An exemplar of art that seeks redemption from representation, for Jeram Patel the ‘reality of the image’ was more important than the ‘image of reality’. Through acts of elimination and excavation, he arrived at a non-figurative and non-objective articulation of the visual image. A pictorial language that appropriated no particular object, landscape, or figure, Patel’s precise and distinct images disregarded the divide between cognition and emotion, real and surreal, the seen and the sensed. His blow-torched works signify how material alone is of supreme consideration.
