Event Description : EXHIBITION "Wooden Horse : A Self Portrait" A solo show of paintings by Ms. Manu Singh

Mostly my works are large canvas paintings that explore imaginary background & landscapes. They are elemental imaginary landscapes, which look like water, earth or sky.
I use conte`, oil and other elements as mediums. I experiment with supports as well as with medium. The possibilities of support/surface fascinate me.With support/surface & mediums trying to push reality to the other side where the “real” is still recognizable, but start becoming partially SURREAL. I want to see how far I can push both the real and the surreal at the same time, into one another, building that tension until they are just one and the same.
I often use figures (protagonists) to convey my thoughts. The protagonists in my paintings are a wooden horse, rooted boat, giant wheel, burnt dart, no face, large wings, birds, nature and shadow.However, they exist as a reason to push paint around. WOODEN HORSE A SELF-PORTRAIT.... features the sense of a limited view of itself. Doing self-portrait may be limited to the experience of our own perceptions because we do not have the mental resources to see more than what we have already perceived.
so while it doing its portrait questions arise?
Is it striving for perfection based on someone else's standard?
Would it result in struggle with self-doubt and fears of disapproval and rejection, or Would it result in excellence in a healthy way take genuine pleasure in trying to meet high standards?
The self, in this view, is an accumulated structure of self about what this particular mind can see.so“a self-portrait”of the wooden horse has to be less a mural and more a doodling.

The WOODEN HORSE, in my paintings, shown in humdrum settings, at times of different conditions surrounding. It's the monotony of the protagonist’s existence against the extraordinary circumstances. it finds itself in, that provides ; somewhat mysterious attitude. Visually, my painting has to have a quality to highlight the feelings the character is experiencing.
Sometimes I have a clear agenda on my narratives, other times it comes about through painterly process. I want the work to be born from the realm of paint, not illustration.I have been experimenting with various approaches to try and develop my painterly language, such as scale, colour palette, materials and ways of looking at my subject. Experiments are important provided they have a long lasting impact on viewers. In short, my ART should be converted into long lasting visual experience.
