It’s like a story really when suddenly one of the most successful and talked about Art Exhibition 2016 is put up by three high school kids or three teenagers who joined hands to make it big in the sphere of art and exhibition. Anjali Kanodia, Shrishti Saraff and Tanushri Shah, students of Modern High School for Girls, have made their dreams come true all by themselves as they recently organized “Frames”—a two day exhibition held at ICCR recently. The hard work paid off for the trio who did everything from scratch, including selecting their best frames , designing invitation cards , networking and booking of the gallery. These girls displayed their talent and at the sametime, contributed to the art community by hosting art workshops for kids from NGO’s.
As a co-lead of the event, Tanushri was found explaining that art to her was a means of expressing herself, her opinions and ideas. It is similar to what many would term as ‘escape from reality’. Though she is a student of class XII but she seemed eager to help children blossom into their creative self. She herself is an admirer of conceptual art and has participated in two exhibitions before. Her other spheres of interest involve Maths and Physics as she calls them her academic passion.
Shristi was quite like her friendly counter part Tanushri as she also loves Physics, Chemistry, robots and sciences apart from painting. Smilingly, she added that she has the intention of painting someone’s face using oil colours. Her paintings give out the message that this young girl is a true feminist. Her paintings mostly were of abused girls in pain and anger. Her “Lady in Blue” and “Woman in Red Veil” depicts a sad and angry woman respectively. It’s amazing at the maturity shown by this class XII student as tries to portray deep and sensitive message to everyone.
If these two are good, then their younger co-host is nothing short of great. Anjali Kanodia is more into the issue of man vs machine. Her premiere work was however an acrylic rendition of a Rajasthani man. Anjali gave an insight into the friendship bond of the three and informed that they met at an art mela in school. The bonding, according to Anjali, was instant and immediately decided to host anb exhibition together.
With this as their first success, Tanushri expects to host many more such exhibitions with her team. There were 27 paintings and a few sculptures across the exhibition. Passionate about the cause of child rights, they taught origami, oil and charcoal painting to the 26 kids from the NGO. Two collaborative paintings and a colorful sample of origami made in collaboration with the children marked a grand success for the event.
