Drop Overview, Lore:
"Home is where the heart is, I guess,” rings quietly through the profound artistic journey of Bhare, whose narrative unfolds through a muted collection of contemplative artworks. Drawn from a childhood marked by the absence of home to the family name, the artist's odyssey weaves through small apartments and townhomes, with each dwelling leaving its indelible mark on the intricate tapestry of their identity. The quest for a space to call their own becomes a poignant refrain, echoing throughout the exhibition.
Against the backdrop of this search for permanence, the artist explores the learned desire to create a home that mirrors personal identity and fosters holistic well-being. "Building a Happier Home" becomes a visual symphony of color and form, each brushstroke carrying the weight of familial expectations and personal aspirations.
In partnership with Nifty Gateway, Bhare brings his theme of "Building a Happier Home" to a conclusion, a series that commenced in October 2023. This marks the third and final installment in the series, and Bhare now extends an invitation to artists to help draw this installment to a close. In a call to action, he encouraged two artists to reinterpret and recreate their own versions of cherished artworks from the series. The upcoming drop will feature three new artworks, each contributing to the collaborative endeavor of reshaping and personalizing this imaginative world.
This collaboration not only signifies the culmination of Bhare's creative narrative but also opens the door for a broader artistic community to leave their unique imprint on the evolving concept of a "Happier Home." As the virtual space becomes a canvas for diverse expressions, the synergy between Bhare's original vision and the creative contributions of fellow artists promises to make this concluding chapter a vibrant celebration of collaborative artistry.
