The sky is as blue as the sea. The contours of the clouds are as curvy as the branches of a Banyan tree.What is the color of the Sky, the Sea? What is the shape of the tree and the clouds?
Rinku Chauhan‘s works are omnipresent and absent at the same time. Like the water, the sea, the sky and like the trunks of the trees, they are not defined by the form and grow like the prop roots manifested in a geometrical abstraction. These works defy time and the structures weft into strong outlines and the silhouettes, they transverse between the structures of urban and rural and play between the figuration and abstraction, intermingled into confined structures.
The movement of the forms is arrested and manifested in the form of circles which were on the boundary of an expansion. His works, like the cosmos or the explosion, expand through a geometric form and transcend beyond the forms of imagination.
Rinku uses the rooted roots through the use of the material, Corchorus Olitorius (Jute) native to his own land; that may be the land his family called their own for generations or the land as the country he belongs to. He stresses and retraces his attachment back to the roots of his rural India. His works are muted, earthy, and the natural colors of the materials. The forms grow organically into outer space and are arrested outside time, and space-bound towards the eternity of spirituality.
