Mayank Shyam
Son of Jangarh Singh Shyam, Mayank’s works bridge the traditional and the modern. The artist is known to depict contemporary issues and urban landscapes in compositions that also often feature geometric forms. In the exhibition, he depicts numerous modes of modern transportation, from a train chugging to an airplane in a cloudy sky. “My father wanted me to paint my own thoughts. I depict our traditional tales but also try to address present-day concerns through them,” says 32-year-old Mayank.
He also turns to more traditional narratives in some of his works. If the acrylic Jeevan Ki Aas has mermaids revelling in the rains, in the work Devroopi Vriskha he paints an ancient ritual where those who went to the forest to cut wood for cooking would pray to the trees to give them good wood and save them from wild animals.
