KAREN DİAS (Artist)
USA
I am an interdisciplinary artist from Mumbai with roots in Goa, India living in New York City. My practice spans across lens-based media, sculpture and installation. After over a decade-long career as a photojournalist, my recent work is rooted in the investigation of the role of documentary photographs in truth-telling and their relevance as a reliable document of our time. This investigation into the function and responsibility of images also informs my sculptural practice. My work challenges visual representations of state violence, power, suffering, and death while exploring its often illegible and obscure manifestations in our daily lives.
Through the use of everyday materials, like razor blades, dried red chilies, medical gauze, safety pins, salt, and burlap bags among others; my practice explores how elements of legalized, statesanctioned violence can be in-built and circulate through the foundation of our society, at the intersection of where the personal and domestic meet the political and institutional. Playing with semiotics, emblems, icons and motifs, I lead the viewer to question their role as a participant, bystander or witness in acts of violence and oppression explored through the image/object's potential for malleability, ephemerality and fragmentation.
My work stems from thinking about the potency of a line, as something that has the potential to hold something within its boundaries and also to exclude and expunge; in conjunction to borders and political divides. I’m interested in testing the boundaries of objects and images to explore how they can transform into structures and sites of danger and tension.

Basing on the boundless composition and combination of nature and the limitlessness of human emotions and thoughts, the artist creates abstract compositions by using one of the other. Spontaneity in the creative flow process is similar to the natural flow of nature and life. By using both these natural and spontaneous forms and relationships and the emphasis on these determined interventions, the artist represents the organic relationship between human and nature, while the level and intensity of this relationships differ in each painting. The contrast occurred in the end of the process is seen as parts of an artificial integrity. Just like life itself...

VIKRANT CHAUHAN (Artist)
INDIA
Vikrant Chauhan is a native of the festive and cultural country, India and he started to draw in his childhood by taking inspiration from his mother. After completing his formal education, he studied fine arts from the Department Of Fine Arts, Kurukshetra University, Kurukshetra and graduated with a bachelor’s degree in 2018. After bring graduated with painting specialisation, printmaking caught his interest as his major for post graduation from the same University.So he completed his masterdegree in printmaking in 2020. During his graduation, his printmaking teacher’s and many printmaking artists’ works inspired him in this unique printmaking field. So he chose print making as a suitable medium to express his feelings. His work reflects struggle of mankind to save his entity and existence.He worked in etching, woodcut and other technique of print.He participated in many national and international exhibition like Mexico, Italy, Romania, Ukraine, Macedonia, Washington, Germeny.His works published in a Uk based art Magzine "Inspirational".Recently he got awarded in first international triennial of graphics of small forms and exlibris,Odessa Ukrain.He also participated in camps,worshops and print exchange of qu bi gallery print exchange 2019,Vicenza,Italy.He has worked in different techniques of printmaking. However, he loves working in etching the most to achieve a true likeness of what he see and feel. Now, He is also experimenting with colla graph and the plaster of paris. In his perspective, the field of printmaking is like a miracle in art as medium or in technical aspects ., There is a wide possibility of experimentation and secondly, a soft and aesthetic full print is created from a very hard surface like zinc or copper, which in itself is like a magic. The different textures, deep and raised lines and surface play a beautiful role and that attracts me towards this medium. The possibilities of multiple applications and mediums in printmaking are vast and wide.
