THE CONCEPT

Political-economical scandals, poverty, decreased living standards, poor and bad quality state services, damaged social psychology, suicides due to financial problems, violent manifestations, tax evasion cases and political instability are some of the elements the world community knows about modern Greece, almost those are the main elements the global press used to feature Greece the latest years. Even if all these situations are happening everywhere, Greece became the “dancing floor” of them. Does anyone know why? It is difficult to give a proper answer.

Modern Greece is a country of great artists, poets, writers, dreamers and intellectuals! Modern Greece is a small country on the map but very big in our heart and minds; about 11.000 archeological sites and monuments, more than 2000 cultural associations and art clubs, about 200 museums and more than 5000 artists across the country.

Modern Greece organises about 70 artistic and cultural festivals each year. Modern Greece conserved more than 350 old and traditional dances. Modern Greece has about 800 theatrical, musical and dance groups. 500 theatrical performances in 200 theaters took place only in Athens during 2012!

Modern Greece has more than 450 mass media including newspapers, periodicals, radio stations and TV channels. Modern Greece has a unique and rare flora & fauna. Modern Greece has more than 6 alive language idioms. Modern Greece has a unique culinary culture conserving more than 1000 traditional recipes into 8 different gastronomic cultures.

From Corfu to Megisti island and from north Evros region to southern Crete, Greece is a country that wants to go ahead! Greece is in debt like your country but rich in culture like your country! We artists and other professionals of the art sector know well that the message and impact the arts produces can play a significant role in changing things for the better.

The «Design a Wish for Greece» initiative has been started by Santorini Biennale and it is represented by artists of different cultures coming from various countries. The project aims to present artists’ willingness to illuminate the real and unknown yet modern Greek culture to the world and to show that behind the economic indexes that create “ideals and lifestyles” there are humans and societies that develop a pragmatic growth instead of a “clinical”!

 RAJIB BHATTACHARJEE ON A ARTIST RESIDENCY PROGRAMME IN PLOVDIV , BULGARIA .....FROM 16TH JUNE 2012 ONWARDS

............От 16-30 юни гост на Галерия в градината е Ражиб Бхаттачарджи, Индия Представяне: 26.06. 18:00 залата на Народна библиотека Иван Вазов - картини и документален филм за китайската калиграфия

 End of June guest of Galeria In The Garden is Rajib Bhattacharjee , India Роден е през 1970, живее и работи в Калкута. Учи 2 годишен основен и 3 години курс по западно рисуване в Държавния колеж за изкуство и занаяти в Калкута, практикува 5 години в графично студио Artsacre. Изучава филмов монтаж и мултимедия. Сега работи в областта на жипописта и новите медии. Първото му участие в изложба е през 1991, от 2006 работи с индийски и световни куратори. (сред тях най-известен е Акумал Рамачaндер – творец в областта на литературата, музиката и живописта, който открива Харолд Шапински за света).

то специалното писмо на г-н Рамачандер: От 2006 съм куратор на изложби от платна и хартия в редица градове – Калкута, Мумбай, Бангалоре на един художник с голям финес от Калкута, Ражиб Бхатачарджи. Картините му се търсят от колекционери, които ценят оригиналността и остават завладпни от чувството му за красота в противовес на изобилието от грозота в живота около него. Ражиб е далеч от грижата да бъде модерен и необходимостта да е „съвременен”, които се превърнаха в проклятие за изкуството в наши дни. Той продължава да бъде верен на своя предмет, променящата се среда около него. Искрено вярвам, че Ражиб Бхатачарджи е оптимист (стока, която не достига в наши дни). Оптимизмът му се изявява в начина, по който използва цвета в своите пейзажи, като ни кара да се чувстваме уверени.


 

  Независимо от мрачната реалност, която ни заобикаля, неговите ярки произведения са изразително утвърждение на света, в който живеем. Благодаря за възможността да изразя подкрепата си за един истински артист, какъвто е Ражиб. За първия си проект в България Ражиб Бхатачарджи е привлечен от хилядолетната история на Пловдив. Върху хартия с фотографии на Калкута той ще запечата впечатленията си от града на тепетата и така ще създаде "визуален документ на мит и метафора".Творбите на Ражиб Бхатачарджи ще бъдат представени на 26.06 от 18 ч в залата на Народна библиотека Иван Вазов. Тогава ще може да се види и филма за китайската калиграфия. Част от времето си в Пловдив той ще отдели на работилници за китайска калиграфия и акварел за ученици и студенти от училищата по изкуствата в Пловдив.С тях ще бъде направена и инсталация, която ще обърне вниманието към околната среда

  From June 16 to 30 guests in the Gallery garden Razhib Bhattachardzhi, India Presentation: 26.06. 18:00 House of Ivan Vazov National Library - pictures and a documentary about Chinese calligraphy 

