SANGEETA GUPTA
FUGUE (Oil-35”X35”) By Sangeeta Gupta
Artist Journey: Sangeeta Gupta
A poet in her own right and an artist, Sangeeta Gupta started her artistic journey with intricate drawings. Her real calling was discovered in her abstracts in oils and acrylics on canvas. Her solo show in 2002 with Kumar Gallery launched her love for contour within the abyss of color; the works seemed to stir both within and
without and splash off the canvass. Her tryst with art is born of her own meditative ruminations in time, the undulating blend of calligraphic and sculptonic entities are all realms that she has explored with aplomb. Images in abstraction that harkens the memory of Himalayan journeys and inspirations, the works speak of an artistic sojourn that continues in a mood of ruminations and reflections over the passage of time. Sangeeta wields the brush with finesse, suggesting the viscosity of ink, the glossiness of lacquer, the mist of heights, the glow of the sun, and the inherent palette of rocks when wet. The canvases bespeak surfaces akin to skin, bark and the earth. Her first solo exhibition was at Birla Academy of Art & Culture, Kolkata in 1995. Her 23 solo shows have been held all over India i.e. Delhi, Mumbai, Kolkata, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Lucknow and Chandigarh and abroad at London, Berlin, Munich and Lahore. She has participated in more than 100 group shows in India & abroad, in national exhibitions of Lalit Kala Academy, AIFACS and Sahitya Kala Parishad and in several art camps. There is a collection of short stories and four anthologies of poems in Hindi to her credit. Her poems are translated in many languages. Her collection of poems Pratinaad has also been translated in Bangla, English and German. Her latest book „Lekhak ka Samay‟ has been published in 2006 which is a compilation of interviews of eminent women writers in Hindi.

LOKEN DA HUMANE
Rhythmic Romance (Oil-20”X20”) By Loken Da Humane
All roads of wisdom lead to humanity and music is pure vibrancy of love that brings us all together. “My understanding of colors in my paintings is a tryst to bring more colors to life in the lives of people of all walks”, he says. This joy of life in form of music moods presented in paintings is purest expressions of freedom with no barriers of race, caste, creed, color and religion. His work has been deeply influenced by Sufi thinking that defines unity with one God. Artist Journey: Loken Da Humane (Lokendra Kumar)
Loken started his art journey in his childhood under his father‟s guidance. He found solace in karma and his artistic creativity. He remembers his father sent him every “summer vacation to learn a trade,” leading to his acquired skills of carpentry, tailoring, construction, and selling various products; his life has also been shaped by understanding poverty on a daily basis. In his schooling days he remembers (Mr. Hirvey, his drawing teacher) failed every other student in the class but him. “I never
knew that one day this passion of art will become a sole source of my living style”, says Loken. “During my school education I was very passionate about sports, and mastered Martial Arts thus winning many awards at national level competitions in Judo competitions… Due to lack of financial support, I had to work in order to continue my studies. I traveled to Saudi Arabia in search of a job and upon returning, joined Law Faculty and YMCA for journalism, where I met my spouse, got married and worked for Unit Trust of India as a marketing manager for several years,” he smilingly exclaimed. He loves Hindi, Punjabi, Urdu, and Sufi poetry and is currently working on this literature to be published at a later date. Loken completed his first phase of sculpting in 1996 as a self taught sculptor, and received helpful guidance from a well known sculptor, S.C. Ahuja. He then went onto expanding his horizons further in the field of casting sculptures and established a foundry in Mumbai, where he completed several projects and won the highest award for sculptures – “B. Vithal Award for Nostalgia.” He has participated in several exhibitions of varying styles of sculptures and paintings internationally, including India, Dubai, Oman, Japan, Paris and United States where he is currently residing in California.

RAGINI SINHA
Three Friends (48"X48") By Ragini Sinha
The basis of all the relationships is being together in the times of love and happiness and this theme has been personified in this painting. The reflection of happiness is mostly through togetherness which on the one hand provides an opportunity and, on the other; it paves the way for sedate melancholy because it is through this that a person finds a mechanism for overcoming the gloom. This painting provides a mind description of unfettered flour of happiness through the company of likeminded people.

SANGEETA K MURTHY
Rhythm of Life IX (30"X48") By Sangeeta K Murthy
Rhythm of life is an expression of life with different postures of feet representing one‟s life as some are dancing, resting and some taking step forward while the others on different stances of the life. A life cannot be shown only by the facial expressions but also by movement of the feet. This way Sangeeta portrays motion in life on bed of flowers (flowers here are synonym for her soft feelings). The flowers shown are enhancing the life‟s beauty, fragrance and colorful joy. I use soothing colors and different textures for which she is known and art lovers notice in her paintings.

