New Delhi : Connoisseur of the creative field, World University of Design hosted an Artwork Presentation by the well renowned Artist Naresh Kapuria in University premises today at 11.45am. The artist himself was present on the occasion along with Art Critic Qazi Raghib.
The exquisite artwork is themed around the revered relationship between the teacher and the taught. Through his unique artwork, using burnt wood Kapuria has made a beautiful attempt at depicting the idea of how symbiotic a relationship between the professor and student is. As two entities, they both have a lot to give to each other, to learn from and to be of use to humanity so long as they coexist, they must be of significance to each other and the world around them must benefit from them.
On the occasion, Artist Naresh Kapuria quoted Kabir das’ doha, “Lakdi jal koyla bhai, aur koyla jal bhayo raakh; main paapan aisi jali, jo koyla bhai na raakh’ implying that even wood and charcoal on getting fully disintegrated are still of use, unlike humans who with a heart full of desire end up being of no use to anyone.”
An ecstatic Dr. Sanjay Gupta who felicitated the celebrated artist, shared his joy saying, “Art can speak things that can’t always be said with words. Through his craft Mr. Kapuria has helped us teachers evoke and validate our emotions and prompted us to see the world from a different point of view. I thank him for sharing his work which will inspire many generations of artists”
World University of Design in a short period has come to enjoy a special place amongst art, design and other creative industry enthusiasts for its zeal to recognize and identify pure talent in the related spheres. With the felicitation of Naresh Kapuria, the University has underscored its attraction among top artists of the country who are all connecting with the university.
