TRANSCENDING FORMS

Everything has a perception attached, a conditioning that we often carry within as we grow up and start labeling them. This relates not only to people but also the objects around us. Transcending Forms is a series of work that explores objects beyond its confined limits thereby trying to look at it in a different way and understand its own demands and limitations while creating an artwork. My journey with objects began in 2011 when I first visited Varanasi known as the spiritual capital. The city of Shiva. I observed the place, its people, the culture and its tremendous vibrancy. Sitting on the Ghats for hours and observing it’s various dimensions and flavors, I realized that it has its own nature.  It was there that I felt I wanted to work on this subject not the way it is but the way I saw, the way I felt and the way I perceived. Returning back, I was clueless how and where to begin from but I did have the urge to think out of the box and work. There wasn’t any thought process or plans but I was surely seeking. That is when I came across few objects like the board pins, wires, the cloth, threads and corrugated sheets. We all know how these elements are used but for me a different language was emerging. I used them to portray the ghats, the umbrellas, and the landscapes the way I perceived
Gradually these objects created an urge to once again challenge and take them beyond the identity that I had created and thus began this experimental abstract series. This series TRANSCENDING FORMS is an attempt to once again take these objects beyond the limit without any definition or explanation. At times it is least needed when it comes to visual aesthetics. It is then about experiencing the forms that are created, the process that one goes through. For me this series is an expansion of infinite possibilities where at times I do fumble when I am handling them and at times it flows with such ease. It has space, a textured surface; I have used white, black, blue, red, yellow and orange. In my work a single color dominates and along with it the objects that create the forms resonate and correlate. A single color dominates and I develop a flat or a textured surface. With the objects my approach is minimalist and simple. I enjoy the entire process as it has infinite possibilities. It not only makes me curious but also challenges me to look and go beyond the confined limits.

 I look forward to work with more diversified techniques and materials.

ART IS A JOURNEY

    Ronak Sopariwala  "Red means Freedom and Women want Red" , Acrylic on Canvas , 24"x 36 " "The Pyre" , Watercolour on Acid free paper, 18"x 24"  Creativity is all about taking risk be it any form of art. It is an endless journey that does not have a destination. It is a continous urge within which keeps on going that enables an artist to keep on exploring and experimenting with forms, ideas ,materials and much more. It is a language of expressing ones own views through any form of art .   This completely signifies the thought process of Ronak Sopariwala, a visual artist from Ahmedabad. Ronak strongly believes that art is created by an artist and also killed by an artist. Though this seems to be a contradicting statement but it surly emphasis on the process by which any artist works, at times facing conflicts between being creative or being professional or for that matter finding a way out in between, as this ultimately depends on an indiviadua...
