Jeetin Rangher
I am very sensitive to my environment, both the natural as well as social. I am concerned about the human interventions up on natural order and natural world. The supremacy that man tries to establish over nature, a kind of colonizing and displacing natural habitats is one of the concerns that I take into the premises of my art, especially painting.
My performances are based on my observations of our social living. It is a response or critical reflection of our social as well as political behavior.
Jeetin Rangher is Bangalore based multidisciplinary artist. With an education in painting and design, his interest in the Arts is nurtured by his sensitivity to the surrounding, nature and social environment. He initiated the Green World Art Festival in November 2010, continued in 2011, 2012. He has been working with different communities in conflicted zones in Kashmir India. HEALING HANDS- ART INTERVENTION IN CONFLICT ZONES is a project conducted in Jammu and Kashmir. Through his expressions in the visual Arts, Jeetin’s main concern over the years has been man’s intervention in the natural World. His performances are responses and critical reflections on our social, cultural as well as political behaviour. The artist has been intensively involved with community art and special kids conducting workshops with them. His recent project Art Adda (under IFA’s project 560) was an intervention into found space in heavily populated and cosmopolitan city Bangalore. Through his performances the artist takes his body into public spaces to interact with the audience. Jeetin says my works are more on self-healing works are about transformation and change through sharing and connecting. It’s meant to be raw and subtle; intense and beautiful. I want to shake people by shaking myself. I believe the body is the most nostalgic element, the most vivid, vital, dynamic, powerful and beautiful, one where the past, present and future coexist, where life and death make synthesis, where I can find my fears and hopes, my memories and most importantly my strength, drive and spirit. More recently has focused on creating site-specific performances that are not planned in advance, but made in response to a location that is selected on arrival. He has been involved in art activism through his performances. He has been part of numerous performance and other festivals, and multidisciplinary arts projects in India and South Asia. http://artaddaindia.blogspot.in/, Soch Studio, recently he has been part of Serendipity Art Festival, Colombo Binnale, Jaipur Art Summit to name a few.