End of June guest of Galeria In The Garden IS Rajib Bhattacharjee,

 India Born in 1970, lives and works in Calcutta. He studied two years of primary and three years course in Western painting at the State College of Arts and Crafts in Calcutta, practiced five years in the graphic studio Artsacre. He studied film editing and multimedia. Now working in zhipopista and new media. His first exhibition was in 1991, since 2006 working with Indian and international curators. (Among them the most famous Acumen Ramachander - artist in literature, music and painting, which detects Harold Shapinski the world). This is a special letter to Mr. Ramachander: Since 2006 I curated an exhibition of paintings and paper in many cities - Calcutta, Mumbai, Bangalore an artist with great subtlety of Calcutta Razhib Bhatachardzhi. His paintings are sought by collectors who appreciate originality and remain zavladpni of his sense of beauty versus ugliness in the abundance of life around him. Razhib care is far from being modern and need to be "modern," which became a curse for art these days. He remains true to its subject, the changing environment around it. I sincerely believe that Razhib Bhatachardzhi optimistic (good, though not today). His optimism is manifested in how it uses color in his landscapes, and makes us feel confident

 Despite the grim reality that surrounds us, his vivid works are expressive affirmation of the world in which we live. Thank you for the opportunity to express my support for a true artist , as Razhib. For its first project in Bulgaria Razhib Bhatachardzhi is attracted to the millennial history of Plovdiv. On paper with photographs of Calcutta, he will seal impressions of the city of hills and so will create a "visual document of myth and metaphor." Works of Razhib Bhatachardzhi will be presented at 26.06 h from 18 in the hall of Ivan Vazov National Library. Then you can see the film about Chinese calligraphy. Part of his time in Plovdiv, he will give workshops on Chinese calligraphy and watercolor for students of art schools in Plovdiv. They will be made and installation, which will pay attention to the environment

Indijski umetnik srednje generacije, Radžib Bhatačardži je u svom multimedijalnom radu (slikarstvo, crtež, kaligrafija, film) inspirisan temama iz njegovog okruženja.

 Naglo širenje grada, urbanizacija i nestanak zemlje je nešto što pogađa celu planetu.

Ipak ovo menjanje obrisa zemlje je najviše izraženo u velikim prostranstvima, širokim horizontima na koje se naše oko naviklo.

Radžiba kao savremenog umetnika dotiču izmene koje nosi današnja civilizacija, a takođe i socijalni problemi. U njegovim apstraktnim, ekspresionističkim slikama nema ljudske figure, samo obrisi nečeg što je bilo pre i posle delovanja čoveka. Snažna crna linija dolazi iz inspiracije kineskom kaligrafijom. Jak kolorit naglašava raskoš stvorene stvarnosti koju treba da sačuvamo onakvom kakva ona jeste. Ta koloristička raskoš je i deo umetnikovog unutrašnjeg sveta, i očigledno ovi svetovi nisu odvojeni. Ono što se vidi unutrašnjim i spoljašnjim okom je jedan stvoreni svet, koji ako se sačuva u svojoj pravoj prirodi, u čistoti, može da izgleda kao slike i crteži Radžiba Bhatačardžia.

Indian artist Rajib Bhattacharjee, in his multimedia art work (painting, drawing, calligraphy, film) is inspired by themes from his surroundings.

The rapid expansion of cities, urbanization and the loss of land is something that affects the entire planet.

However, this changing of the contours of the land is most visible in large open spaces and wide horizons to which our eyes are accustomed.

Rajib as a contemporary artists is affected by the changes that occur in today's civilization, as well as by social problems.

In his abstract expressionist paintings there are no human figures, only the outline of something that existed before and exists after man’s intervention.

The strong black line is inspired by Chinese calligraphy. Strong colors highlight the richness of a created reality that should be preserved as it is. The colorist splendor is also a part of the artist's inner world, and obviously these are not separate worlds.

What you see with your internal and external eye is one created world. If that world is preserved in its real nature and purity, it can resemble the paintings and drawings of Rajib Bhattacharjee.

Olivera Gavrić Pavić
art critic
member of aica ( international association of art critics )

U apstrahovanim radovima Radžiba Bhatačardžija su površine svetlih, živih boja ispresecane debelim, crnim, linijama koje se uglavnom seku pod pravim uglom. One asociraju na arhitektonske forme koje se šire agresivno prekrivajući naše prirpdno okruženje. Upravo na to umetnik želi da skrene pažnju. Radžib je u svom radu inspirisan kineskom kaligrafijom, kao i slikarstvom  Rabindranata Tagora. Time se  nadovezuje na umetnicku tradiciju Bengala.

In the abstract works of Rajib Bhattacharjee the surfaces made up of bright, vivid colors are interspersed by thick black lines that mostly intersect at right angles.

They remind us of the architectural forms that spread aggressively to cover our environment.

That is what the artist wanted to draw our attention to.

In his work. Rajib is inspired by Chinese calligraphy and the painting of Rabindranath Tagore. In this way he follows the artistic traditions of Bengal.
