Artist Statement

When we contemplate at contemporaneous civilization, often we introspect on our existence in past 5000 years. We inquire whether the anthropological commorancy have cumulated inordinately or are the transformations gradual. Change is an inevitable part of our humankind and we as earthling have excogitated through these changes and have affected the bionomics and environment at large. While contemplating on Indian civilization which started with Indus Valley Civilization which were developed beside Indus & Saraswati river. Later with the incoming of Aryans, Gangetic Civilization developed in India along river Ganges and its tributaries. Numerous other civilizations were developed beside the major rivers in India which capacitate us to infer that the human habitats curlicue around three sustainable elements – water, land and air.

Both nature and human are accountable for alternating the landscapes. Wherein we can govern the human alteration, we have no authority over nature. However, we are primarily culpable for nature to delivering the changes. Thus, we should comprehend and impede our demeanour against nature so that this planet is sustainable for living for future generation.

From the beginning of human existence, are shaping landscapes. As we progressed from different periods we are still dependent on these sustainable elements however with the rise in population we have rapidly urbanized. We are the current denizen of planet earth and are knowingly or unknowingly progressing towards unsustainable evolution. We have contemporary priority and disregard our eventual which will shortly become perilous for human existence. Our selfish actions are pushing our future generation for extinction.

My work addresses the burgeoning ecological asymmetry which the present generation is undergoing. This is culminated due to abuse of power, human greed and materialistic aspirations. I have tried to illustrate the human exploitation of macrocosm and the agony the flora and fauna. I have conveyed my apprehension related to ecology and environmental catastrophe through my work.  I am passionate about nature and the continuous changes in the landscapes of India have compelled me to take the concerns of environment and ecology to be my subject of creativity. I tried to create aesthetics in my work. 

My medium of work is Oil on Canvas and I have integrated with charcoal and created a harmonious blend of metaphorical changes in ecology resulting in changing landscapes with my creativity taking a role of a community member of aboriginal tribe entangled in the crossroads of development. My work continued to employ a variety of brush-strokes, techniques and color pallets to depict the subject matter thus evolving a unique style of naturalistic, impressionistic and simplified forms with heavy outlines, sharp contrasts and emotional composition to create an internal agitation amongst my subject matter. Thus, my work is evolved around the subject matter which symbolize their struggle and internal resistance in the content, depicting a state of mind rather than an extreme reality.

I am trying to create an awareness that due to expeditious evolution there is an inevitable ramification on environment which is conceiving asymmetry in ecology and ambivalence for our future generation. I am working on landscaping last more than one decade and subject of work is related to environmental degradation. My endeavour is to document these changes and archive them through my work.

作品说明：

当我们思考同时代的文明时，我们往往会反思我们在过去5000年中的存在。我们探究人类学的共同性是过度积累的，还是逐渐转变的。变化是人类不可避免的一部分，作为地球人，我们经历了这些变化，并影响了整个生物组学和环境。在思考始于印度河和萨拉斯瓦蒂河沿岸的印度河流域文明的印度文明时。后来，随着雅利安人的到来，恒河及其支流在印度发展起来。在印度的主要河流旁发展了许多其他文明，这使我们能够推断人类栖息地围绕着三个可持续的元素——水、土地和空气。

自然和人类都对景观的交替负有责任。在我们可以控制人类变化的地方，我们对自然没有权威。然而，我们要为大自然带来的改变负主要责任。因此，我们应该理解并阻止我们对自然的态度，这样这个星球才能可持续地为子孙后代生活。

从人类存在之初，就在塑造风景。随着我们从不同时期的发展，我们仍然依赖这些可持续的因素，然而随着人口的增长，我们已经迅速城市化。我们是地球上目前的居民，在知情或不知情的情况下正在向不可持续的进化迈进。我们有当代的优先权，无视我们的最终目标，这将很快对人类的生存构成危险。我们的自私行为正在把我们的下一代推向灭绝。

我的工作解决了当代人正在经历的日益严重的生态不对称问题。这是由于滥用权力、人类贪婪和物质主义愿望而达到顶峰的。我试图说明人类对宏观世界的剥削以及动植物的痛苦。我通过工作表达了我对生态和环境灾难的担忧。我对自然充满热情，印度景观的不断变化迫使我将环境和生态问题作为我的创作主题。我试图在我的作品中创造美学。

我的工作媒介是画布上的油画，我与木炭融合在一起，创造了一个和谐的生态隐喻变化的融合，导致景观的变化，我的创造力扮演了一个陷入发展十字路口的土著部落社区成员的角色。我的作品继续使用各种笔触、技巧和调色板来描绘主题，从而形成了一种独特的自然主义、印象派和简化形式的风格，具有厚重的轮廓、鲜明的对比和情感构成，在我的主题中创造了一种内在的骚动。因此，我的作品是围绕着主题展开的，这些主题在内容上象征着他们的斗争和内部抵抗，描绘了一种精神状态，而不是极端的现实。

我试图创造一种意识，即由于快速进化，环境不可避免地会产生分歧，这会给我们的下一代带来生态不对称和矛盾心理。我从事园林绿化工作超过十年，工作主题是和环境退化有关。我的努力是记录这些变化，并通过我的工作将其存档。

