Shikh sabbir - Latest News Update, Information, Photos & Videos on Shikh sabbir at Lokmat Times

Kochi, March 16 An emotive artistic work that has an underlying reference to violence stemming from man-animal confrontations, exemplified by the brutal killing of a pregnant elephant by feeding it with explosive-laden pineapple, is getting noticed at the Kochi Muziris Biennale.The tusker met with a horrific death at Ambalappara in Kerala's Palakkad district on May 27, 2020, after eating the fruit filled with country-made crackers which exploded in its mouth.The blast was so powerful that the poor animal ran around the village in searing pain, unable to eat for days.Finally, it entered a river and stood there with its trunk and mouth immersed in water till it breathed its last two days later.Shikh Sabbir Alam, a contemporary artist from Bangladesh, has now recreated this incident, which received worldwide attention.Shikh Sabbir has put up a total of six acrylic paintings on display at the Biennale, including the works about the Garden; Magic House 1,2,3; Elephants and Fruit; and White Rabbit.The creations which showcase the flora and fauna from tortoises to elephants and fruits resemble much like a dream. At the same time, it is mystical as well."My pictures resemble the vision that slowly materialiaes before you when you open your eyes after a long sleep. The attempt is to guide viewers through the display of pictures using pastel colours to experience the wonders being depicted on the canvas. The colour of a flower or a fruit is enough to inspire original creations," said Alam.Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
