Art Alive Gallery brings to you Jayasri Burman: The Whisper of Water, The Song of Stars, a solo show of the renowned artist. The exhibition invites one to an immersive journey in her enchanting universe exploring the cosmic connection of stars and water bodies, the harmony of colours, and the expanse of mystical landscapes. Jayasri Burman's artistic odyssey is a testament to her deep connection with tradition, retold through a modern perspective that echoes the concerns of today, weaving together the colourful threads of ancient mythology, the alluring glory of nature, and the unyielding power of women. Moving beyond mere imitation of the mythologies, Jayasri infuses these age-old tales with her own personal experiences and the exploding desires of the unconscious from a contemporary perspective. Jayasri’s artworks express her mastery of various artistic techniques, and her vivid paintings, with their subtle colour gradations and intricate lines, evoke a sense of depth and volume. In this body of work, combining cowries and shells, Jayasri Burman enhances rich cultural associations adding depth, texture, and figurative meaning to her work, connecting it to ancient traditions and cultural practices. The use of shells and cowries can be seen as a way of celebrating the beauty and diversity of the natural world. For Jayasri, these objects are not decorative elements but symbols of the ocean, life, and cultural heritage. The surface of her paintings exude warmth, earthiness, and tranquility, forging a sense of connection to the natural world through the representation of ambiguous landscapes. Representing an aesthetic shift from the earlier figurative works, this body of work presents a new direction of her visual language. The title, “The Whisper of Water, the Song of Stars,” captivates the mysterious nature of her works and the universes she conjures. “The notable shift in my visual language is a result of my journey with spirituality and bhakti. The impressions that I have carried within myself since childhood have taken shape in my works; through the motif of shells and cowries evident in my recent works, I wished to explore the subtle nuances of the unconscious while remaining true to contemporary issues.”
