We work collaboratively on our painting and sculptures. Anushka, MFA with commercial art and Mukesh with M.Phil in sculptures together fused their experience, idea and thought to bring out their artwork on display. We worked on nude, especially on sensuous female body. Taking our personal angles and rendering the nude body's volume and poise. Designs (motifs) in artworks are synonymous to women and femininity. Here we use design as drapery on the unclothed body, giving feeling of covered rather than exposed. Our journey started in 2009 with first solo show. Since then we have been participating in various group shows, camps along with solo show every year. Mukesh is scholarship holder from ministry of culture and his work has also been selected in 51st National Exhibition by Lalit Kala Academy, New Delhi.
Our sculptures and paintings have grown out of our fascination with the female form and her beautiful curves & flowing lines. The human form is one of the most appreciated yet feared forms of art that we as a society have ever encountered. We all claim to love it and want to embrace it yet some stare at the mere sight of the naked form. The nature of people always amazes me. It has been burned into our minds to gasp at the sight of bare skin. For me beauty is first and foremost abstract definition, a concept, difficult to determine. As it has always been governed by history and culture.
However, there is a certain degree of global consensus concerning to the notion of beauty. Not only do I define physical matter, but also abstractions, such as beauty of ideas or the belief of the soul. Beauty is characteristic of a person that provides a perceptual experience of pleasure, meaning or satisfaction. An "ideal beauty" is an entity which is admired, or possesses features widely attributed to beauty in a particular culture, for perfection. The experience of "beauty" often involves me in the interpretation of some entity as being in balance and harmony with nature, which leads to the feelings of attraction and emotional well-being.
Women's beauty has always been one of the greatest sources of inspiration for us; we see and feel it in our own way. As for us the main criterion of choosing them was not the fact how beautiful or charming they are. Our intention was to depict different state of mind through different posture of female beauty. Hopefully, you will find there is something new, interesting and inspiring. We mold the form with various ways as Painting and Plastic art. We think artists are born and not made. How much ability they have, and the final presentation or the visual appearance of any work of art depends on the state-of-mind of the artist.
"Art, it's far more than a career, it's an obsession."
