Art has always been known to be descriptive about feelings, emotions, history, current situations and much more which describes both the act and the result. Method, Art Space an independent art gallery in the heart of Mumbai, Kalaghoda is trying to keep their efforts ongoing by bringing to you young and budding artists works through an exclusive online series called ‘PAUSE’ : a virtual series of shows, which showcases unfinished projects by artists around the world.
“These works stemmed out of collages I was making to digitize and then finish using various image manipulators. I would then print them myself on canvas. Gave me immense joy. But then I eventually ran out of canvas and my printer broke and these images were stranded on my machine hoping one day they could get out and attach themselves to some sexy ass surface. For a reason there is always something sexual or musical in my work. It completes my design on many levels and brings closer my relationship with art, simply colour sometimes and sometimes the universe.” Says artist Randolph Correiaon on Method Art.
For the online series PAUSE a large part of the process for artists is letting go and sharing works that in their opinion might not be ‘complete’. With this artistic vulnerability, artists enter a stage of moving on and accepting a work or body of work for what it is in its current form. Sharing the work in its ‘unfinished’ state doesn’t rule out revisiting/reworking/’finishing’; it in the unknown future; rather, it simply allows the artist to acknowledge the impact of their own artwork is beyond their own control – and begins not with completion.
Randolph Correia is a guitarist, electronic music producer, DJ and graphic artist from Mumbai. Part of the iconic Indian band ‘Pentagram‘, Randolph laid the foundation in the early 90’s for a movement in the Indian indie music scene without which the current landscape might perhaps have not been as interesting as it is. His work along side Monica Dogra in Shaair + Func saw him bend genres and further the cause for electronic music in India in the mid 2000s. Randolph has played more gigs and festivals in more countries that we can list here. Some of the bands he has shared a stage with are The Chemical Brothers, Fatboy Slim and Tori Amos.
