Malchand Pareek at Indian Art Circle

Write up

I am an artist, with vernacular upbringing. While acquiring a sense of worldview only to an extent that a small city such as  Bikaner could impart; it still is secluded and holds its distinct indigenous zest. I had to leave for bigger city and it was Jaipur—the capital of Rajasthan, decently equipped with colleges meant for appropriate higher education. Within the flashing of times I had completed graduation and post graduation from Rajasthan School Of Art by the year 2009. There was so much to learn within that span of time. Since then I have been practising as an artist to dwell deeper meanings of the visual world.

As an artist, I do not want to disintegrate the holistic experience in the process of making my art works, but if someone were to ask what these creations mean to me, I would say this: They are the voice of the “common man”, of his dreams, aspirations, and desperations and also of his disappointments, of the unfulfilled dreams. The common man appears in different forms in these creations: One’s always kept busy in accumulating things of his everyday utility; searching for peace of mind, smiling, peeping into surreal future: with material objects. This quest stays central as central themes in most common stories yet indigenously distinct the way an artist experiences and interprets.
