ARTIST SECTION

His greatest fantasy is to sculpt a mountain rock in Himalayas as Stone Age inspires him. Don’t be astonished, he is not a tribal or caveman. Living in sci-fi era, artist Narinder Thakur says that Gen Y hanging round in rugged jeans, guys decked up with jazzy ornaments and gals getting body pierced all over, it’s revival of the long gone cultural era. “Isn’t it more of Harppan tribal trend that we are following?” inquires the artist. And, that’s what he tries to depict clannish ethnicity in his masterpieces. “Nature attracts us to come back to it.”
This artist has made massive contribution in giving a facelift to city beautiful. To remind you about his ingenious masterpieces, lets start from murals on display around the city: Baithak in Kalgram, Chef 43 and Lakeview.
What starts as clean steady line emerges as magnum opus with a dash of colours added to it. After sketching on paper, Narinder freezes his ideas into life size sculptors, either in moulds of clay or wrought iron. He has even painted walls and larger than life murals.
Narinder has been broadly inspired by Picaso. Most of his sculptors depicts subtle beauty concealed in human anatomy. Talking about naked characters created by Narinder, he says, “My characters enjoy freedom. They are always in open.”
Presently, he is working on two contrasting series: ‘ancient era’ and ‘mankind 20 years hence.’ The crux of his research is: “With increasing fondness for murals and splash of greenery at every nook and corner of sky-high buildings, the cemented world is turning back to stoned era.”
This man boasts of free flowing lines that liberally meet to emerge as faces. What’s peculiar about them is that each face wears a plastic smile, hiding grim emotions expressed in eyes.
Thakur titters, “I use natural flavour in my artwork.” This artist with electrifying imaginative thoughts, is born and brought up in Chandigarh. Though he inherited inventive mindset from his father Laxman Das, he believes it’s all in air. He says, “Le Corbusier has gifted the city with perfect surroundings to dwell an arty mindset.”
