Affordable Art>Prittam Priyalochan

Galerie Art Eterne is organizing The Mind!!! Affordable Art by Artist Prittam Priyalochan.


This time it is young Prittam jr’s sincere Endeavour to portray the multifaceted characteristics of ‘The Mind’, God’s most sophisticated organic mechanism of the body operating with sharp and swiftest speed in changing colours that guides one’s activity in varied moods and movements. In this journey during this couple of years from ‘Instinct’ to ‘The Mind’ via ‘Eternity’ his unquenched thirst drags him deep to explore the newer avenues with spirited zeal blended with his creative pursuits in his mission to enter the inner depth parlor of the ‘mind’. We can attribute this attempt a search for the new vocabulary of ‘visual poetry’.

In order to capture the varied mood and movements of the ‘Mind’ and paint with deep passion and vision in a spontaneous mode, he is deeply indulged in his works with overlapping emotions hunting his thoughts to come out in his voluntary ink drawings of lines and curves. The encounter between Emotion and feeling (Bhaba) and reality zoom his skills and thoughts in the varied mood and temperaments of the ‘mind’ that acts and reacts in different situations differently. It bursts with laughter, cry, anger, hatred, sometimes silently remains aloof in sadness, keeps away in shy and some times, buries in shame. Rasa and Bhaba coin together to speak of his ‘mind’ that experienced the vivid pictures of recent pasts are contemporary events of personal and universal. The works can be defined as ‘mind game’ of a young soul seeking solace in turmoil, searching peace and tranquility in chaos and catastrophe.

The works can better be called the collage of colloquial simplicity. The images coming out of ink spreading voluntarily of a ‘Player Mind’ with hands moving spontaneously in a guided direction to open the ‘Pandora Box’ of the ‘mind’ that plays hide and seek with agony and ecstasy. The ink drawings are very informal in style and technique and he lets his hand to work with the flow of ‘mind’ that works in silhouette.
