Crash course
The works of Haroon Khimani, on display in the city, is a commentary on the chaos and aftermath of disasters
 |
| ( Inspired by nature) |
Artist Haroon Khimani’s work, currently on display at Artworld, Sarala’s Art Centre, speaks the language of today, with a strong sense of social commitment. His art is a commentary on the chaos and aftermath of disasters, both in Nature and in the urban, concrete jungle. The artist, who works on collages with acrylic colours mostly, creates an array of imagery that offers a peek into scenes after a ‘crash’ has occurred.
A sense of loss
 |
| ( Work on display) |
The paintings all have interesting names. Sample these — Like A House Of Cards, Fury Of Nature, Aftermath The Wreckage, The Landslide Destroyed Homes, Pile Them High… And in them, pictures come together with the artist’s imagination, and the interplay of the two produces a rich repertoire of paintings detailing a sense of loss. In the painting Main Entrance, the title of the work is actually part of the canvas. Another work, Tree Shadowed Moon, featuring a moonlit tree with a halo of sorts is a striking image of calm amid the other works surrounding it that invoke a sense of catastrophe.
“There is an ethical side to Nature that borders between being and nothingness. That inspires me the most. Creating a super sensual experience on canvas is an intense personal experience, but it has its parallel in higher nature. This comes close to being spiritual and is complete yet incomplete, and to see this duality as one requires a vision of self-fulfilment. My vision takes me beyond the three-dimensional world. It is like sympathetic magic, which I translate into colourful tapestry on my canvas,” Haroon says of his work.
The artist is a graduate in painting and has also worked as a designer in the handloom sector in South India with the Government of India and later started his own business of designer textiles. The year 2005 marked Haroon’s return to the world of art from that of textiles.
The exhibition is on till December 23 at Artworld, Sarala’s Art Centre.
