“In today’s modern world, we are fortunate to have access to knowledge and scientific analysis that contribute to a diverse and cosmopolitan culture. Despite this change, we still maintain a connection to our roots, making it fascinating to explore the origin, evolution and redundancy of life. According to renowned art historian Edith Tomory, great art is not just an expression but serves as a means of communication and words are crucial in comprehending different aspects of life. However, communication can also be visual, with words reciprocating some images and vice versa.
Contemporary art is not limited to the picture’s surface; it has an aura that reverberates and encompasses multiple connotations. In ancient India, the sages were referred to as seers of Mantras, as they illuminated a particular meaning of the mantras, while others remained to be revealed. This may be a form of symbolism, which could be why a painting is called Alekhyem and described as written instead of painted. At this juncture, there must be an intimate connection between words and images,” says renowned artist Dr. Suresh Chandra Jangid.
“The works I create stem from this type of inquiry during the creative process. It involves communication through various forms, colors, symbols, or words. Sometimes, I recognize a specific form, but suddenly, an adage flashes in my mind, and I begin to question that form. In response, it suggests some words, which, in turn, suggest some other form. This process brings me immense joy and we should all indulge in this conversation and enjoy peaceful talking amidst this noisy world,” he added.
Dr. Suresh Chandra Jangid is an active artist having five successful solo exhibitions and participated in several group shows within the country and abroad including 48th and 49th National Exhibition of Art by National Lalit Kala Academy at Mumbai and Bhopal, 45th to 49th, 56th to 58th State Exhibition, Rajasthan Lalit Kala Akademi. He has participated in various conferences, seminars, workshops and published more than 10 research papers.
We should continue to explore and appreciate the intimate connection between words and images. As we evolve, we should not forget our roots and instead make an effort to understand the origin of our existence
“we should continue to explore and appreciate the intimate connection between words and images. As we evolve, we should not forget our roots and instead make an effort to understand the origin of our existence. The process of communicating through different forms, colors, symbols, or words is a joyful one that can help us find peace and meaning amidst the chaos of the world we live in,” Dr. Suresh Chandra Jangid remarked.
Dr. Suresh Chandra Jangid has been teaching art at Faculty of Visual Arts, Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi since 2019.
