The name itself suggests sarcasm.

This is with regards to my new series of paintings under concept 
Open Heart for Earthworm is about the modern and technological advance and in the process ignorance of the nature. Superficial living has gained much prominence. The simple proof is the cement jungle which inhibiting the most helpful creature, earthworm from its existence on the ground. Aren’t we improving our life- style on the cost of their living? Thoughts as such do stimulate our mind, but without any positive outcome. We just seem to think, like an ass. Ass in the series represents common man, who always looks deeply engrossed in thoughts such is the mental and physical condition of people who act as guided by political, social and communal guidance. Hardly anyone tries to be different.

Dhobi- Ghat is visual and metaphorical in nature which represents the cleaning of clothes and sarcastically raises the question of cleansing the soul. The images of hard- working men, white clothes, colorful clothes, tied bundles and so have their meaning associated with life of every individual. A Dhobi- washer man washes every kind of soiled clothes and is contended with his profession. But the question is even if a person wears clean clothes, does his soul too gets a timely wash? Here the target is towards the mass which has superficial simple living but act shrewd and cunning when it comes to the misuse of power for personal benefits. As Kabir’s say, “Kapdon ka mail toh dhobi saaf kare, manka mail kaun kare?” is frequently experienced in these artworks.
The series also captures the realistic based visuals, through art of photography. It is about the transition from old to new. How the attitudes, preferences and love for materialistic gain has changed the way modern human lives.


Tathi Premchand‘s his recent work: ‘Open Heart for Earthworm’
Tathi has come a long way in his creation of artworks. His horizons have expanded drastically. Along with the skill on canvas, he now portrays the feelings by experimenting photography, installations and merging of mediums of expressions. His recent work is ideally matured than his earlier works. It speaks of contemporary situation in sarcastic, humorous and satirical manner. His work is based on the back drop of current issues and problems faced universally. It speaks people’s mind. The work not only appeals the thought but evokes reaction in mind of an observer. He is currently working on series called ‘Open Heart for Earthworm’. The name itself suggests sarcasm.
In this series he concentrates on the dynamism of politics in every field and the misuse of power at the same time. It is ironic that people see, hear and follow the power which ultimately proves destructive to them, but they have no choice to reject and discard this system as there is no option of perfection for the system revival. People are reduced to ass where in they seem to ponder on issues but cannot react but wait, watch and move towards doom. Modernization has sucked the blood of mother earth and given us a temporary life which seems beautiful. The danger of global warming has come up and griping us rapidly. Use of modern equipments and development of cement forest is cutting down nature cruelly. Still we prefer it….because, according to Tathi…we are addicted to the modern ways of luxury and comfort at the cost of natural gifts and reducing the number of years of our own life.
