V.V. Ramana “Kiran”

* I began my art carrier with opening an children art school with the aim to infuse artistic sense of colours within the mind of children for 10 years.I established several art istituions namely "Apna School"(4/10/2000 to 3/7/2008),"Swami Shardanand Gyan Mandir(4/7/2008 to 30/3/2010)," Rang sansar"(in 2004 to 2008); in the mean time I have started Publishing "JungleBook"Monthly magazine whic has helped the state & public to generate awareness regarding Forests, Art & Culture and also founded jungle book club where I organized Painting compettition on the eve of World Environment Day in 2009. I had also organized a seminar on Waste Management in the press Club of Bilaspur in may 2009.I had also organized the seminar on wild life in the Press club of Bilaspur in june 2009.I had founded The :"Tulika Art Society" in 9/8/1996.Various art compettitions/seminars and art exhibition were organized.Tulika Samvad an art news paper were stared(6/7/1996). An Art exhibition comprising 23 countries children's art display was successfully organized under Tulika Art Society(in9/5/ 2007).In "Kilkari" exhibition 12 nation children's paintigs/artwork participated(in 17,18-3-2004).In 25/4/2012 I have also arranged doll's marriage ceremony in the eve of "Akshay Tritiya" (24/4/2012)to conserve and revive our cultural tradition.A Lost New Art World" was founded by me where the termite wood art work was created (1996 to till date) and continued.An Art Gallery named "RamnaArt Gallery" was founded by me where al the best art & craft work is displayedwhich has created awrenes in the field of Art & culture.My solo exhibitions are mentioned as under.a BOOK (Poetry)"Marm ka Anveshan"published in 2010.
* I am the pioneer of art called " Collage" in undivided MP/ chhattisgarh.(1993-2000).
* Most of my paintins expressed emotions using intense & complex color combination & are inspired by the natural world using a softener & more serene palette.I worked to bring out the beauty of Nature on my canvas through some revolutionary colour & realistic composition with hue of earthy tons all over my canvas. My most of the work emphasized the natural vibrancy & rich colour of the area & some infusionin black & white also with tranquil & mysterious beauty.Struggle for Existence “, provokes insights of viewers, to retrospect the current social happenings in the society. Beautifully stroked expressions certainly feeds & satisfies the inquisitive minds and alluring prospective thoughts which has long lasting effects of these master pieces. Each one is creating its own genre of imagination. Not a single piece can go unnoticed & unrecognized. They simply live and cautioned us against all oddities of the society. We the people living in the societies usually having unclean bodies which can not hold a clean mind and most irresponsibly & indiscriminately polluting our environment. But do we ever try to introspect what makes us indulge in such sinful acts? Artist observes & expresses his concerns through his art work, the forthcoming disasters likely to face our society which may bring us to the verge of extinction and turn into unacknowledged regrets & obscure sorrows hidden underneath us. It is the time when we equally treat our nature as our loving & caring mother. There are plausible corrective measures readily shown with the art work i.e. by changing their attitude. Perhaps that would be the most effective way to embark on such a mammoth discourse & save the humanity as a whole. Thus, there is an urgency to conserve our social & natural values in our communities. The thoughtful question again remains as such “Who will stop whom?” from current deterioration & protect us from the catastrophe
.my most of the abstract art work is based on our deteriorating natural and social environment which has detrimental effect on the catastrophes of socio-economic perspectives of our societies where we live in.Consequently I have tried to depict its correlation to our overall development and generate awareness to conserve it and handle rationally to maintain the "homeostasis".
Among my major creations like- in "Tsunami"(series of paintings showing disasters(both man made & natural) which develops by and by from its juvenile to its older stages, ultimately wipes out lives without sparing extra time to save our selves;shown in slow motion in paintings and again its regeneration gradually from ground zero level). In present exhibition the them was "The struggle for existence" the creations are made in black and white, which shows the absence of color from our peaceful life.It also speaks out, if our sinful acts are not controlled we (as our society) will be ruined soon and end up to our paleolithic stone age. Thus color & values (human) are two most significant factors which demands its need to protection.Th most of the expressions made on the topics are focused to 'physical pollution' like (destructible and non-recyclable hazardous wastes)and the"psychological pollution'(in the form of social abuses and crimes committed) which are ruining our values like termites in nature and compelling us to imagine halluvian dreams in the futuristic aftermath in our own real world.These paintings are the pre indications of our forthcoming disasters would be happening in our environment with turn into unacknowledged regrets & obscure sorrows hidden underneath.Most of the paintings are made with the rhythms of of life forms show the urgency of its conservation.All art work is highlighting the nature as our supreme & universal caring mother who needs our beloved attention(selfless)which is only possible by changing our so called negative "attitude".Perhaps this would be the most effective way to embark on such a mammoth task & save the humanity from the verge of extinction.The overall balance of nature disturbs with our greed & over exploitation which leads into irreparable extent. Nature punishes us for our wrongdoings in the form of calamities like- Uttarakhand landslides, Lattoor earthquake, Tsunami & so on.Now it is time to learn lessons from it and to rebuild it.It is a Herculean task can not be done individually but with consorted efforts collectively and save our mother nature from its further deterioration.
