Rejeesh Sarovar is Kerala based artist Kerala Lalitha Kala academy state awards 2014 The artist’s observations show the quest of his life with its surroundings and his experiences have been transformed into his paintings during his Life studies, education period which has caused him to select figurative components later in his work. His search for human lives and their aptitudes had taken him to the very roots of man’s biological relationship with earth and soil. And these entanglements are intertwined in such a way that it could be traced back to the backyards of his own culture. He has been focusing himself in a village of northern Kerala surviving on agriculture and fishing. There being or existence has been captured into his canvas and those reflections gain colors. Like any culture of the world, a society of superstitions do exist here. So when we refer to ‘humans’ we just have to claim or differentiate them in terms of skin tone or their costumes. I firmly do believe only in the oneness of this human existence and above all this sense, the terms ‘human being’ is unique. The pictures visualize the tradition and culture of the present society. But the language it speaks is the one of internationality
While observing society from a contemporary viewpoint, he could seek out the remnants of the forgotten past in a lot of ways. Hence, at times, the paintings had turned out to be his visions on past memories. Another thing is that these paintings do become a connecting bridge among three different eras – past, present, and future. They might remind the future generations about a way of life that was once possible and happening, among their ancestors, for what matters the most is that ‘desires’ surrounding our lives undergo various transformations with the passage of time and generations.
These paintings have become a weapon against social differences. The human who scatters the law in the air and the effect of such deeds bringing anarchy and confusion in the lawful system is too portrayed through the wonderful colors. The emotional expression has been beautifully linked with his internal and external. The pictures speak about hunger. Any life is transformed into a martyr of struggle or 2 pieces of consumption just because of the basic truth- ‘Hunger’. In short these colors breathe in the language of a typical village hood, their messages, their pains, their attitude, and the spiritual journey of these paintings giving vivid explanations. The blending and the synchronization of nature and mankind and its swimming into its memories are prominent. At the same time, these pictures combine the past and the future.
According to Rajesh, his Beliefs and worship rituals have always evolved with age, adapting to the changes in man’s way of living. Beyond that, the point of the painting at some of the idols of life rooted in their agriculture systems. And to paint them, what helped him were the most of the folk stories and songs that prevailed there, spread through both written and verbal methods. All his recent paintings are based on his studies upon how much influence these idols had had on human life. These paintings have become a weapon against social differences. The human who scatters the law in the air and the effect of such deeds bringing anarchy and confusion in the lawful system is too portrayed through the wonderful colors.
