'PORTRAITS'
The Guild Art Gallery is delighted to present recent works by Jehangir Jani Solo show titled 'Portraits'. The basic medium used for expression in this show is acrylic and oil on canvas.
"This exhibition is an attempt to capture the human spirit through figurative painting.
My concern has largely been the human body and my enquiry into the dynamics of existence. The real body has the capacity to express large truths- of dignity, of pain, of survival of the self, this despite the traumas and anxieties which life is fraught with.
Desire drives one to the quest of a fulfillment in the other. I want to make visible negotiations from the realm of desire to the realm of the flesh, undeniably physical and palpable.
There is implicit a bid for a utopian possibility, a triumph of the human being overcoming the travails of the journey with dignity and integrity".
Says Jani about his present works.
The exhibition is on at The Guild Art Gallery from July 7 to July 31, 2004
