T I R A N G A - Tri Colored Strokes to "Indian Patriotism" Humanistic & Creative,
exhibition of artworks by more than 100 eminent artists from all over India who have
shown their endless passion for Mother India and have spread their vivid thoughts in
Tri Colors.
TIRANGA, a term denoting the three colors of the Indian flag, has been of special
significance to the nation. Chosen for its special symbolism, where the saffron was
linked to sacrifice, the white to peace and the green to prosperity, the Tiranga
played a key role in inspiring people during our freedom struggle. Today, in
addition, it has become a symbol of unity for all Indians - Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs,
Christians, Dalits and others, who stand united as one nation under the Tiranga.
In the current exhibition artists have accomplished in their recent works, a gamut
of tri-color strokes to salute Indian patriotism. The title of this exhibition -
TIRANGA - represents the participating artists' visionary understanding of this
terminology. They express their individual sensitivities and reactions through a
myriad moods and colors. Together, these creations become the voice of a free India,
a way of life for which the freedom struggle was waged. It also provides viewers of
the exhibition an insight into the shades of interpretation of the twin message of
unity and social relevance that the colors communicate.
In this context it would not be out of place to examine and recall every arrangement
within the space of the Tiranga, originally chosen with extreme care and
contemplation. The charkha at its heart incorporated the dreams generated by freedom
and the dynamics of both peace and battle. Today, its movement suggests that a
creative India is moving this charkha of progress in both a rural and urban and
format. Mother India weaves the threads of unity into a fabric, strengthening the
ground for future progress, becoming thereby the force behind our ongoing
resurgence. The three color bands of the Tiranga once conceived as pillars of our
Indian freedom struggle now form the stabilizing factor of national unity overriding
considerations of time and history. It envisages the idea of permanence born on the
bedrock of unity amidst diversity a unity that perpetuates permanence, come what
may.
Ranging from the pictorial to the somber, the works incorporate an in-depth
accountability of the term Tiranga, in the current context. Several of the exhibits
have used kites and reels as their chosen symbol to express their understanding of
freedom. Others have dealt with the more painful aspects of this event, namely the
rifts created by partition and the scars it left behind, generating thereby negative
and fearful forces, in depictions of terrorism. But these forces have been negated
by the overwhelming presence of peace in the form of a peaceful Buddha visage, a
message of hope within extensive but temporary turmoil. Events such as a nation's
freedom are bound to have a bearing on the impressionistic side of the artist. Like
Bhishma of the Mahabharata they remain transfixed by a determination to accomplish
their goal of making patriotic fervor an artistic statement. The 'TIRANGA', on show
at Art Mall therefore, is a new and relevant interpretation of 'TIRANGA' as the true
symbol of our freedom.
Naren Bhiku Ram Jain of Art Mall, as organiser of the show, was happy that this show
has come about through the cooperation and support that it has received from the
artist fraternity at large. The creative interpretations of independent message of
more than 120 artists, in a gamut of symbolic images, are a mirror held up to the
achievements of modern India. The past too, comes into focus through many-faceted
colorations used to depict the concept. Such a unique statement has made the show a
unique art statement on the map of contemporary Indo British Art.
