WONDER

It is a matter of wonder indeed, how objectification take various shapes ages after ages. The history of women objectification has made us perceive how women are being objectified by not only men, but also by artist, society, and women. This series talks of tales: heard-unheard, seen-unseen, beyond canvas, beyond colours. Objectification is not limited to streets and screen, rather canvas also objectifies the subject, depending on the brush-holder, the eyes that vision the object. This series is a counter to those eyes. In Preema’s words: “Objectified is a resistance against your objectification!”

This Objectified series self-reflexively stands as a counter to women objectification where women are commoditized sexually by patriarchal eyes. Preema’s attempt in canvases speaks explicitly through bold strokes and composition that’s reveals her own sexuality through imagery narration. “To love your own body is to own your innerself,” Preema believes. Her body on the surfaces always act as a dominating factor. Body is supposed to be the centre of concentration, without it is integration it’s hardly possible to achieve the actual context of connecting dots. Hence, as an artist, she keeps connecting dots, body parts; its existential reassurance is a significant attribute in her works. The vivid use of solid color on surfaces creates a fantasy which is very necessary to depict the objectification of womanhood through sexual connotation.

Later, the figurative compositions shape her performances to enhance the ability of its inherent quality. Body is power; this power could be transmitted in every form of artistic expressions. Preema’s figurative series are highly ‘controversial’, and it provokes the mind of a viewer to reflect and analyse the context of women being objectified. Media exploration is one of her core strengths of expertise. Her works of this series are widely explored and experimented through different media. Particularly for these objectifying series she used metal, steel, pastel, oil and various other media to capture the fragile yet bold characters of body parts.
