Portraying his Art in Stories, Amshu Chukki
Amshu Chukki is a craftsman based out of Bengaluru who investigates the subjects of the real world and fiction through sight and sound work of art in a way that considers the amazing idea of built scenes and strange spaces.
He moved on from the Faculty of Fine Arts, M.S. College of Baroda in 2014. He was recorded in the ‘Forbes India 30 under 30’ in 2016 and is a beneficiary of the Inlaks Fine Arts Award in 2014. His presentation show, The Tour, was held at Chatterjee and Lal in 2017. He has been important for some lofty shows and residencies both broadly and globally.
He is investigating more current strategies for narrating through video craftsmanship. For, in any event, when his work is caught on record, it isn’t confined to video itself. It consolidates different components like establishments, projections, text and time-slip by pictures. He even uses devices, like channels on Instagram, to loan a particular vibe to his works.
Amshu Chukki loves understanding stories. Simply that he picks fine arts, as opposed to simple words, to portray his stories. Take, for example, his work called ‘Mountain Man’. Made while on his residency with Khoj in Pune in 2015, which had occurred in a workmanship deco construction, the fine art recounts the tale of a man who vanished into the mountain. This site-explicit establishment changes the watcher into somebody peeking in through an opening in the entryway of a Victorian restroom, looking onto hills of grass in the bath.
Chukki’s excursion as a craftsman has taken him to the St Moritz Art Masters Residency Program in 2014 at St Moritz, Switzerland, and the Darling Foundry, India-Québec Residency in 2015, aside from winning him a large group of grants. His craft has been shown at India: Maximum City at ChesaPlanta, Zuoz, St Moritz Art Masters 2014, in Switzerland, Art for Young Collectors III at Galerie Mirchandani+Steinruecke in Mumbai in 2014, and at Chatterjee and Lal in Mumbai in 2015.
