An 'altered perspective' to ceramic sculpture

A ceramic sculptures exhibition, showcasing multiple imageries surfacing from varying perspectives of the artist's creations, is being held at District Centre in Saket. Titled 'The Altered Perspective', it is a solo exhibition by artist Dipalee Daroz.

The sculptures on display are a transition of context through the use of inherent textures and properties of clay graduating into natural forms and objects, thus creating an optical depth between the natural and the real.

They represent Daroz's psyche of looking at things, which turn out to be more ambiguous and figurative in its own way. Viewers can easily give shape to her sculptures depending on their understanding and objectives through which they catch a glimpse of the displayed sculptures.

When asked about curating sculptures as ceramics stoneware and the concept behind it, Daroz said, "Cracks is the phenomenon which we relate to the earth and to achieve that texture one needs do a lot of research because in normal cases there is a concept and technique. In ceramics, we have to follow some rules to create an art object.

It is very difficult to make the earth. My creation resembles a metal or something which gives a glossy effect. Stone is a timeless thing and you can see how I have treated clay to resemble a stone with all the textures."

The artist has also experimented with landscape sculptures but at a minimalist level. Her inspiration for landscapes come from her time-to-time travel experiences. She takes inspiration from a tree or a cactus.

The artist has multiple imageries coming to her mind, but Dipalee doesn't plan what she is doing instead makes use of what comes her way.
