| ARTIST: PRADOSH SWAIN ORISSA MODERN ART GALLERY |
Bikash
Choudhury
Once I proposed to one Director of Art Gallery to conduct a
power point presentation for the Students of IIT
Bhubaneswar; he said “let’s not beat about the bush” we need to persuade people
to own a painting for the walls of their living room. He was right, as spending
a decade in the domain of Art and with an inventory of over thousands of
paintings; we can’t expect him to be optimistic. However, I have a strong
belief that Art could change the perspective and attitude of an intelligent
mind; and IIT students and their teachers
could be considered as highly intelligent minds and brush strokes could ignite
creativity and find solutions for the problems remain unattended as of now. Our
Media has shown very lukewarm response to Contemporary Art and Artist; as you
find maximum coverage given to sensational news like rape, murder, sex rackets
and accidents and thereafter, major chunk of news print and TV Air Time goes
for Politics, Politicians, Business, Businessmen and Sports and Sportsmen;
where is the time and space for the intelligent brush strokes in synthesis of
CMYK. Media could make amends and feature Art and Artists in their centre
spreads and in the prime time news and features. India
has never been all about money and business, Industry and Technology; rather,
it was full of Art and Architecture, Nature and Culture. Intelligent Media
Houses could make a shift and capture the new trend in advance or mould the
trend for their readers/viewers by putting the Creativity in its rightful
place.
