Singh describes the importance of arts in our daily life after lightning the
lamp to inaugurate the exhibition. As he mentioned the nature or Prakriti as Goddess Mother.
Veteran Kathak danseuse
Padmabhivashan Dr. Uma Sharma said, “Vinod Sharms’s paintings are mind blowing,
I am not even getting enough words to describe the beauty of his work. In my
school days and even in college days beside practicing the Kathak dance, which
is my life and for that people know me, I also use to paint a lot. I love
paintings. And I know the difficulties of this art form. That’s why I am spellbound
to see the details work of his paintings, where he describes through his master
strokes, the little minute details of fogs, mists, the surface of stonesâ€.
Dr. Uma Sharma , also
pointed out particularly of her favourite paintings and also describes why she
has liked those three masterpieces.
Noted artist and
curator of the exhibition, Manish Pushkale said, “After having a close look on
his paintings, let me start with this quick question - what he paints? One can
answer this with great ease that he is a fine landscapist or he is a painter of
the polite interpretations of Landscape. When we have Painters like Ramkumar or
Ganesh Haloi - whose work revolves around their earned melodies of landscapes
whereas on the other hand painters like Paramjeet Singh or Surya Prakash, whose
work reflects various existential and realizable moods of the surrounding
nature. Herewith such references, let me return and ratify my existing quarry
i.e. where Vinod Sharma exists? And his paintings are about rationalist's
melody or a realist's memory? This is a tangible truth that his paintings
assess our memory, ravishes our senses, exaggerate our attention and forces us
to recollect if they really exists on this Planet? After all, in the eyes of a
viewer, the realm of his landscape not only produces the path but also ravel
the explicit possibilities of our reach in itâ€.
“Through his paintings, he mystifies the territory by adding the perplexities
to its beauty and confines our memory; he not only dislocate us from the edge
of our own confirmations but also relocates us in its accumulated shifting
paradigms. It may crush our confidence and destroy our sense of experiences as
this land actually does not exist anywhere. It is interesting to be lost in his
labyrinths of no man's land - with the connotations of a land of no man, and a
man of no land. The terrain which is not at all surrounded by any kind of man
made encroachments. Is it a site which is either waiting for the civilization
yet to emerge on its sphere or it is a purview where only the aftermath silence
exists as an epilogue of its lost civilization? Whatever the answer is... all
depends on how one see them...†signed off Pushkale.
On asking about the
secret of the minute details he creates on the canvas, the veteran artist Vinod
Sharma, laughingly said, “you know I just throw colours and it takes shapes…â€
then finally he described that, “each and every frames takes more than a month
to complete and there is indeed lots of hard work.â€
“I love nature, and
here you see all the paintings are depicting the beauty of the nature, and if
you see, I did not put captions to the paintings, I have called the show –
Mindscape. As it is up to the viewers, let them think about the work by
themselves, let them have their own interpretations about the nature through these paintings,â€
said the master creator Vinod Sharma.
Chandra Shekhar Jhamb of the Creativity Art Gallery, said, “I am honoured as the
veteran artist Vinod Sharma has been kindly agreed upon to exhibiting his
masterpieces with us. As we see the artist seems extremely happy after
showcasing his work, after twelve years gap in Delhi. And this time his style
of work is very different, as he has used lot of colours this time. All the artists
present here, mostly of his very close friends and colleagues, I am happy that
they all are enjoying and appreciating the hard work.â€