Artist Introduction：

Nabanita Saha is an artist from India who has been engaged in artistic creation for the past 22 years. She mostly lives in India, Switzerland, France, South Korea, and Germany, and has been residing in Shanghai, China since May 2022. Nabanita International Honors include the Yonsee Mountain Art Museum Art Exhibition in South Korea, the Pollock Krasna Foundation in the United States, Camark in France, PHKR Artist Scholarship Support in Switzerland, Elizabeth Greenshields Fund Support in Canada, and various awards and scholarships in India. Nabanita's solo exhibitions were held at DCS Contemporary Art Museum in Karlsruhe, Germany, Mulan Public Welfare Art Exhibition for Overseas Talents in Shanghai, DoBe Group in Hangzhou, Yanshishan Art Museum in Wanzhou County, South Korea, Stellwerk Studio in Basel, Switzerland, Kumar Gallery in New Delhi, Sarjan Art Museum in Baroda, Gorky Sadan in Kolkata, Bangalore, Bajaj Art Museum in Mumbai, and Arts Core Gallery in Baroda. Nabanita's works have also been exhibited at over 60 group exhibitions in India, South Korea, Switzerland, France, Germany, and China. Nabanita graduated from the University of Kolkata in India and completed a Master's degree in Arts from MS University in Baroda, one of India's leading art colleges.

Nabanita is deeply saddened by the impact of nature and the pain caused by human environmental degradation. She has been working in this field for over 18 years and expresses concern about the deterioration of land, water, and air conditions caused by environmental pollution caused by urbanization and rapid development. Nabanita's works delve into the daily life of rural communities in India, which have rapidly transformed into new urban lifestyles, largely influenced by the rapidly changing lifestyles of Indian cities. Her works in rural communities in India encourage her ideas and concepts to be explored in a visual language to delve deeper into the areas of life that influence the entire community, especially how the new rural communities in India can keep up with the pace of rapid development. Her artistic works have evolved from the history of the Indian nation, which is transitioning from a regional development model to a more globalized and free democratic country. I am deeply concerned about the rapid development of rural people in the context of losing their innocence and their dying cultural background.

She was inspired by Indian miniature paintings, which are based on the concept of storytelling and feature characters with a wealth of details. She intends to visualize the same spirit in my work and weave a story around her as the main theme. Nabanita is using oil painting techniques; And using various brushstrokes, techniques, and color palettes to depict the theme, a unique style of naturalism, impressionism, and simplified forms has evolved, with thick contours, sharp contrasts, and emotional compositions, creating an inner turmoil in my theme. Therefore, her works revolve around themes that symbolize their struggle and internal resistance in content, depicting a state of mind rather than extreme reality. Her effort is to document these changes and archive them through her works.

艺术家简介：

Nabanita Saha是一位来自印度的艺术家，在过去的22年里一直从事艺术创作，她的大部分时间生活在印度、瑞士、法国、韩国和德国，自2022年5月以来一直居住在中国上海。Nabanita国际荣誉包括韩国延世山艺术博物馆艺术展、美国波洛克·克拉斯纳基金会、法国卡马克、瑞士PHKR艺术家奖学金支持、加拿大Elizabeth Greenshields基金支持以及印度的各种奖项和奖学金。Nabanita的个展分别在德国卡尔斯鲁厄DCS当代美术馆、中国上海海外人才木兰公益艺术展、中国杭州DoBe集团、韩国万州郡延世山艺术博物馆、瑞士巴塞尔Stellwerk工作室、印度新德里Kumar画廊、印度巴罗达Sarjan美术馆、印度加尔各答Gorky Sadan、印度班加罗尔g画廊、印度孟买Bajaj美术馆和印度巴罗达Arts Core画廊举办。Nabanita的作品也在印度、韩国、瑞士、法国、德国和中国的60多个团体展上展出。Nabanita在印度加尔各答大学毕业，并在印度领先的艺术学院之一的印度巴罗达MS大学完成了艺术硕士学位。

Nabanita受到大自然的影响，对人类造成的环境退化给大自然带来的痛苦感到痛心。她从事这方面的工作已经超过18年，她对城市化和快速发展造成的环境污染造成的土地、水和空气条件恶化表示关切。Nabanita的作品深入探讨了印度乡村乡村社区的日常生活，这些乡村社区生活迅速转变为新城市生活方式，这在很大程度上受到了印度城市快速变化的生活方式的影响。她在印度农村社区的作品是她鼓励自己的思想和概念以视觉语言的方式，以更深入地探索影响整个社区的生活领域，特别是当今新的印度农村社区如何跟上快速发展的步伐。她的艺术作品从印度民族的历史演变而来，印度民族正从一个地域发展模式变为一个更全球化、更自由的民主国家，她对农村人民失去纯真和他们垂死的文化背景下的快速发展深感担忧。

她受到了印度微型画的启发，这幅画基于讲故事的概念，画中人物有大量细节。她打算在她的作品中形象化同样的精神，围绕她试图作为主题编织一个故事。Nabanita正在使用油画技术；并运用各种笔触、技巧和调色板来描绘主题，从而演变出一种独特的自然主义、印象主义和简化形式的风格，具有厚重的轮廓、鲜明的对比和情感构成，在我的主题中创造出一种内在的骚动。因此，她的作品是围绕着主题展开的，这些主题在内容上象征着他们的斗争和内部抵抗，描绘了一种精神状态，而不是极端的现实。她在努力记录这些变化，并通过她的作品将其存档。
