The Good, Bad and the evil – Visions translated into Art forms

"An artwork gets made on its own...." Piraji Sagara

....no plans hence unique.

We all as individuals are pieces of art crafted by some natural, supernatural and human powers... this is what exactly this Art show is all about: “Eternal!!” as these powers are, so is Piraji... eternal! and his art which is still living.

We are living in era of mobility, mobile phones...Piraji through his paintings has actually crafted mobile HERITAGE. He amalgamated various mediums like bead embroidered fabrics, various forms of metal pieces like nails made of aluminium & copper, burnt wood, burnt adhesive. All these are layered, painted, polished, carved, drilled, charred, framed and installed at various galleries to relive Piraji.

Each piece is clearly a mix of life and life beyond, the forces which control life, five elements, God...

I could spot an art piece holding carved flying creatures on which clearly reflect feelings of freedom and liberation which is a constant driving force of soul or life energy, the force which helps us chug forward leaving behind the smoke of charred fuel and the adhesives that binds.

Moving forward is the sole agenda of a creative soul...

A line mentioned by Piarji in his book is, “An artist does not make a thing, it gets made by him. There is no print in an artist’s head that he follows. That would be a mere copy of work. It demands to be made. An artwork gets made on its own”.

On very similar lines, I have got this realisation, we need to tune into with the source of our existence, those pure forms of energy.. then; with no plans we just float with creation our creator, smoothly and effortlessly, instinctively, lovingly....

Instincts we all are gifted with, but do we really make use of it?

Something again which attracted my attention the most, that at Piraji’s place there was always work of creation on... no one ever spoke on monetary aspects, about trade affairs, buying and selling. An artist trusts his own existence and his creator and creations.

Above article is on works of Piraji Sagara under title "Remembering Piraji", showcased at Kanoria Center for Arts - Ahmedabad from March 17th - 29, 2017

Child makes a mother and mother a child - Not the gender

7th January, 2017 - In yet another initiative of prenatal and post natal health, Sanidhya Hospital at South Bopal organised an awareness drive. A fun filled day where expecting mothers were invited to gather know how of many of their queries which remain either unanswered or leave them confused with too many inputs which are given by friends or relatives. Dr. Archana Shah, gynaecologist and infertility specialist at Sanidhya Hospital mentioned, "this effort has been especially taken to educate the would be mothers who in today's age of nuclear families have no one to mentor them.

The Kastoori of Agriculture and it's women

Saturday 22nd June 2019: Agriculture, call it a tradition, an occupation or being part of the nature and our existence with it!! Just like Kastoori or the musk is within the deer, but it keeps hunting outside, similar is with our Agriculture sector. It had always been our primary resource, but we complicated the same hunting outside, making farmers dependant on complex and manipulative processes. We all know that various climatic and financial factors with overburdened chemical dependency has made this sector gloomy, turning down into a compounded cyclical process which has now started affecting the urban too; giving the realisation to human race now to bridge the gap between the two. Farmer suicides and pesticides in food chain with increase in cancer cases is just the tip of the iceberg. Purvi Vyas, Mentor WGWLO & Babita Jain Chair person FLO With such an initiative Ficci FLO Ahmedabad on 21st June, organised an event Coordinated by Shilpa patel , Kinnery Sh
