Artist Neeraj Gupta’s Makrana marble sculpture in Bikaner House Sparks Dialogue

Artist Neeraj Gupta’s sculpture title, as the wind rises, A single stone installed in Bikaner House, timeless pink Makrana is carved out of marble. At a glance it explains how the sculptor has crossed traditional boundaries to give a new dimension to Indian sculpture forms. Art has the ability to communicate in his work.

What is interesting that a single sculpture placed strategically in the open courtyard near the entrance of gate number 2 makes for a complete exhibition. Visitors stop at 10-feet long artwork weighing 4.2 tons, either out of curiosity or with its flowing lines.

“Art is fundamentally subjective. The intention is capable of appreciating people and remembering the work of passion,” Neeraj says, who is also the President of the Delhi Art Society.

Pink Makran marble from Nagaur district of Rajasthan is not an easy material to work. The sculpture of Neeraj suggests how the age of Indian sculpture traditions is required and global platforms are required to show development.

The idea for upliftment artwork came into Neeraj a year ago when he felt that organic would soon go far away with the development of the brain and machine with the development of the brain. Good art is not descriptive, but is a carrier of culturally distilled feelings and is open to many interpretations, they say. On the basis of their sculpture, there are curves reducing curves, which gradually merge into the interview formation at the upper level.

“They embrace the spirit of motion and churning – a metaphor for the eternal processes of creation, development and change; The curved lines flow into each other and expand into a composition rich in rhythm and resonance,” Neeraj of his work said that it took him eight months to complete.

For some viewers, sculpture provokes the cosmic churning of energy; For others, harmony of contradictions, or unity in diversity. The essence incites the organic form idea, reflection and dialogue yet.

The sculptor has deliberately chisked the natural texture in parts with a laborious polish surface to break the natural texture and bring out the multi -level feelings shown in stone. “This is a contemporary discovery of form, movement and meaning to enhance reflective character,” they say.

By imposing silence, the symbol of sculpture creativity and a periodic dialogue between tradition and modernity, harmony and continuity is reminiscent of which shapes Indian art.

The sculpture will be at Bikner House for a year. An empty space that was now offering visitors to a new world, forcing them to stop and forces them to deepen something from the worldly. As Neeraj concluded, “I like to have an idea there and the audience should let it take it, but they want that moment.”
