A Jump Back To the Retinal Art

Modern art including Cubist and impressionist were a form of retinal art and jumping from contemporary to retinal art and again coming back is the rhythm of the works of Mr. Vikash Kalra. The whole process is very amalgam of the artist’s views and the characters. It is indeed a work of something more crucial and mostly non-understandable but this cannot be denied that Vikash Kalra is one of the fewest retinal artists.

To those who do not understand what retinal art is? Here is the definition according to Marcel Duchamp- The term retinal art also refers to modern art pertaining to geometric designs that create a sense of movement or optical illusions. It is also termed as Optical Art movement or Op-Art. The movement lost popularity by the end of the 1960s.

If we look upon the logical definition of art and the artists working on the modern and most contemporary art compete it has changed over time. The subjects in the art got some added dimensions which kept them rooted with the new form of compilation. For instance in Vikash Kalra art, there is some distorted and new angles of subject emotions and thought process.

Looking upon different perspectives, it became something simple and this could be the reason that the contemporary movement is taking a new direction. While in another sense it is moving towards the complicated form of art that a common man cannot understand on the other hand it is moving towards that side where an artist will have more freedom of expression irrespective of the media.

The whole primitive idea of knowing an artwork gets dismantle against the ideas of Vikash Kalra art. It is a prefixed mindset of the people is that someone know better if they are rich. Here, one thing should be definitely considered that most of these art enthusiastic do not even bother to understand the real meaning of retinal art or in the modern sense cubist or surrealist.

1. If there is something important in the highly contemporary arts that are developed between the 90s to the 21st century then that is the core choice of the artist. There is something in Vikash Kalra’s art that makes them more real than the illusion. It is creating something fuzzy yet clear layer over the works of the masters. They are indeed inspired, recollected, and imagined memory of the artist but they are not stopping at the single level of the art revolution.
2. It is the second decade of the 21st century and even in this modernized and electronically influenced world, the art with the real heart is prevailing against all odds. They are completing the full revolution of the initial point of intersection. They are indeed different from the renaissance of the 1900s paintings but Vikash’s artworks are defining the real motivation of the new world reign.
3. Comparison with single-stroke art and more focused and deliberately fine art is absolutely unnecessary. It will be like comparing apples with oranges but they both contain their core value. In another sense, this retinal art by Vikash, Souza or Picasso is something containing very definite core value but their understanding by the populace is underdeveloped.

It needs a mature mind and even a mature heart to understand these strokes. While these arts are hard stroke art and do not possess multiple layers but compatible in conveying the real meaning. Art with deliberate and careful brushes is beautiful for the eyes and compatible for the audience with less understanding of artistic representations.

There is something that makes these arts more compatible with the modern sense is that they are freely moving without any restriction. We cannot define them through a movement but we can actually enjoy them, feel them, and most important we can call them ‘one of a kind’ arts.

Vikash’s artworks are more compatible in the modern sense without boundaries than to be freehand and deliberate fine arts with the focus on beauty.
