Artist Bharati Sagar tried with nature

As much as she likes to work with New Media, Bangalore-based artist, Bharti Sagar, is happy to have her heart joy to return to her water colors, dried pastels, charcoal and oil and catch people. His latest single show, a attempt with nature, follows its experiments with metal dust and citric acid on canvas.

“I did three shows with metal dust, and although I found it very dirty, I don’t think I would leave it. Two pieces in this show are also made with that medium. I wanted to return to my previous work too,” Bharti says.

“I like to meet new people and children-this way this latest series came,” she says, talking about the 20-odd pieces she created in the last two to three years. “I started some of them before preserving the grandeur (its previous show on the endangered species), and raised from where I left.”

In an attempt with nature, Canvas is executed in the infallible style of the artist-similar to the Sanki and Dream, with an alis-in-wanderland quality. According to the show’s curator Sherly Matthew, “Bharti is a skilled artist and his way of handling her paintings is quite different from others. They are badly, poetic and endurance with a romantic appeal.”

Bharti says that she takes inspiration from memories and events around it. “My grandchildren were inside and outside the house, and were registering those steps with me. I brought my memories out in different ways,” the artists say that who is continuously sketching.

And yet, as they can see, most inequality, most of the work of Bharati takes a simple message from Mother Nature if someone cares to accept it. For example, where have all the Flowers gone The environment is about, portrays a child caught on the world, wants to protect it, while surrounded by vrooking or dried flowers.

Unlike many artists, Bharati believes in title to her work. “I would like to leave some direction for the audience, so they understand what is going on in my mind. Saying that, I am also open to my interpretations.”

The artists, who fell in love with art and drawing as a child, say it was an essential subject in the school and developed a strong hand in drawing pictures there. She took admission in Jawaharlal Nehru Institute of Fine Arts and Architecture in Hyderabad. “In those days, if you get more than 80% in your entrance exam, you went straight to the second year and this is a good memory for me.”

Bharti, who is the most happy in her studio, says, “For me, art is a form of devotion and meditation.”

An attempt by India Sagar with nature will be displayed in the MKF Museum of Art by July 2, 2025. Entry free, Monday closed.
