Art Alive Gallery Presents Horizons of Memory a solo exhibition of works by Yashwant Deshmukh. The exhibition continues his long-standing engagement with the metaphysical qualities of space, architecture and forms. Through abstracted architectural elements and muted visual language, Deshmukh constructs a world where the visible and invisible, the inhabited and the imagined, quietly converge. Deshmukh’s oeuvre is evocative of the banal interiority of everyday life, spaces devoid of any human interaction yet suggesting shelter, solitude, and silence. Although the objects that find solace in this body of work are familiar to the artist and to the viewer, there is a distinct play of geometric forms unfolding across the pictorial space. According to the artist, it is not a nostalgic
approach where he draws from memories of his childhood in the native place of Vidharbha but an intense fascination with the different layers, visual sensibility of objects and traces of his memory that surround him. He reads and expresses the memories not as stories but as atmospheres.
