Kishore Shanker

Currently, I've been inspired by the theme 'Evolving Rainbow.' It feels like I am surrounded by a spectrum of color once more. Experiment contingently some time lead to unexpected result –some time excellent time fatuous in Science and art. In fact last century was the century of experimentation and much was contributed to science and technology and to fine arts. Kishor Shankar may be viewed in th

at kind of generic experimentalists. While he was a student of Fine arts, at Government College of Art Chandigarh, he often rejected the beaten track and tried some thing different than the expected one. Some time he was loathed by some of his teachers, which hampered his experimentation. But he did not give up his determination and proved to be worthy of valid appreciation in the long run. His photographic experiment in printmaking was displayed in the annual exhibition of National Lalit Kala Akademi in Delhi 1992. He still experiments and has evolved a unique technique in executing his photographic art. His latest experiment in photography is a land mark in this newly accepted type of creative art at par with painting sculpture and graphic One needs creative vision for abstract and painterly photography which Kishore Shankar has. He treats the different subjects according to its innate characteristic for instance he makes a beautiful picture of a visitor to an art exhibition. Her dress is in perfect harmony with the surrounding paintings through colours and the motifs on the dress and she herself Stand beautifully next to the image of a cow that tries to greet her. Some time he experiments in photo shop in computer and comes out with interesting end results. Such as nocturnal lights, the imaginative impressions of galaxy or spiral movement of colored light foliage or dramatic scenes are eye catching

But most impressive among this series is the interior of the office where he has been working recently. A horizontal picture with vertical and horizontal motifs with contrast in light and shade is remarkable for its well composed creativity. His admirers think that it is not the end; rather it is his beginning with successful experimentation in handling lens and computer for art photography.
