While most artists have an signature style, they develop and grow in their manifestation ways. Well, it is expected from them, at least to say. Artist Siddharth Shingde’s patrons will be happy to see their latest exhibition, their skills in the Almanac Homelands, who are currently on a performance in the city.
Since two years since his last single show in Bengaluru, Siddharth still attached to the rustic beauty of the village’s life, attempted to catch his details in a series of brilliantly hired miniatures. Known for its large, bold canvas that are prepared around the Earth tones, the miniatures come as more than a pleasant surprise.
Siddharth says, “I after a visit to the village, remember me, where I have always found life in detail,” he said, he said how he discovered happiness in simple things. And this attraction reveals itself in the traditional nose ring, the door panels and water utensils, bull trains and in detail on the mortar – a node for a way of life is familiar with most of us to speak for a manner of life – now present in our canvas.

“Woman is a figure of major importance in my work and has been depicted either through their figures, face or form. I have seen that in rustic and agricultural communities, they do not enjoy the feeling of freedom or personality. In some of my actions, I have not deliberately given them lips – to show repression, my art expression is lacking.
The almanac homelands are divided into gram life miniatures and door chains, in which everyday scenes are prepared against an entrance. In the gallery, the wealth of rural life is described in short paintings, which reflects the Ovre of the big, bold canvas artist of the landscape.

Siddharth has a specific style with which he catches trees; Silent watchdog to go downward – whether it is grief or celebration. “In this series, I have tried to collect trees with human emotions and gestures such as happiness, growth and peace. The trees are an integral part of my childhood, rural life and Hindu mythology is an important part in mythology,” the artist says, I remind me of the knowledge of Buddha under the Bodhi tree.
Another attraction of the show, or perhaps most important, is the presence of a colorful turtle game on its shell. Prepared from fiberglass and acrylic, a piece called Pooja, undoubtedly an icatcher.
Siddarath says, “I recently carried out a series in Hyderabad, which was around the Samundra Manthan (Churning of the Ocean). It was a really pleasant experience and its scenes were still fresh in my mind. It is about this composition that this creation came, which rarely works on idols or establishments.
The almanac motherland by Siddharth Shingade will be on performance in Kynkyny till 18 April. Closed on Sunday. Admission fee.
