ART-WORKS REFLECTING A VERY RARE SYNAESTHETIC EXPERIENCE

___________________________________________________________________________

Prasanta, an introvert, somewhat preoccupied young artist is unassuming in appearance. His gesture was humble but confident. His eyes sparkled through the lens when he spoke passionately about his experiences, related to the present creative process.

At the first glance his art-works appears to be simple and direct representational  photographs with minimal alteration and manipulation of the original image. When I went on looking at the images attested with the contextual texts, I found that the artist infused a special meaning befitting to his interpretation and we might judge the same as creative images. Here the semantic horizon embraced the structure of experiences  and provoked the viewers to feel the other world.

The subjectivity of such art-form is neither reducible to that of the artist nor to that of the viewers .The artist has very humbly denounced the conservative idea of medium specificity and shows a transgression of the boundaries of traditional art genres .His art stands in opposition  to the ‘feel-good treatise of ‘corporate-art’. He has honestly put forward his holistic experience of the visual and other synaesthetic sensory stimuli. The experience of these visual images unequivocally was paired with some olfactory hallucinatory sensation of smell.
