Apurva Desai

Apurva Desai is an artist who has carved a niche for himself in the visual arts circuit as an urban landscapist, through the use of skillful mediums and unique themes related to the emotional zone of industrial workers. He employs the medium in particular, rather adeptly, to appropriately befit the logic derived from industrialization.

The illusion that manifests itself is of the balance struck between the momentum produced by the overlapping of these forms, on one hand, and the small windows, or apertures; on the other. The angles that are revealed from the complete form resonate with viewers, stirring their emotions and dilating their thought pupils. They experience a sense of movement from stillness to liveliness.

The materials he uses to create his compositions as medium: the tools, gears & equipment used by the work force of textiles and shipbuilding/breaking industries, like huge wire ropes of iron/ aluminium, the extracted metal sheets etc., create an illusion of space within space, from which varied forms appear to emerge.
