Unconventional themes her style
Chandigarh, April 6 As this year's winner of the All- Indian Fine Arts and Crafts Society's (AIFACS) national award for drawing, Anjali has made a point. Inspired and deep, her works have always communicated something more than expected. Her work on animal forms, for example, has fetched her great admiration for the simple reason that "animals don't make for such a glamorous theme". But this lecturer in applied art at Government Art College in Sector 10 is determined to prove otherwise. "They are so close to nature and everything that represents it. I feel drawn towards them, and I feel responsible. So I draw. It is not that I am consciously campaigning for their rights, but it will not be wrong to say that I don't care," says Anjali whose works are mainly executed in Indian ink. As for the award-winning work — it underlines the power of black and white when they come together on the canvas in a certain manner. Anjali says, "The work shaped itself. As such I hate to dictate forms or even revise my works. I firmly believe that art should be free from manipulations. The canvas should be allowed to talk." For her part, Anjali draws inspiration from nature and its countless manifestations. Not only are most of her themes unconventional, her manner of expression is also unique. "I use Indian ink, which has an interesting history. Although manufactured in China, it is called Indian ink because the British East India Company used to send it to Britain through India. Despite so many changes in the histories of nations, this name has remained unchanged," she says. The medium is powerful as it offers vibrancy and flexibility. "You can lend to the canvas an opaque or a transparent look. The medium empowers you as an artist," adds Anjali, who is now working on several other works, with animals at their heart. |
