Event Description : "Resonance" a solo show by Dimpy Menon.
Resonance, meaning reverberation or echo actually talks about things that are present continuous. Dimpy's bronzes exemplify not just dancers or acrobats, but movement and dynamism at its best. There is a unity which integrates dance, dramatic action and artistic rendition. Her works easily become a part of any landscape or sometimes crafts a theatrical drama in the space it is kept. Her works are allegorically replicating the theme like a long, philosophical poem. Through simplicity and true life staging, these bronzes will combine the most contemporary techniques with deep perception into psychological imagery.
There is a meditative quality to Dimpy Menon's works arising out of a stillness that characterizes prayer, like the stillness at the eye of a storm. Although it is the human body that tells the story, the subtext of such poetry in motion is this stillness. "(The bronzes) are charged with energy," wrote a critic recently, "Their dynamism stems from the force of a body language uninhibited by facial cues." Dimpy introduces us to the potential in her figures that is at once tense and relaxed. It is the moment that is both the high point of motion and the beginning of stillness. Or vice versa. This balance is at the heart of her sculptures.
About the artist
Dimpy Menon a graduate from the College of Art Chennai in first class has continued to work as a sculptor refining her form and technique through consistent practice since then. Metal seems to turn into lithe material as she moulds it to give form to her kinetic compositions that celebrate life. Handling the entire laborious process of sculpting from a drawing to clay to bronze, Dimpy works in both small and large than life scale, and some of her work adorns public spaces in Chennai and at the Trident Bandra-Kurla in Mumbai. With solo exhibitions in Chennai, Bangalore, Delhi, Mumbai and other metros, she has already had over 50 shows, throughout the country and abroad including at Dubai and London from where her work has been picked up for important public, corporate and private collections including those of Biocon, Standard Chartered Bank, Park Hotels, General Electric, The Oberoi, TVS and Leela Galleria. Winner twice of the State Lalit Kala award, the artist is currently working on some commissions including one for The Banyan, Bangalore. She lives and works in Bangalore.
