Moments…a solo photo-art exhibition by Kabeer Ramesh at the Jehangir Art Gallery from 16-22 April 202
Photo artist Kabeer Ramesh comes with one more solo exhibition of his photographs at the prestigious Jehangir Art Gallery. His previous exhibitions were ‘Frozen in Times’, (Jehangir, 2023); ‘Every Picture has a Story’ (Niyta Art Gallery); and ‘Enduring Imprints’ (Nehru Centre). The ‘Moments’, as he titles the present exhibition, captures his creative moments, depicting a variety of subjects drawn from broad experiences resulting from travels to European museums, landscapes and other locations. This attempt at memorializing the monumental achievements of humanity, inscribed in stone, depicts human resolve in achieving the unachievable: the London Bridge and the skyscrapers, among others; at the same time, the melancholy and enigma of bondage and yearning for freedom are present in his photos of statues.
Thus, Kabeer’s photo art offers sensitive explorations into the complex human condition: a deep yearning for freedom and unavoidable bondage. Some of his works are presented in the black and white scheme: the Taj Mahal, the London Bridge, the dilapidated urban habitat, and the harsh conditions of life. This offers both an archaic presence and its fleeting, fading passage.
Kabeer is fascinated with the many shades and moods of the sky. The sky at different times of the day and night presents multiple possibilities; even the darkness, that is the absence, offers glimpses of potential. Portraits in Kabeer’s work of people from everyday walks of life present many orientations to the given: some present deep anguish, while others show contentment even amidst the uncertain. Kabeer’s work offers many ways of seeing and visualizing. Ends GNI
