Uninhibited
innocence Chandigarh, September 3 To the little one, occupying space of this gallery may not mean much. That is perhaps why he was seen strolling all over the bhavan campus today, least concerned about who was coming or going. He can do that because he is a child. His drawings were all about uninhibited expressions, which mark a child’s psyche. Some among the audience were seen drawing comparisons between the child and the legendary Picasso. Alongside some of Sunirmit’s works, Picasso’s “simplicity” images was also mounted. The attempt was to show how the great painter and advocated simple images, sans all complexities of thought and imagination. The image in question was that of a bull. As for the child, art is a big thing, especially now that it has given him so much of public attention. The influence of his teachers on his works is apparent from the fact that at a tender age, he has drawn the Yellow House (the place of Vangogue’s suicide) and has also drawn some works which, his teachers say, have been inspired by Jogen Chaudhry. Whatever the inspiration, the images are innocent, which is the child’s biggest achievement. He has also been promoted by the Punjab Lalit Kala Akademi, which came forward to offer a major gallery space to his drawings. The works are all about plain images, plainly drawn. The ideas are raw, as they are expected to be. Two computer graphic works by the child stand out for some kind of maturity which the machine begets. Rest of the images are straight out of an untutored mind. The exhibition will be on till September 5 and can be viewed between 10 am and 6 pm. |

Seminar on threat
to culture held Chandigarh, September 3 Describing the present-day cultural scenario where everybody is blindly aping the west, Radhe Shyam Sharma, a local journalist, said both print and electronic media, specially satellite TV, were to be blamed for corrupting the children’s mind with vulgarity. Invasion of multinationals were adding to the destruction of our age-old moral values, he added. Saying it was our mindset and inferiority complex that was pushing our youngsters to adopt western culture ignoring our own, Sharma emphasised the need for mobilising public opinion, in society, specially the parents, to come forward and wage a war against the forces working against our culture. Echoing the same sentiment, Mr. R.C. Jeewan, Principal of the local DAV College, who presided over the function, said great Indian morals were being shattered due to cheap propaganda of other nations to remove the unwanted pollutants and we would have to work hard to imbibe the right kind of values among our youngsters. Air Vice-Marshal Manjeet Singh said Indian culture was strong enough to withstand the test of time and with little effort from conscious people it would emerge victorious once again. “So far, only two nations, namely India and China, have been able to retain their 2000 year old civilisations without much distortions”, he said. The seminar had an interactive session. About 100 participants interacted with the speakers. |
