Exploring the blend of modernism with traditional art forms

 

One of the most attractive features of contemporary art is its capability to create a mix of modernist approach with several kinds of traditional and folk art forms. When it comes to artists in India, this mix can be observed in the artworks of many. One such artist who can be mentioned in this regard is Jamini Roy. By many, he is considered one of the pioneers of Indian contemporary art with his blend of many traditional and folk art forms with an approach to modernism. Any reputed art gallery in any other part of the country always keeps a collection of Jamini Roy paintings for art lovers to understand his work and appreciate those from the heart, and add to their collection.

Revival of Folk Art

Over time, we have seen that many folk art forms that existed in India have gone extinct. These works of art experienced a revival with the artworks of contemporary Indian artists. To give an example, many Jamini Roy paintings depicted different forms of gods and goddesses that are worshipped in the Indian culture and had a strong touch of modernism. It can be seen through the confident and bold brush strokes done by the artist that give these paintings a contemporary touch, keeping the aura the same as before. 

Acceptance from the Society

With the growth of such artworks, it was understood that art lovers in India and across the world have grown a deep appreciation for them. Any popular Saket art gallery, or in any other region of the country, always keeps a wide collection of such artworks so that people can come and admire them. They are also part of the personal collections of renowned art lovers across the world. In this regard, it is worth mentioning that many artists have also blended modernism with many Western traditional art forms.

In Conclusion

We can understand from the above discussion that a lot of contemporary art is nothing but a unique fusion of different art forms. A Saket art gallery, or other art galleries in the country, are constantly making efforts to increase the collection of such artwork and attract more art lovers.
