Artist Statement - Lovesh Sharma
My imaginative world is charged with emotions, day dreams and reflections, with a soaring spirit and a deep concern, for such values as love, care, sympathy and the capacity for survival. As Ihave said earlier , I believe in the words of Immanuel Kant who declared that “Man becomes an artist, as soon as he imagines.”
Yet, as a youth deeply rooted in a middle class environment and in the day to day problems of the business of living, I am close to the realities of contemporary existence. For instance, when someone close to me reveals problems during an informal chat and talks to me of a failed marriage or broken bonds, or a personal tragedy, I am seized with ferment which results in works full of tension and dark foreboding but relieved by a consciousness of, and faith in, the possibilities of joy and self fulfillment.
This constantly unraveling drama of everyday life swarms with images from nature, birds and beasts, stars in the overarching sky, and dreams of distant lands beyond the water.
I prefer to depict my male and female figures in their distinctive moods: lost, forlorn - disturbed faces, as well as those imbued with severity or sensuous joyousness. My human figures and other sundry creatures, in their proportions, postures and movement appear like characters in a dramatic enactment set in a narrative mode. Single figures or groups of figures seem to relate their individual or collective stories to which the format of the woodcuts draws attention.
