Collection: Meghansh Thapa

Meghansh is a Delhi ncr based artist with a background of 9 solo shows and around 45 group shows all over India and abroad. His was a long journey with less stability and more creativity. The more life challenged him the more he excelled. And this tussle produced the two distant relatives in accordance – Black which is profound and White which is pure. He has full faith in these two non-colours using which he has created this stunning long series. With strong narratives and visually powerful artworks, Meghansh expresses personal experiences of day-to-day life and his perception of Spirituality and connection with Omnipresent, the Formless.

His medium is charcoal as he can relate to this black medium easily and it justifies his expression. Usage of symbols like rosary, crescent moon, fish etc. are his way to attract viewer’s attention on particular area of the artwork and also to tell small stories. His figures are voluminous and reflect his messages through gestures. In almost all his painted canvases, there are images of Saints with gestures of blessings or carrying the symbol of the crescent moons in their hands. 

Each and every human form reflects the image of Formless infinite God; Param Purush, the conceived form of formless/omnipresent god. It is fascinating to observe in some of his works some old and wrinkled images which stand for authority and maturity that come with age. His images showcase figures having more than one head, symbolising the all-pervading quality of Param Purush; three or four hands is the symbol of efficiency, whereas several legs of the image represents stability. 

Meghansh’s female figures are the representation of a mother, the Earth, Prakriti, and the beloved. The image of women for him is his mother and his treasured wife who is also the mother of his children. For him ‘She’ in any form is very vital for his existence and bears equal or sometimes higher status than him.  

Meghansh is an autobiographical painter and through his recent Artworks he has roused us to think about the spiritual path. One is driven to examine, not only the works themselves, but also the relationship the artist has with them, during their fabrication and when they are finished. 

Need we say anymore, that his narrative creations act like a medium leading the viewers indeed towards a path of faith?
