Event Description : "Nouveau" an exhibition of Mixed media artwork on canvas, metal, wood and allied media by artist Simran KS Lamba

Simran KS Lamba’s current body of work titled “Nouveau” entails a collection of mixed media artwork on canvas, metal, wood and allied media. The mainstay medium used to create the artwork­- coal tar, as opposed to its innate organic dense format, has been given form, shape, structure and dimension on canvas, metal, wood and allied bases, using a variety of ingenious methods therein. Sketches in tar resin, tar shaping into forms, figures and spaces and tar creating a multitude of surfaces and 3-D compositions, through numerous distinct layers of treatment, create a story, abstract or otherwise, in each canvas of art. Molten metal, metal sheets, copper dust, copper wires and plates, wax, wire and wire mesh, leather, ink, metal rivets and nails, ropes, metal discs, polishing agents, crayons and oil paint, amongst other elements, add to the narrative.

The inspiration is as diverse as the techniques, styles and material used. An assorted range of subjects, from the non-representational to the figurative, from portraits to abstractions of landscape and animals, are some of the focal points explored in the body of work. The series on flamingos along with the series on divergent windows created with wood, copper wire and metal sheets lend the body of work a diverse and varied expression. Renditions of divine imagery, scenes of valour and firecrackers juxtaposed with images that represent tranquil calm, play muse to the artist’s varied style of amalgamating various media, forms and techniques.

Sculptures in coal tar filled iron works are converged with spherical discs and void infused woks that form the blueprint of the installations, which are inspired from the ‘Shunya’ – where the iconic circular line is used to highlight the play of space, by making use of the demarcation between the positive and the negative of the Shunya and eventually merging the two spaces back into a whole, which by extension is Shunya or nothingness. Thereby this results in a union of the two states through its central form, which has varied interpretations.

Lamba, in his work, captures coal tar, treating it in various forms, layering it with diverse media through his vision, which eventually metamorphoses completely, as tar blends in with other assorted media, creating a mélange of form and abstraction that finally rests in “Nouveau”.
