Title- Way to Home  

Size-24x20x48 inches (Space taken-2x4 feet)

Medium-cement, terracotta clay, cloths, metal wire, cardboard. etc

Year-2020

 My studio is located in badlapur. Badlapur is one of the growing town for new construction sites. Here too many migrated workers from all over India surviving with their families. ‘Way to home’ is a tribute to these migrated workers who walk their home in a time of lockdown. I try to document their struggle in small size sculptures.

I wish to bring to your kind attention my web site where the works which have been displayed in my shows, ‘Polymorphism’, ‘ The Story of the Silenced’ and the recently concluded, ‘Choral Monologues’ have been displayed. Please do take the time to go through my website and do give me your valuable feedback, I very much appreciate it.

My works are a reflection of the surroundings I perceive and I strive to work today, as I will in the future to remain the voice of the Silenced… Best Regards

  A Solo Exhibition by Devidas Agase 

Curated by Sushma sabnis at Jehangir Art Gallery Mumbai 2019

In nature, adaptations of any kind are devised by either a predator or a prey for survival. In the case of human beings however, the predator and prey are interchangeable positions reflecting power. 

Devidas Agase believes that human beings have become like colourful multi-limbed puppets, who he anoints as protagonists in all his works. Each puppet figure is singing its song reflecting its situations. When numerous such monologues are sung simultaneously, they sound like a chorus. A Choral Monologue takes birth and this is what the artist brings to the show. Each monologue is different from the other yet, in a chorus, they all sound like one song. A song of dissent. While human beings today are battling numerous socio-political, cultural or religious issues, they are also battling personal issues. In this show, Devidas focuses on a small cross section of humanity, the Farmers, and joins in their choral monologues using the language of mythology. “
