Art Alive is delighted to bring to you, Frameworks featuring works by young and mid-career artists – Apurva Desai, Anil Thambai, Chetan Mevada and Vipul Rathod.

The works feature different aspects of architectonics of establishments and objects that constitute the framework of construction and mind spaces.

Apurva Desai explores the framework of mind spaces through his distinct imagery composed of jagged lines and doodled figures. He captures the myriad expressions that inform the consciousness of a human mind. This collection explores his renditions of dry pastel over layered linings of silver and white paper that are metaphorical representations of the layered nature of human subconscious.

Anil Thambai turns his subtle evocations of built form, developed in graphite on hemp paper, into a shimmering architecture of vision. His works are an investigation into the idea of what constitutes the idea of architecture in history. For him, architecture is more about the process of how something is built and not just the end resultant thus exploring the frameworks that lie beneath the baronial structures.

Chetan’s work is focused on the ostentatious flourishing of architecture in the name of urbanization. The subject matter of his paintings mainly emerges from surrounding conflicting ideas portrayed through a combination of cutting, lifting, pasting to create the contradiction of plane and surface. He creates multiple layers exploring multiple time frames.

Vipul’s visual aesthetic presents a series of miniaturized objects that are arranged as collectibles on shelves. These wide range of objects, some of them like functional chairs are reduced to tiny scales to strip away their functionality and turn them into aesthetic objects so that viewers can contemplate about them. Vipul rearranges the familiar objects in a different scale and convinces us to think beyond notions of pragmatic use of objects.
