JUN 30 -
Canvas and colours are not sufficient for artist Sunita Rana to express the whirlpool of emotions inside her; instead, she has added to her portfolio a collection of poetry that expresses these feelings. The inauguration of Rana’s fifth solo exhibition Nostalgia on Tuesday thus came with a surprise—Antim Kas—Rana’s collection of poems.
Inaugurating the event, poet Manjul expressed his pleasure, “I like it when artists paint on the canvas, but when artists write poems, I like it even more.” According to him, the poems of Rana bring forth vivid images like the colours on her canvas.
Rana’s abstract images of women in different shades hung on the walls of Srijana Contemporary Art Gallery will definitely grab one’s attention. Most of Rana’s art captures the joyful moments in a woman’s life. “I recollected some beautiful childhood memories and just expressed it on the canvas,” Rana said. The artist has made a good use of various warm and cool shades on mixed media. The use of glue along with pigments and water colour adds a unique touch to her works. Rana has also used acrylic paints and successfully blended dark hues of blue and purple with golden colours.
The verses in her poems too reflect similar emotions. Rana said, “The paintings and poems came up almost simultaneously, so they contain similar feelings.” Some of the poems that appear in Antim Kas have already been composed as songs. Rana’s poem, Timi Bhanda Pani, has been sung by Nepali singer Sugam Pokhrel.
The exhibition will continue till July 7.
