Sept. – 8th Oct. 2016: Pradarshak presents ‘Monoprints’ Debut Solo Exhibition by Arti Jatar
A quest for the unknown can be a strange and potent driver; as is the
case of this young self-taught artist Arti Jatar, who began dabbling with art
way back in 2010-2011. She discovered a penchant for monoprints and has honed
her skill set through several group and participatory exhibitions to present
her debut solo exhibition – largely based on her first love – nature.

“The
monoprint technique is very fascinating as the process involves taking a single
original print using glass as a medium. The beauty of this medium is that it is
a combination of printmaking, painting and drawing and I enjoy it as it offers
considerable freedom and possibilities to work, in terms of any tool that one
can use, which does not restrict me only to a paintbrush,” explains Arti.

With
nature as her mentor, and a sensitive disposition, Arti is naturally inclined
to cherish fleeting moments of beauty and see the beautiful in the mundane;
transferring it to her monoprints.

Diligently
and delicately rendered, using additive and subtractive elements, each of her
monoprints stands out as a sensitive fusion of texture and pattern. Largely
monochromatic, the artist is beginning to get confident with her colour
applications.
This is one artist to watch out
for!
