20th Jan. – 31st Jan. 2019:  Pradarshak presents “Expressions” Wood & Metal Sculptures by Sucharita Adhikary

A young impressionable artist from Kolkata, Sucharita shows a remarkable prowess in working with wood. The artist diligently continues to work on her subject of ‘heads’, which gain inspiration from her early days in Kolkata, where, as a fellow commuter, she closely observed the fisherwomen, tribal folk and other labourers returning home after a tired day at work.

Those facial expressions that were laid bare, without the decorum of social obligations, tired eyes that looked into nothingness… just waiting to get back to home and hearth… have left an indelible impact on Sucharita’s psyche.  She often muses about the lives of the labour class and their exhausted visages; chiselling the imagery into wood and metal.

Expression-7 Metal 11” x 4” x 6”

In this exhibition, the artist goes beyond the tired visage to attempt to decode the web of thoughts that plague the mind, filtering and focussing on those elusive traces that make it to the visage. Using predominantly Mahogany, she chisels various emotions into these expressions. 

Sucharita’s sculptures are acerbic, even amusing at times. They draw you closer, engage and leave you pondering… trancelike… before you tend to move on. Trying to understand her perspective will be an added plus to the viewers of this exhibition.
