Sanjiv has been working on the traditional aspect of rural and urban India in his paintings and sculptures for an extensive time. Wherein he has to add complementing predicates like flora and fauna in conjunction with the human figures to rationalize the subject. Somewhere in his mind since 2009, he has been envisaging a human figure as the beauty of nature and its honourable attributes to become a true art form with its originality, when he received an opportunity with a group of artists to work on a live nude model of a woman in Kelowna, Canada at an art studio. There he actually learned how a body gets transformed into various forms with various positions and studied it through his works. Thereafter, his earnest wishes to capture the beauty of human figures on canvas and showcase it before the world was prolonged in his mind due to societal constraints that restrained him from creating them.

The year 2011 gifted him a visit to Henrie Moore’s Perry Green, UK to spend time with his Reclining figure, King & Queen, and others. In 2016, he was honored to see closely and was swayed by the works of Fauvism of Matisse, Age of Bronze, The Kiss, Thinker by Rodin, and contoured turmoil expressions of posthumously Van Gogh on his tour to The Netherlands, Schengen Countries, and to France. About whom he had just been reading and virtually seeing but this live emotional experience was a complete academy for him to treasure for a lifetime. Later, in 2019, his tour to South Korea for Busan International Art Fair became a booster for him to review on contemporary art practices of a few really phenomenal artists who participated in the event. This widened his horizons of creativity.

Moreover, in 2020 the huge adjournment of the pandemic left him in solitude to think and re-think human life. The turmoil and sorrow widespread everywhere on the globe led him to open up, through his canvases of frazzled human figures. He kept them bare because he believes the body cannot emote completely if it is cloaked with a cloth. The non-verbal language of the body is its formation that takes place due to emblematic movements. His philosophy has a few points, while making sculptures, he first sculpts the anatomy of the bare body, and then it gets draped. Again, flora and fauna are not masked with any fabric in an artwork. Then why do we do injustice to the human body that co-exists with other fragments of nature? Why it is not looked at as nature and then painted as it is? Why is nudity imposed with desire? The eternal fact is that we do not robe the human body but factually we robe the freedom of expression, and liberty of breathing peacefully like nature. I feel the language of the body of any creature is very beautiful, communicative and characterized by age, sentiment, stimulus, and response. Hunger, anger, love, hatred, bliss, agony, agreement, disagreement, relaxation, fatigue, health, ailment, gratitude, amazement, intrigue, and fascination are a few fasciae of human body language and they transform the human body into different silhouettes.

Subsequently, all these blends of envisioning, study, research and psychotic disturbance of the pandemic, he has discovered his untitled aspiration in his evolved artworks that have steered to the culmination of Sanjiv’s art career. Looking at his works I noticed the fruitful utilization of his zeal to meet the apex of modern aesthetic decorum. The icons of his works are the classic contrapposto. The relaxed disposition of the body gives a lively curve in both sculptures and paintings. Magnificent usage of colour divergence in painting and positive-negative space in sculptures creates a heightened emotional intensity, a chiaroscuro. The scribbled texture on the body relates to the havoc of the pandemic on human lives. He has created an illusion by blur colours to syndicate with mistiness which reminds somewhat of the Sfumato technique of the renaissance era. His sculptures are allegories that are coherent human stories striking their viewers covertly. As mentioned earlier his subjects are humans from all chapters of life like teenagers looking self-absorbed in their changing graceful bodies, solicitous oldies, either anticipative or stuck middle-aged human. Also, human figures are symbolizing strength, love, liberty, bliss, compassion, sympathy, pain etc. Crisply all are divulging the beauty of forms.

There is a lot more astonishment in learning, liking, and revealing the body postures from Sanjiv’s artworks. Modern aesthetic philosophy is to be experienced in his works to unfold his creative process of how he sees, hears, imagines, thinks and acts on human life. They are ambiguous in nature, no doubt. The delicacy of his artwork beholds one’s taste. It is not necessary to sense all ingredients in an oeuvre but there is one such mystic secret element that touches our heart softly, do feel it. I appeal to you to enjoy his show with a sunnier heart and lock the vision of the beauty of nature in your eyes and heart. So, here is Sanjiv’s magnum opus to treasure in the history of art, eternally…
