Priyanka Aelay (Telangana)
About Artist
Participated in an art camp, "21 artists", Hyderabad, 2010. Her works can be read as an affirmation of the 'self' as a repressed rhetoric and as a discursive quip in terms of rethinking the fundamental system of concepts or the 'kunstwollen'(artistic will). In this process of assertion, she engraves her' imaginary'/ 'imaginative' imageries onto naked surfaces, at her free will and choice. The representations are audacious yet ambiguous.she invites the viewer into her own web of creative impulses which are sumptuously woven into known and unknown corral forms. The known mutate the unknown, imitating and renovating the 'real', as 'kunstwollen' further gives rise to an innovative visual glossary of the implausible imagery, which is predominant in her intricate detailed work. For her, the source comes from her nostalgic intertextuality and her unexplainable reveries conciliating between physicality and meta-physicality of the forms. 'flora and fauna' unfathomably coexist and confer a complex narrative of 'life' and the bewilderment. At times, they are compound riddles, which are laid in the form of visuals. Through a unique blend of real and imaginary, a dialogue of inexorable feelings is translated and transliterated into an individualistic visual idiom that is heightened by symbolic expressions.
