Open House at The StudioVerve Artist Residency : Showcasing Scupltures and Installations By Ritesh Meshram

Viewing of Installations and Sculptures

By

Ritesh Meshram

Artist in Residence from Mumbai, India

The exhibition titled titled ‘Woodpecker @ plot # C /12’ is an exploration of space in the natural surrounding quite different from Mumbai where he lives and works.
His works now takes a turn to a newer fresh perspective quite different from his earlier work that focused on mechanisms. This series incorporates the surrounding nature as an important component of his work. We are a part of nature yet so separated from it.
his work ‘woodpecker and four corners of the glass’ attempts to diverge from his previous work and reflects what his experience here has been. He awoke on the first day to the sound of a woodpecker outside his window, a bird he encountered so closely for the first time he was fascinated also by the preciseness of the round hole that the bird had pecked away at the wood to create a hollow for it’s home.

The installations and sculptures. by Ritesh meshram give us an opportunity to delve into his understanding of subject and unique methodology: to view an object,to dream up its use, to deliberately place them a certain way. There is no one single way to interpret his what his work is.. it does entice all who look and creates a desire to interact with and think of possibilities.
It is interesting to see the choice of technique and works in relation to each other. The subject matter often gets attention, here the material is as important.
