Statement of artist Gopal Kalapremi
View about art
Art
is a means of self expression , such expression overts through human activity. Man
alone or living together with others in a society has never been satisfied
without expressing what his inner soul
urged him to express. Observed from this
point of view drawing, painting, sculpture, music, dance, literature,
performance art, theatre, cinema, and architecture all these comprise
different sorts of medium available for human expression at
present. Such expression requires skill .Of all these medium art of drawing ,painting ,sculpture and architecture
have been marked as the long lasting. From cave drawings of prehistoric time people have adopted this form of art as their means of expression
. Such expressions find their release adopting the inspiration from, social ,cultural, and religious values
of the society . Thus it is undoubtedly clear that art is the mirror of the
society . The prosperous state of the
art of any nation at any time reflects the socio cultural and religious values and civilization of that country. Greek art, Roman art, Renaissance
art , modern art and post modernism in art reflect the arts of high cultural values of Greece, Rome,
Italy, France, and USA respectively . In a work of art we find the inner personality of its creater,the artist.
Naturally as mentioned above the art
reflects where it was created. Under postmodernism in some cases a painter or a sculptor even
derelicts his traditional tools like
brush, canvas, plaster etc. He presents arts with novel presentations using in
many cases people , places or things. So the tools and the nature of arts seems to be altered but the inner urge to
express the feeling of the artist has not been lessened . It has been so because the western art has
always been dynamic. Always adopting something new. It will be clear if we look
at the art from renaissance to present so many art movements has come forward. Talking about the art of our
country our traditional arts are very rich in their cultural value and
identity. As to the contemporary art of Nepal we may call them Nepali modern art, because they have adopted elements from
western art. But still they have maintained distinct Nepali identity.