MANISSHA KHANNA
Yognidra (36”x60”) By Manissha Khanna
Like a flower bud, human life has the potential to blossom fully. Blossoming of human potential to fullness is Yoga: Sri Sri Ravi Shankar. Yoga nidra is a part of the series of my paintings "Science of the Soul" which revolves around Yoga, meditation and purity of the soul. Yoga nidra is a state in which there is awareness of the conscious, subconscious and unconscious fields of your mind all at one time. It is a perfect therapy that removes all psychological abnormalities, create oneness with nature and natural self. Yoga nidra is a qualitatively different relaxation that over rides a normal sleep. It is a 'sleep' where all stresses and worries are cast off to attain a more peaceful state of awareness, a deeper and nourishing relaxation that otherwise can not be achieved during ordinary sleep. The use of metallic pigments and colours enhance the beauty of painting but also give a distinct glow of meditative feel in the artwork.
Artist Journey: Manissha Khanna

RANJEET SINGH
Yamu XIII (Acrylic - 48"x54") By Ranjeet Singh
Art is a Refection of Reality
My paintings are generally objective oriented having a thematic approach. Till now, my painting series are focused mainly on working child commonly known as child labor in civil society. Yamu series visualizes the different aspects of this social evil depicting a child‟s dream delimited to obtain only a „Roti‟. Here Yamu, the inspiration beyond this series work, is a child working on a tea-stall. Some of the works are also linked with Hindu Mythology with symbolic treatment of Lord Shiva or mighty Hanuman. The work shown here is one of them. Here the child Yamu has been shown in the form of Hanuman blended with supernatural powers as depicted in mythology. Here also I see Yamu full of Supernatural powers that can be the future of our country. In fact, he is capable of doing everything full of enormous energy. Flying with
newspapers just depicts a symbol of energy possessed by the small kid, Yamu. In fact, I have tried to see Yamu‟s life with surrealistic angle where the boy is seeing the reality of his life with full concentration. I am working in surrealistic style, generally in acrylic medium. Artist Journey: Ranjeet Singh

SURYAKANT TIWARI
Untitled-I (Acrylic-26”X50”) By Suryakant Tiwari
Untitled-I is representation of an abstract form of an attempt to look into the realms of brain patterns, these are thoughtful, though undefined in a common logic of visualization. At the same time art critics find a wide spectrum of forms and pattern in Tiwari‟s style that of a passionate artist.
Artist Journey: Suryakant Tiwari
Suryakant Tiwari born in 1961, expressed his artistic creation when he merely attained 5 years of age. He won many accolades for drawing & painting during his entire schooling period. He learnt a lot in art journey at several stages. He completed his B.F.A. from Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai, India. Suryakant Tiwari initiated his artistic work with a realistic theme and continued this concept for quitea long, but the confinement of this realistic job often used to detain his creativity with in the realistic frame of art. Meanwhile, his genuine creativity started obsessing him sometimes with the passion for soaring high in the boundless skies and sometimes to be drifted away with the flowing currents of artistic streams. This surging tide of his creativity invoked his obsession for
abstract type of work. And right since thereafter he got immensely engrossed in the abstract work as thereby, he got reavealed that the very essence of art should not only be confined to the artist, but should reach out to the hearts of art loving people. He aptly unleashes the hidden treasure of abstract painting by giving vent to his expressive views that it is the right equilibrium of different forms generating a harmony within them. It is absolutely indifferent to any theme, thought, and concept of story. On the other hand, it is the exquisite combination of experiment and techniques. It is almost difficult task to give a finishing touch to an abstract painting. It is not a child‟s play but involves great endeavors in its construction. Suryakant Tiwari‟s work of paintings peeps into our hearts and attempts to trace out certain events through particular forms that are part and parcel of our life. He succeeded in the attempt as he received a huge response from the art lovers. In the end, he clarifies that he never thinks of the gains of his artistic skills but often thinks out about his own contribution to this field of work and what he further intends to give out.

MANI NARAYAN
Path to Nirvana (Acrylic-24”X36”) By Mani Narayan
Man's infinite quest for Nirvana can be as simple or as complicated as one makes it. The lotus painted in a very raw and organic form is an abstract representation of Nirvana itself.

INDU PRAKASH
Gossip (Oil-24”X24”) By-Indu Prakash
Gossip represents a modern form of thought process that runs with many arguments and often ends with many other thoughts of other worldly subjects but reach no conclusion. Although there are always points that help understand and lead the thought process. The color vibrancy is used as to depict character of painting. Artist Journey: Indu Prakash My journey to art is inspired by my father who has always encouraged me towards art, especially for the contemporary fine art. Another side of my art is developed by my guide and senior artist Lokendra Kumar.
I started working in the field to art since 1998. I started working on sculptures under good guidance of senior sculptors of Delhi and Mumbai. My paintings and bronze sculptures are appreciated and sold in my exhibitions India, Japan, Dubai and Oman. My passion for art gave me a new definition of life with understanding the meaning of achievement and struggle. I am on my path to enhance my abilities to express my rhythm of life in artful manner. The art-lovers have liked my work and encouraged me to do more. My present series of paintings are of modern and abstract styles. The basic concept developed in these paintings in related to life in different forms of faith, rituals, earthen colors and annotations of theme. My journey towards art first began in my childhood after observing the various art forms composed by my father, who served as an inspiration and a role model. My art steadily refined in the forthcoming years and in 1998, another aspect of to my art gradually emerged in presence of my senior artist and guide, Lokendra Kumar. At around the same period, while experimenting with many different art forms, my passion for forming Bronze sculptures slowly grew and became part of my life. Sculpting elements of life with various metals seemed to have gained and added depth in my appreciation for art. Over the coming years, as I mastered this fervor of metal sculpting along with abstract paintings, I was presented with several opportunities to exhibit my art internationally. The enthusiasm and appreciation I received from art lovers has encouraged me to continue upon this path of artfully expressing the facets of life through abstract and colorful depictions.
