T I R A N G A - Tri Colored Strokes to "Indian Patriotism" Humanistic & Creative, exhibition of artworks by more than 100 eminent artists from all over India who have shown their endless passion for Mother India and have spread their vivid thoughts in Tri Colors. TIRANGA, a term denoting the three colors of the Indian flag, has been of special significance to the nation. Chosen for its special symbolism, where the saffron was linked to sacrifice, the white to peace and the green to prosperity, the Tiranga played a key role in inspiring people during our freedom struggle. Today, in addition, it has become a symbol of unity for all Indians - Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Christians, Dalits and others, who stand united as one nation under the Tiranga. In the current exhibition artists have accomplished in their recent works, a gamut of tri-color strokes to salute Indian patriotism. The title of this exhibition - TIRANGA - represents the participating artists' visionary understanding of this terminology. They express their individual sensitivities and reactions through a myriad moods and colors. Together, these creations become the voice of a free India, a way of life for which the freedom struggle was waged. It also provides viewers of the exhibition an insight into the shades of interpretation of the twin message of unity and social relevance that the colors communicate. In this context it would not be out of place to examine and recall every arrangement within the space of the Tiranga, originally chosen with extreme care and contemplation. The charkha at its heart incorporated the dreams generated by freedom and the dynamics of both peace and battle. Today, its movement suggests that a creative India is moving this charkha of progress in both a rural and urban and format. Mother India weaves the threads of unity into a fabric, strengthening the ground for future progress, becoming thereby the force behind our ongoing resurgence. The three color bands of the Tiranga once conceived as pillars of our Indian freedom struggle now form the stabilizing factor of national unity overriding considerations of time and history. It envisages the idea of permanence born on the bedrock of unity amidst diversity a unity that perpetuates permanence, come what may. Ranging from the pictorial to the somber, the works incorporate an in-depth accountability of the term Tiranga, in the current context. Several of the exhibits have used kites and reels as their chosen symbol to express their understanding of freedom. Others have dealt with the more painful aspects of this event, namely the rifts created by partition and the scars it left behind, generating thereby negative and fearful forces, in depictions of terrorism. But these forces have been negated by the overwhelming presence of peace in the form of a peaceful Buddha visage, a message of hope within extensive but temporary turmoil. Events such as a nation's freedom are bound to have a bearing on the impressionistic side of the artist. Like Bhishma of the Mahabharata they remain transfixed by a determination to accomplish their goal of making patriotic fervor an artistic statement. The 'TIRANGA', on show at Art Mall therefore, is a new and relevant interpretation of 'TIRANGA' as the true symbol of our freedom. Naren Bhiku Ram Jain of Art Mall, as organiser of the show, was happy that this show has come about through the cooperation and support that it has received from the artist fraternity at large. The creative interpretations of independent message of more than 120 artists, in a gamut of symbolic images, are a mirror held up to the achievements of modern India. The past too, comes into focus through many-faceted colorations used to depict the concept. Such a unique statement has made the show a unique art statement on the map of contemporary Indo British Art.
