Can’t wait for dreams





Can’t wait for dreams

Van Gogh said I dream my paintings and I paint my Dreams. So when a painter see things in his dreams and successfully brings out them on canvas it’s amazing for the viewers. When I first saw Amit’s paintings it was a pleasure. He was showing at Indore, Deolalikar Art gallery along with one of his dear friend Supriy, I noticed the seriousness of a young painter. Amit was very much aware of what he is doing and he was at ease with the forms and colours. Most of the time when you are seeing any young artist work it shows you the possibilities of him to grow as an artist not the artist himself. Amit was very casual in handling the forms, colours and the painted atmosphere like a grown up master. He had a vision from the beginning. He was dreaming his works and bingeing out on the surface successfully.
In the present exhibition he is showing some paintings with few drawings. One can notice his masterly approach in both. His casual approach and its perfect impact of a dreamland takes viewer on trip of Joy. Visual impact of his work looks as if a festival is being celebrated on a strange land which was hidden for a long time, now revealed. His trees and animals, his train and motor cars, his helicopter and ship, his mountain and his city are all and everything is not of this world but the world of his dreams.


It takes you in different space where time has stopped. You are in a space with his imagination and the imagined organic and geometric materialistic world. As you are in dream. What you are looking at is not from this realistic day to day life. Amit is able to find out a place where he can put his fingers to figure out the possibility of a real dream. This dream is no more a dream it became reality through the eyes of Amit. He is creating a world of imagination where he feel he can’t wait for his dreams.

Dreams are seen when you are in a deep sleep. This is what my doctor friend said to me once. Deep sleep means you are not even in your body. You are traveling in the unconscious and you may not remember what is being seen or experienced. But the feelings are real. Here in these paintings you became conscious of your being. You experience the unseen. The reality of a dream in revealed.
Amit cannot wait for his dreams. He makes them visible.

He plays with colours, forms and lines. His approach towards all these is very casual as he is not making them or drawing them out but just removing the curtain of the stage. An experience is visible. Viewer is astonished with the image. This power of addressing the astonishment of a viewer is not easy. All artists are attempting this un-known, un-attempted un-conscious outside of inner self, very few reaches there without an effort like Van Gogh. There is no connection between Amit and van Gogh except one that both are painter. Van Gogh paints his dreams and Amit creates a dream.
As a young painter he has a long way to go and I think he is capable enough to grow as a master. He can create his dreams to paint but he cannot wait for a dream.

अमित हारित का स्वप्न सदृश कला संसार सपनों का इंतजार नहीं.......... सुमन सिंह सामान्य तौर पर युवा अवस्था को सपने देखने आैर उसे साकार करने के उम्र के तौर पर माना जाता है। उस उम्र से गुजर रहे किसी युवा की अभिव्यक्ति अगर इन शब्दों के साथ आता है कि सपनों का इंतजार नहीं कर सकता यानि can’t wait for dreams। तो पहली नजर में यह बात कुछ चौंकाता सा लगता है तो दूसरी तरफ क्यों जैसा शब्द भी हमारे सामने आता है। इन बातों का जवाब मिलता है इस शीर्षक के साथ ललित कला अकादमी की रवीन्द्र भवन दीर्घा में प्रदर्शित युवा कलाकार अमित हारित के चित्रों को देखने के बाद। अमित जयपुर से हैं आैर उन थोड़े से युवा कलाकारों में से आते हैं जो कला बाजार के मौजूदा भेड़चाल से अलग हटकर कुछ नया हमारे सामने लाते हैं। राजस्थान अपनी समृद्ध सांस्कृतिक विरासत को लेकर दुनिया भर में जाना जाता है। जो सदियों से ना सिर्फ  राज्याश्रयों में ही पल्लवित पुष्पित हुई बल्कि वहां के लोकजीवन के अंग-संग परवान चढती रही। देखा गया है कि समृद्ध विरासत एक तरफ अगर हमारे रचनात्मकता के लिए प्रेरणा बनती है तो दूसरी तरफ यह कि कला...
