta, Director, Suruchi Art Gallery, said, “The exhibition is an enthralling amalgamation of some of the most distinguished works in the art fraternity. It’s a privilege to feature these artists who form an integral part of the colourful art world.”

“Rasa signifies talent, so the exhibition is named after these talented artists,” she added.

Talking about young artists easily getting a platform to display their creations, artist Manoj Kar Choudhary said, “The opportunities available to the upcoming generation are growing profusely in number. The art scenario has changed drastically in the last 10 years but it is important to see if they use them in a proper way. Consistency is required to survive in the industry in the long run.” Expressing her views on the subject, Suruchi said, “Today, there is a rat race among young artists to create a name for themselves from the very start of their career, but the day is not too far when this bubble will burst and only serious talent will remain.”

Lochan believed it’s the quality of work which counts and not the age factor. “If a person is genuinely talented he deserves to get the limelight no matter how old he is,” he said.

The exhibition ends on September 27.
