Event Description : "Affair with Climate" a fifteen-day long group show by five talented artists.
Art Life Gallery, in an attempt to connect art and the impending danger of climate change, is kick-starting a group art show today by five talented artists. The fortnight-long show, called, “An affair with Climate”, is based on the theme of ultimate intersection between the natural and built environment will be on till July 14. It focuses on the outcome and the damage that has been incurred to our surroundings and its threat to our existence. The participating artists are Nishi Nitya, Umesh Prasad, Anupama Kumari, Dr Chitra Singh and Babu Saha.
“As the balanced and familiar atmosphere of the 19th and 20th century is changing into a warming and unpredictable one, we find ourselves unintentionally in control of the planet’s thermostat due to heavy usage of fossil fuels,” says Pratibha Agarwal, co-promoter of the gallery, who has also curated the show.
“The artist’s task is to raise awareness of the past and unfolding the present, whilst living in an ethical relationship with nature and treading as lightly as possible on the land,” says Nishi Nitya, explaining her painting which shows various hues of blue depicting various moods of the sea and the danger that is lurking around the coastal areas due to rising sea-level.
Dr Chitra Singh, who also writes poetry explains her painting which has various shades of red and yellow, “Climate change has implications for wildlife and flora, as well as for us. We are facing challenges and we need to raise awareness of a particularly 21st century sort of tension and anxiety,” says Dr Singh.
“I’m eager to show the issue of climate change in an artistic fashion and have incorporated inputs from science into my pieces of art in a way that’s useful to the public,” says Umesh Prasad explaining his series of works called Prithvi. Prithvi depicts Earth in various colours and positions around the Sun in a subtly abstract fashion.
Of course, we have to live “lean, green, and clean,” says Anupama Kumari who has drawn the cityscape and the urban jungle of high-rise buildings made of steel and mortar in ink, showing the grim condition of urban buildings.
According to Agarwal, “Our ultimate goal for this show is to be seen by those who, due to either apathy or acceptance of a skeptical view, are aloof from efforts to adapt to climate change.”
As the great writer Henry David Thoreau truly said, “Shall I not have intelligence with the earth? Am I not partly leaves and vegetable mould myself?”.
