Prashant Salvi
India
The strange and unique way of juxtaposition of images in the works of Prashant Salvi is intentional. The subjectivity of his works is fully loaded with the tension and uncertainty of modern man who is thrown in to a socio-political environment which is ever changing and challenging. His mixed media compositions vibrate with a dramatic tension filled with unpredictable explosion of emotions and happenings.

    Commentary

  • My work explores the relationship between pre-Raphaelite tenets and unwanted gifts. With influences as diverse as Camus and Andy Warhol, new synergies are manufactured from both mundane and transcendent structures. Ever since I was a postgraduate I have been fascinated by the theoretical limits of the human condition. What starts out as vision soon becomes finessed into a tragedy of power, leaving only a sense of dread and the unlikelihood of a new synthesis. As temporal replicas become transformed through diligent and diverse practice, the viewer is left with a new agenda of the limits of our condition. Through my work I attempt to examine the phenomenon of history as a metaphorical interpretation of both Sigmar Polke and data mining. What began as a personal journey of orthodoxy has translated into images of narrative that resonate with cultured people to question their own connection to the archive. My mixed-media kleptomania embodies an idiosyncratic view of tension, yet the familiar imagery allows for a connection between socio-political magazines, and modern values.
