Bhu-Dhamma Pada – is an attempt to grasp the state of the primary embodiment of consciousness.  The primordial state, where being and non-being merge, and dissolve into the final and all-encompassing void.  It’s the ‘shunyata’ or the zero which in an endless act of divisions and multiplications, additions and subtractions, with other zeros remains the final ‘nothing’.  And in this alone can finally lie the act of ‘darshan’, where all material and mental creation finally dissolve into the state of primordial pureness.

Hansodnya feels that the hyper-activity of humans tends to destroy this state of purity and erodes the calmness required to truly create. Yet the artist has to move in and through a medium.  His difficult path is thus a movement through material towards its own negation such that the Divine may be glimpsed. The contexts of art have to be muted to reach the void.

Hansodnya’s works show a profound understanding of the materials he uses.  His workings in and through them however are not to necessarily enhance the full potential of the materials as is conventionally done, but to simultaneously negate their materialness to the state of non-materiality itself, moving towards the void.

भू-धम्म-पद. म्हणजे दृश्य चेतनेतील मूर्त भाव शुन्याच्या, स्थूल वस्तूरुप आकाराचे दर्शन होय. जिथे भाव शून्याला शुन्य भागतो-गुणतो-व्यापतो-वजा-अधिक करतो. माझ्या मते दृश्यरुप भू-धम्म-पद हे एक दृश्यकाव्य आहे. याचा अनुभव म्हणजे ‘भावनाशुन्यता’ किंवा ‘शुन्यदृश्यभाव’ असतो. दृश्यभावकाव्याचा हा अनुभव कालशून्यतेतील, अहंभावशुन्यतेच्या शुन्यकाळ पोकळीत घडत असतो. हा तोच शुन्यदृश्यभाव अनुभव असतो.

मानवाने आज पर्यंत निर्माण केलेंली मानसिक, बौध्दिक भावपोकळी व मानवानेच निर्माण केलेली प्रतिप्रकृतिसम कला, मानवाच्याच अतिरेकी विचार कृतीमुळे कला सुप्तावस्थेत मृत पडून आहे. या मृतावस्थेतील अवस्थेच्या संवेदी जाणिवेच्या चेतनभावरुप दर्शनाचा साक्षात्कार म्हणजे हे भू-धम्म-पद प्रदर्शन दर्शन होय. कला म्हणजे शुन्यता भाव या भाव जाणिवेचा प्रसाद मिळणे म्हणजेच प्रत्यक्ष साक्षात दर्शनाचा कला साक्षात्कार घडणे.

मती जिथे जड होते तिथे माती असते. त्या मातीत अनेक शक्यता दडलेल्या असतात. याचीच जाणिव झाल्याने याच जड चेतनेचे माध्यम म्हणून कलाकृती घडवताना भिंतीमाती सारखेच साधनमाध्यम निवडून दृश्य चैतन्यासाठीचा मार्ग कलाकृती रूपात निर्माण केला. समकालीन शहरातील पोतस्पर्श त्या स्पर्शातून होणारी जाणिव त्या जाणिवेतून स्वतःच्या अस्तित्वाचे दृश्य काव्य शोधणे हा माझ्या कलाकृती घडवण्यामागचा हेतू आहे. माती एक पोत अनेक, मती एक मिती अनेक, भूखंड एक खंड अनेक, अवकाश एक आकाश अनेक, दृष्टी एक दृश्य अनेक, शुन्य एक शून्यता अनेक, या जाणिवेतून माझा कलेचा प्रवास निरंतर अनित्य सुरू आहे. त्यामुळे एकंदरच माझ्या संपूर्ण कला प्रवास प्रदर्शनाचा दृश्य विचार अनुभव हा “एकम् सत् विप्रा बहुधा वदन्ति” हाच आहे.

Hansodnya Tambe

Hansodnya Tambe is an artist based in Bombay. His Practice is based on an indigenous awareness of visual consciousness.He always found the concept of art mysterious and felt that the artwork is a way of knowing art. From then onwards he began to examine his experience of experiencing art. And so, began to feel the magical around him. As the connection with his native soil became more profound, he started using useless newsprint paper mache,turmeric powder, homemade kajal etc for tonal values, lime stone wall plastering, threads and ropes on plywood while creating artwork. He sharpened his visual consciousness through a deeper experience of his surroundings.
