Echoing A Silent Quest
On the occasion of the birth anniversary of its founder Faiz Ahmad, Shilpangan Gallery is hosting the first solo exhibition of young artist AH Dhali Tomal. The show is being held from 1-14th May.
The alchemic charm and the delving into the uniqueness of the land are like a big screen movie to the visual artist AH Dhali Tomal, where play and observation create a religious contemplation of within and without. The vast space slowly becomes his personal space as he subtracts certain fragments through his own metaphors of existing plates of witnessing.
The mental space that he comprehends into his matrix is ethereal spaces of his psychic pouring and merges with his world within. There is a strange loneliness embodied in objectives and subtonic detail of elements, as vibrations of sounds echoing a dramatic quest. In this land space visual, he uses a structural being as the heroic adventurer and physical emancipator for his storytelling -- the goat. The goat is an identity depicting the friendliness, tenderness and one who possess a strangely lost feeling of an unexplained absurdity and mystery. It gazes through the surface as the land's most dedicated messenger.
The goat as the dominant structure portrays its identity as introspective renderings engaging in various modes of depiction, that interacts the artist's very own subjective sensations. There is absorption of characters as conceiving the elements within, as the motif of goat possess the elements of the landscape, to feel its way to stimulate the conception of mother earth. Then again, it expresses its own existential presence with psychic embarkations. The elongation of the motif and marks of various intensity of lines with dark backgrounds and white light, creates a chiaroscuro dream pulsating a forbidden understanding, which is a clandestine amplified territory of the artist's vision.
