For nearly 2000 years, the most generally accepted ways of using metaphors was for rhetorical purposes. Metaphorical language was thought to be merely ornamental – the seasoning of language, exploited for effect by poets and politicians. It is now assumed, by linguists, that metaphors are important tools of cognition and communication, an essential process and product of thought, providing us with unfamiliar ways of conceptualizing familiar things, and familiar ways of
conceptualizing unfamiliar things (Lakoff & Johnson, 1980; Ortony, 1979).
Being a keen observer, Ratnadeep Adivrekar is constantly exploring the human mind’s meaning-making process, through perceiving one thing in terms of another. He believes that there is a basic and pervasive need to invent and invest meaning in one’s world. His paintings in turn are meaning-making processes which operate to create new meanings against a backdrop of existing ones. Ratnadeep’s point of reference for representation comes from a bank of randomly collected photographs.A photograph bridges the gap between primal images and linear historicity, building images from the combination of discrete units. Ratnadeep’s works can also be viewed on the basis of the Jain doctrine of Non-Absolutism, anekāntavāda, which is a logical system that functions in part to identify and refute views which claim to be absolutely true although can be considered only
partially true according to Jain metaphysics and logic.
