ART PRACTICES IN THE CONTEMPORARY SCENARIO: A CRITIQUE
Journal Title: Artistic Narration: A Peer Reviewed Journal of Visual & Performing Art - Year 2017, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
Indian art in contemporary times has transcended the established formalistic approaches and within the modernist idiom has posed a challenge to established norms of practices. One such example is seen in artists employing installation and performance to present richly layered praxis. Also increasingly art is contextual responding to the socio-political and cultural milieu it belongs to thus, raising issues that reflect the artist’s engagement with not just the personal but the global in an art that is both topical and universal. This paper examines one such engagement, with nature and the environment, that raises multifarious concerns from degradation to exploitation to a growing consciousness of reversing the catastrophes man has engendered. The paper examines this through the work of three Indian artists - Sheba Chhachhi, Atul Bhalla and Subodh Kerkar.
