Harsha comes from a family of sculptors
Harsha comes from a family of sculptors. It took around a month for the
shipment to reach from Gujarat to Perth," he divulges. Interestingly, Harsha’s
piece has been carved out of fossilised sandstone. Relating how that helped him
in his own artistic journey, he says, "I learnt life lessons like the philosophy
of art.Transcending international borders, Harsha Vardhan Durugadda recently
showcased his artwork at the 14th Sculpture By The Sea exhibition held at
Cottesloe beach in Perth..Harsha’s artwork is based on the concept of ‘fish
love’, which is inspired by different philosophers in the world. Just like our
shadow moves according to the direction of the sun, our work should also be
dynamic and reflect the different times and phases," elaborates the 26-year-old.
I spent three months carving the sculpture, which is 9-feet high and weighs four
tonnes. The golden-yellow colour shines when the sun’s rays fall on it. Also,
transporting it safely without damaging it wasn’t easy either. "The concept of
‘fish love’ is synonymous with selfish love. "I researched for a month and got
the stone from Jaisalmer because it has life-like quality. What’s heartening to
see is that artists from diverse cultural backgrounds have similar thought
process," says Harsha. Carving a sandstone of such a magnitude was challenging
because it was difficult to move it. The shadow in the artwork reflects
dynamism. Notably, Harsha is the only Indian among 73 artists from across the
world whose artworks have been put on display.Harsha’s sculpture ‘fish
love’Describing the challenges, Harsha explains, "Finding the material and the
stone that goes with the form was difficult. My approach towards work China Wholesale aquarium
air pump and work ethics, such as what’s the purpose of creating art and my
role in the process, became clearer. " As someone who has won awards at several
international art shows, how has the young artist’s perception towards art
evolved over the years? "Personally, meeting artists from across the world and
listening about their art practises makes for an amazing exchange of knowledge
and views and helps in forming a deeper connect with the field. There has to be
an ecological balance and we need to protect our nature by upholding it, and not
just focusing on our needs
