NATURALNESS An Exhibition Of Recent Works By Artist Ramdas Manikrao Thorat In Jehangir...

From: 17^th to 23^rd December 2024

“NATURALNESS”

An Exhibition of Recent works by well-known artist Ramdas Manikrao Thorat

VENUE:

Jehangir Art Gallery

161-B, M.G. Road,

Kala Ghoda, Mumbai 400 001

Timing: 11am to 7pm

Contact: +91 8082050330

This show was inaugurated on 17th December 2024 by Parents of artist Ramdas Thorat in the presence of Hansodnya Tambe, Aashutosh Aapte, Mangesh Naik, Pradip Palav, Ashok Hinge, Nilesh Jadhav among others.

Art, time, and eternity are impersonal, awakened, conscious, and unique. They are the eternal manifestations of the ever-existing conscious Nature, whose inner and outer forces pervade all existence. The experiences born out of these natural forces are what we call art and life. When a painter contemplates through a visual medium, they transcribe their mental impressions into pictorial narratives or translate their thoughts into visual forms. In this process, the painter captures the invisible language of visual consciousness, imprinting it in the form of pictorial imagery. This act of transforming primal human experiences into visual forms, inspired by naturalness, is known as ‘visual-form paintings’ or ‘pictorial essence of vision.’

The ongoing interplay of space, sky, earth, water, and soil reflects the dynamic process of this eternal primordial nature, whose inherent power takes on various forms. This dynamic manifestation is what we perceive as ‘Chitramaya’ (illusory imagery) or ‘Chittamaya’ (illusory consciousness). Each painting embodies the unique attributes of this illusory essence, rendering a distinctive artistic character.

Nature’s light, shadow, twilight, darkness, warmth, coolness, solitude, fire, flame, density, sparsity, thick forests, lush meadows, gardens, ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, seas, oceans, homes, villages, cities, streets, marketplaces—all these myriad attributes of natural existence contribute to the visual-textural symphony of form, tone, and rhythm. This synthesis of qualities is evident in Ramdas’s artistic oeuvre, reflecting the convergence of tangible and intangible qualities.

A visual artist channels the shadows of this eternal, conscious Nature into their mind, responding to its impressions and projecting them outward in visual form. This process, where mental experiences are translated into physical expression, is what we call the “experience of artistic time” or “the era of art.” It is the conscious repetition of impressions imprinted on the human psyche by the external world. This deliberate act of creation is what we define as “artistic genesis.”

The texture, structure, spatial voids, and depth on Ramdas’s canvases actively contribute to the viewer’s perception of the artwork. His creations exist in an imaginative world where tangible nature and abstraction dissolve into a unified, cosmic resonance. This resonance expresses emotional and sensory capacities, evoking deep responses in the observer. Ramdas journeys from the vast expanse of the physical to the infinite subtleties of the metaphysical, showcasing the dynamic interplay of visible expression and ongoing exploration. His art embodies the release of accumulated potential, akin to the release of water from an overflowing dam.

In Ramdas’s works, there is a seamless blend of abstract sensibilities and tangible representations, making it difficult to measure his creations against traditional standards of naturalistic art or to quantify the value of abstraction. Instead, his art seeks a middle ground, uncovering the essence of visual perception through tonal harmony, textures, structure, and light.

His visual compositions, enriched by organic forms and patterns, depict landscapes resembling vast gardens or boundless carpets of infinite nature. The horizontal elements in his art evoke tranquility, while the interplay of the skies, waters, and earthy tones—textured and rugged—convey a profound connection to the primal landscape. The velvety greens, subtle hues, and tactile depth come together to create an immersive sensory experience, transporting viewers to a state of cosmic sensitivity. This transcendent moment, akin to an axis or pivotal instant, unfolds through Ramdas’s artistic vision, leaving the viewer profoundly affected.

Ramdas’s artwork is a testament to the unique fusion of abstraction and tangible representation, where neither naturalistic depiction nor pure abstraction dominates. Instead, his art bridges these extremes, presenting a chromatic, textured exploration of the sensory world, rendered in visual notes.

