- SWEETNESS AND LIGHT
The history of art in our times can be viewed as a pendulum swinging between the urge to copy and the urge to invent. It is obvious that we are now far removed from the former .Instead of relating to external facts, visible for all to see, artists today prefer to retreat inwards and conduct a specialized dialogue with each other, commenting not on their attitudes to reality, but on their relation to art itself. Hence the somewhat reclusive nature of present day works, which err by chasing the swing of the pendulum with zeal – total abstraction, for instance. Thereby failing to realize that though their efforts are of interest, they are limited to a small number of the community. Of course, excessive naturalism is equally limiting. On all evidence B.M. Arya (as some others) is trying to steer clear of excess either way. Images or texts from the past revisit the painter’s otherwise contemporary idiom. The past, in especial that which by the processes of refining has been turned into the eloquence of art, is the counter-point to his own art. Thus he is able to carry along with him the reality of a benignant cultural tradition.
So the painter reconciles the dual attractions of art and reality with skill. He cannot therefore be accused of replacing the poetry of invention with the prose of fact. In this way his work is a bridge between worlds.
To elaborate the above a fraction more, Arya’s work vacillates between the earlier art of affect, and that of the exactitudes of the physical eye, such as the academics represented. This distinction may well be expressed in terms of
what may be called the subjective or objective artistic intellect. The ‘objective’ intellect being one which is eminently impersonal, and the ‘subjective’, equally personal. The former disengaging itself as much as possible from its own prepossessions and striving to represent objects as they exist; the other viewing all objects in the light of feelings and preconceptions. Of course, it is needless to add that no artistic mind can be exclusively ‘objective’, nor exclusively ‘subjective’.
But every mind and every culture has a more or less tendency in these directions. Arya so far as one can see, works his way from an idea downwards, proceeds deductively, starting from some ideal conceptions, and seeking in realities visible illustrations of time-tested existences. Well, this is one way of approaching his work.
I would not want to bear on the various artistic strategies he has used to realize his vision. Suffice to say that he has a mastery of art craft. The range of images that he introduces in each of his works is impressive. He brings Indian artistic history to our doorsteps, but only as experience. Here, in other words, is a corpus of work, which even as it may charm the eye, equally provides a local cultural anchor. Why joy? Why of course, and yet such is not merely decorative delight. Flutes, flying kites, personages, maidens dancing in their gestures, and much else besides, offer a profile of a wholesome once living life attitude. It covers a wide range of culture, inner and outer. Via the genre, we certainly become conscious as to how life can be at once
sweet and subtle. Arya expresses the same with objectively. In this way he is not merely expressing a narrow self, but attempting Indian culture in its ideal aspects. I believe an idiom, such as his, has uses. The works’ value should grow, given the artist’s critical discipline brought to a still higher point of keenness.

The Fuschia Tree said… - Hello Brajmohan!
Hope you are doing well ! and Greetings from The Fuschia Tree ! We are an Art Gallery based in Hong Kong and New Delhi . The Fuschia Tree has about 500 artists from 24 countries registered on its website.
We’ve established an honest platform for artists to show their works and are proud to announce the launch of our new art initiative called "The Fuschia Futures". This project aims to give an opportunity to emerging artists who have not showcased their works earlier and are in search of fantastic exposure. The Fuschia Futures is therefore an ideal place for young, emerging, revolutionary artists working across various mediums such as sculpture, painting, video, installation art, and photography. We therefore invite all artists out there to send us their work and our panel of curators shall select the best amongst the best to be a part of The Fuschia Futures.
