Summary
- Maity's art adds soul to modern airports, introducing cultural richness.
- Six paintings merge into an 8x100 ft canvas titled Jagriti.
- An installation features 8,500 brass bells representing India's energy.
The recently inaugurated Noida International Airport now features the captivating art of Padma Shri awardee Paresh Maity, aiming to imbue the modern transit hub with cultural soul. Maity's vision is to introduce travelers to a region's richness, especially those who might not visit traditional galleries.
His prominent artwork at the airport is a monumental 8x100 ft canvas titled Jagriti (Awakening). This single piece is comprised of six distinct panels. These panels visually represent iconic Uttar Pradesh landmarks like the Taj Mahal, the Kumbh Mela, the ghats of Varanasi, and the Sarayu river.
Maity has also created an immersive installation called Mystic Abode. This 12.5-foot-tall structure is composed of 8,500 brass bells, designed to evoke India's spiritual and cultural energy through gentle sound. The artwork aligns with the airport's design, which itself draws inspiration from Uttar Pradesh's heritage, such as Benares ghats and regional havelis.
