The Metal Canvas Stone: Triveni of Art

Art exhibition is a confluence of distinct artistic expressions and mediums, offering a unique experience for art enthusiasts in Mumbai. Showcased at the Jahangir Art Gallery, this exhibition features the works of four renowned artists: Asurvedh, Vijaya Ved, Manisha Sanchihar, and Hemant Joshi. Their collective efforts revolve around invoking empathy and exploring both the physical and mental conditions of human existence through art. While Manisha’s abstract work leans heavily on symbolism, the other three artists present figurative forms, creating a direct and immediate connection with viewers.

This show was inaugurated on 24th September 2024 by Chief Guest Sanjay Puri, Sanjay Puri Architects Principal Architect Mumbai in the presence of Rupesh & Archana Baid Principal Interior Architect & Design Co. Mumbai, Rajendra Patil President, The Bombay Art Society, Prof. Dr. Milind Dhobley Dean Faculty of Fine Arts MOT ADT Uni. Pune, Maharashtra

Asurvedh’s art captures the overlooked moments of everyday life, particularly focusing on the marginalized individuals who are often unseen in the bustle of urban life, such as children selling balloons at traffic signals. Through his sculptures, Asurvedh freezes these fleeting moments of human dynamism, urging viewers to take notice of the lives that often go unnoticed. His art transforms the mundane into something profound, turning these everyday scenes into still, yet expressive, sculptural forms that encourage reflection on the world we ignore.

Vijaya Ved’s artwork embarks on a journey of self-illumination, where she delves into both the tangible and intangible aspects of human existence. Her art resonates with themes of self-awareness, spirituality, and the human connection to the infinite. By portraying the emotional and spiritual relationships in life, she transcends the physical limitations of the body, aiming to illuminate the boundless nature of the soul. Her evolution as an artist reflects a shift from depicting life’s emotional ties to a deeper immersion into self-exploration through nature, revealing a universal quest for inner enlightenment.

Manisha Sanchihar presents an abstract exploration of the inner self, challenging traditional boundaries and highlighting the intricate relationship between attachment and detachment. Through her abstract expressionism, she portrays the boundlessness of the mind and emotions. Manisha’s work suggests a deeper connection with self-expression, illustrating how abstraction can still carry powerful, introspective emotions. Her art invites viewers into a space where distinctions between being and non-being dissolve, offering a moment of introspection and encouraging self-discovery.

Hemant Joshi’s sculptures emphasize the inner essence of forms rather than their outer appearances. Working predominantly in abstract stone sculptures, he seeks to uncover the deeper, hidden realities of objects and beings. His use of different stones to create harmonious compositions reflects a transformative process—one that imbues lifeless materials with a sense of boundless interpretation and beauty. Through this abstraction, Hemant’s sculptures reveal new dimensions and meanings, evoking endless possibilities for viewers to explore.

Overall, the exhibition presents a compelling narrative of human existence, self-awareness, and the interplay between the visible and the unseen. Through a diverse range of mediums—sculpture, painting, and abstract forms—these artists provide a profound commentary on the human condition, inviting empathy and introspection in their audiences.
