“Fantastic Realities and Beyond” tries to capture the elements of fantasy beyond the modernist tenets of surrealism by infusing postmodern, futuristic ideas to oriental story telling.
Beginning from early 20th century miniature, Indian modernist twist on fantasy to contemporary augmented reality, the exhibition unravels a wide spectrum of art from across India. The figurative, gradually transcends to the subliminal abstract; borders dissolve and contemporary existential dilemmas, questions and crises take over.
It points towards a profound psychological dilemma of the contemporary world in general and a search and questioning emanating from that; with irony, humour and occasionally, utter shock!
Fantastic realities is also about aesthetics, imagination and making of art ; asking the age old question of where Art making stops and imagination takes over.
Seminal works by over 50 artists (both celebrated , young and anonymous covering 12 decades )from across India, including a musical excerpt from Satyajit Ray’s famous comedy, Goopie Gyan Bagha Byne (based on the original story by his famous grandfather, Upendra Kishore Ray ) have been included to provide a holistic overview.
