A gallery becomes a museum of abandoned objects and looks familiar --looking.Time is silent.But when you look closely, every job starts.define itself.This is the moment when the artist Ritesh Meshram enters the realm of isolated sculpture known as the "womb of the Earth.In his notes on Meshram's work, Girish Shahane called the work "undiscovered objects ".The artist's sculpture is like an abandoned, rather mundane object montage like a chair, table, tool or toy.Maybe they were once owned and then thrown away until the artist found them.You will soon realize that each object is actually a unique sculpture, created from scratch and meticulously operated.Rust on a twisted table is not the influence of time, but the illusion of time.In the illusion, the magical wonders are filled with space, as the sculptures of Meshram wander on the terrain that has lost time.Pieces of the door grill (often seen in old elevators) are stuck on the floor and cannot be moved.The gray safety net of the window occupies a corner, but what can it hide?It can neither be hidden nor exposed.Another piece is the skeleton of the chair sandwiched in the middle.It made a decision when it tried to become a vague machine.Metal scraps attach to the handle of the shovel, is it a sculpture that digs out the political meaning of the metal as a material?Mehram distorted this material of his work into a metaphor, inviting the audience to reveal its hidden meaning.The essence of each work lies in their source.By giving him a focus on the metal, he undoes a reality of corrosion, which is often overlooked.How often does a person think repeatedly about the origin of an object?In the eyes of the artist, the miner's dilemma lies in the invisible cracks in each stone.Meshram believes that metal "despite its high density, its scalability allows us to use and manipulate as we like.The metaphor that fascinates me is iron ore.For me, the journey or the miners are similar to the metal."The Art side-by-side conflict is evident in every piece of work, because the work seems to be part of a whole at the same time, but still isolated.Meshram's exploration of the core of the Earth reveals a duality-the nature of the metal and the way we perceive it.A material that simulates strength is produced by scorching in a fire.The metal melts and is beaten into what it is.The process feels violent, but the finished work is delicate and elegant.The work "between lines" takes the form of thin columns designed by hammer parts.The association of this destruction is tied to the stable function of the column.The works suggest disturbing facts-because fierce people show that they are vulnerable.Some of the works find themselves in absurd types.They don't seem to be able to achieve a purpose, or lack one.The "Toy Collection" series is placed on a table, just like an artwork from an unknown Museum.Except for these toys.Can't play like sculpture.They were frozen in time.The work "land" echoes a twisted table.It continued its struggle to become a table in vain.Through such an intervention, Meshram's performance evokes a dissolution between absolute and imaginary-as he explores a deeper way of viewing.
