Hence, I painted them black “It would not be an exaggeration to say that what we see as normal sight in our day-to-day life is nothing but the destruction and colonisation of nature. The instruments, equipment and simulated structures we have erected towards this one-way journey of destruction often threatens me. The dilemma is that it all comes in the name of progress and development. Though I am not willing to participate in this process of destruction, I am still a part of this phenomenon owing to the power of its perpetrators. My attempt is to understand the predicament of our times and I see my works as a reaction to these destructive processes. Hence, I painted them black.” - Subhakar Tadi

Drawing inspiration from situations and environs observed in the surroundings, the artist creates diverse works reflecting the displacement of human values and materials, or the stress and tension of urban living. Inspired by memories, legends and myths, emotions intersect in their artwork. The artist enjoys printmaking, as he believes it strengthens the drawing hand and helps develop an excellent visual sense. Thus, through explorations of lines, tones, and textures, the artist builds narratives of desire and disappointment, love and longing, pain and joy.

Vruddhi's artistic process is driven by a deep curiosity about the connection between art and emotional responses. By thinking while creating, she delves into the depths of her psyche, expressing herself through intricate drawings. Nature serves as a profound inspiration, as she admires its ability to adapt and reclaim its space. Her artwork reflects the repeating patterns found in the surrounding flora, mirroring the harmonious disorder of the natural world. Vruddhi experiments with various materials, but finds herself continually drawn to papier mache, handmade papers, bamboo, and organic elements. She approaches her work meditatively, allowing the materials to guide her as she organises the chaos in her mind. Through her drawings, she aims to capture the fleeting nature of her thoughts and emotions, giving them a tangible form. Vruddhi seeks to honour the present moment and the passage of time by incorporating underlying memories of herself into her art, creating a visual testament to her experiences.
