An experience of Divinity in its simple elegant form has been presented through a very opulent and graceful advance by the artist, Megha Joshi, who has attempted to capture the essence of the nature during the season of Hanami by blending the cultures and traditional arts of India and Japan. Presented by the Mirart Fine Arts “Golden Spring” an exhibition of Japanese Art to be held till 15 May at ‘ai’, MGF Metropolitan Mall, Saket, has put forth a universal idea through simple elements of nature.
It all began when Megha, who practiced more in the conceptual space with sculptures and installations which is a genre of complex art, open to various interpretations and discussions was posed with a challenge by Meera Kakar, the curator, to embrace a new style and approach to creating by fusing the aesthetic art of the Land of the Rising Sun with the sumptuous tradition of India. She accepted it and after a lot of research, produced a very delicate and oriental form of art that has the golden base and fabric textures of Japan unified with the spring aroma of India.
Exhibited at a perfect location like ‘ai’, a very prestigious Japanese restaurant in Delhi, the exhibition imposes an ambience where art and gastronomy has been fused together. Here golden spring fabric designs with Sakura (cherry blossom), kimono, and leafy textures embracing the magnificence of new life surrounds you on one hand and the delectable summer Japanese menu of ‘ai’ comes as a complete delight on the other.
The Chef De Cuisine, Vikram Khatri, indulges in the process of feeding all your senses and presents an enchanting round of cuisines where there is Cold Mushroom soup with mixed green salad, appealing Tuna Maki rolls with Wasabi (horse radish), fresh ginger and Soya sauce. Then accompanies the Miso soup with Bonita flakes and tofu, along with the mouth-watering Ceviche (sea food) with Okinawa chilies and yuzu sauce. For the main course comes the luscious Terriyaki chicken, Garlic fried rice and Rayu noodles with spring onions and sesame seeds. To top it up is the delicious green tea ice-cream and the green tea opera cake which makes it all in all a truly heavenly experience.
“It has been a meditative journey, from unlearning the complex modern theories of ideas to concentrating on a Zen-like approach towards creating aesthetics and imbibing the simple classic beauty of Japanese motifs which are so humble and genuine”, says the vibrant artist who now works upon a 300kg sculpture on social networking culture. She adds, “This is my first individual approach, and I am happy to have shared it with Meera, who inspired the whole secular decorative tradition”.
A very confident Meera appreciatively says, “The inherent beauty spontaneously inspires you to embrace the splendor of life around you. The spiritual spirit around the luxurious warming, envelopes the senses at the first sight, therefore making the entire approach more philosophical and divine”.