His compositions, with their organic shapes and intricate patterns, often evoke vast, limitless natural landscapes. The tranquil horizontality, the earthen textures of the soil, the layered tones of vegetation, and the juxtaposition of light and shadow create a harmonious visual symphony. These elements, combined with the emotional and cosmic resonance of the art, allow viewers to connect deeply with the work, experiencing it as a dynamic interplay of nature’s infinite forms and human creativity.

MET Institute Of Management, Mumbai Wins Big At Smart India Hackathon 2024...

– MET Students Won a 36-hour Coding Hackathon

– SIH 2024 Witnessed 49,000+ Teams on the National Level

– PM Narendra Modi also interacted with the Finalists

Mumbai, December 18, 2024 : The MET Institute of Management (MET IOM), Mumbai redefined the spirit of innovation and problem-solving as they won the Smart India Hackathon (SIH) 2024 and triumphed in the Grand Finale of the coveted innovation tournament. The Finale of the Software Edition was hosted at Belagavi, Karnataka with 26 participating teams on December 11 and 12, in which Team ‘Manthan 1 ’, Master of Management Studies (MMS) students from MET IOM, Mumbai emerged victorious competing in a 36-hour coding Hackathon.

For the unversed, SIH is a premier nationwide initiative designed to engage students in solving some of the most pressing challenges faced in everyday life and provides a dynamic platform for students to develop and showcase their creative solutions to real-world problems.

The hackathon also aims to bridge the gap between academic knowledge and practical application by encouraging students to think critically and innovatively. The MET IOM team (Manthan 1) successfully tackled a challenging problem statement from the Ministry of Law and Justice. Their solution focused on simplifying and gamifying the learning process for key aspects of the Indian Constitution, including the Preamble, Fundamental Rights (Part 3), Directive Principles of State Policy (Part 4), and Fundamental Duties (Part 4A). The innovative platform they developed gears toward to make constitutional literacy engaging and accessible to citizens.

The team developed innovative solutions, creating two main games and four mini-games to make learning engaging and impactful. The main games, Samvidhan Manthan, a 3D role-playing game with immersive storytelling, and Samvidhan Mandal, a digital board game exploring concepts of law, rights, and imprisonment, captivated the judges. The mini-games, including Shasn, a monopoly-style game on constitutional concepts; Snakes & Ladders (Beginner) and Snakes & Ladders (Advanced), featuring MCQs of varying difficulty levels; and Samvidhan Explorer, a 2D animated game, provided a creative and interactive learning experience.

The Chairman of Mumbai Educational Trust, Mr. Chhagan Bhujbal, honored the team for their innovative contributions to education and technology. During the felicitation ceremony held at MET Mumbai, Mr. Bhujbal applauded the team for their creativity and commitment, highlighting their transformative approach to technology-driven learning.

“The students’ efforts resonate with MET’s mission to nurture innovation and academic excellence. This remarkable victory highlights MET Institute of Management’s commitment to fostering creativity, critical thinking, and real-world problem-solving among its students,” he said.

The team’s journey through the competition involved three rigorous rounds of evaluation– the first being the assessment of the originality of their idea, research, and progress in game development. The second round focused on improvements made based on judges’ feedback while the final round evaluated the market readiness and scalability of their solution. The innovative solutions created by the MET team not only addressed the problem statement but also showcased the transformative potential of gamification in learning.

Prime Minister Shri. Narendra Modi interacted with all young innovators at the SIH via video conferencing. Addressing the gathering on the occasion, he said that the India of today can progress at a fast pace with ‘sabka prayas’ or everyone’s effort and that the occasion was a prime example of the same.

The MET Mumbai team included Yash Parmar, Vidisha Ghosh, Anish Kumar Singh, and Om Khattar (MMS 2023-25), along with Vivek Pawar and Manas Jadhav (MMS 2024-26), under the mentorship of Dr. Manmeet Barve, Associate Professor, MET IOM, and Mr. Shailesh Sargade, Assistant Professor, MET IOM, that became one of the top five finalists. The team also received invaluable support and direction from Dr. Swati Lodha, Director, MET IOM, whose visionary leadership played a pivotal role in their success.

In the SIH 2024 edition, the tournament witnessed 86,000+ Teams’ participation at the institute level and 49,000+ student teams were recommended for the national round to solve 254 problem statements.
