It takes braveness, devotion, and an instinctive understanding of the human situation to carve vulnerability into black marble or paint evocative symbolism onto canvas. Parmod Mann does it with grace and his artworks hang-out and heal on the similar time.
Inside Triveni Kala Sangam, the place Mann’s sculptures of three many years are on show, his works transcend the visible attraction. The items unfold like a reminiscence, like an ache that one has felt however by no means been in a position to title. His artwork is arresting because it permits the viewer to submerge in an exquisite world of marbles that breathe. Through, free-flowing strokes that really feel without delay spontaneous and deeply meditative, Mann chisels the gleaming black marble to craft tender, uncooked and enigmatic femininity.

Female to the fore
The exhibition, titled Contours of the Soul, showcases not simply type, however the agony of stone being chiselled to life. Most of his works revolve across the feminine type. Mann says, each contour, bend, and curve reveals to him a brand new layer of soulful resilience, longing, tenderness, silent agony and a rage unfolding. His instinct leads him to creating such masterful items.
“It all comes directly from the heart,” he says. His vivid creativeness blends with intuition, giving rise to varieties which might be uniquely uncooked, unfiltered, and deeply felt. The symmetry, the finesse, and even the right ruggedness stand out.
These should not simply sculptures; they really feel like expressions — silently revolting with an unsettling calm. The expressions within the sculptures have an emotional resonance and shift with lighting and perspective.

Interestingly, there are not any titles and descriptions accompanying his works. And that’s the level Mann tries to make. “I do not want to bind the viewer with my interpretations,” he says. “The viewer should be free to feel, find, and understand what a piece of art is conveying. The choice to do so makes art personal and liberating,” he provides.
The exhibition by Art Pilgrim options 30 of Mann’s sculptures from 1989.
