Collectors Weekend | Edition 4

Art Alive Gallery brings to you the fourth edition of Collectors Weekend with a special focus on sculptures by Krishen Khanna, Sakti Burman, Laxma Goud and Paresh Maity.

Veteran artist Krishen Khanna, who draws inspiration from personal experiences in his artworks, brings to us bronze sculptures from his Bandwala series. Carefully crafted in bronze, these sculptures accurately capture the zestful energy of the band of musicians.

While Sakti Burman has developed his unique style over the years where he employs the power of his brush to create a fantasy world of his own stemming from mythology, history and poetic fervor on his canvas, he has experimented with various mediums, often merging them as well. Burman’s sculptures can be defined as three dimensional renditions of his paintings. Having the same lyrical quality as his artworks, the master artist explores his creativity through sculptures.

Laxma Goud’s artworks are inspired by the rural settings of his childhood where he explores the landscapes as if they were frozen in time. Goud’s style is erotic and mystical in nature which is also reflective of the traditional Indian cultural ethos. The simplicity and rawness of the artist’s bronze sculptures gives us a glimpse into his practice.

Versatile artist Paresh Maity has also worked with a variety of mediums that form his larger body of work. Just like his paintings that are characterized by rich colours and textures, his sculptures also follow suit. Maity’s sculptures are characterized by a dynamic quality; the sculptures take shape as they bring to life bold characters with powerful gazes.
