ARTIST STATEMENT - DIVYENDU ANAND
Divyendu Anand - India, Noida (Delhi NCR)
The human mind is mysterious and abstract; something finite cannot quench its thirst. Consequently, knowingly and unknowingly it seeks for something transcendental, beyond the world of senses. This quest to ‘know the unknown’ forms the very basis of my creative endeavour. In order to achieve this daunting task, I experiment with the science of aesthetics to establish the link between finite and infinite- in the realm of idea as well as form. Hence, my works are imbued with exoteric yet esoteric sensibilities that seamlessly links ephemeral to eternal. I want to create artworks that are not just sensually pleasing, but even more, are source of transcendence or higher knowledge and being. To me the final material is immaterial as long as the form does its job of evoking sense of freedom and bliss.
