ARTABOVE… ARTBENEATH
Nature encompasses everything…and while doing so, provides
boundless scope for fascination and inspiration - two ingrained traits in an
artist’s mind. Ever contemplating, the creative mind transforms these thoughts
and emotions into works of art.
Continuing to explore Nature as a subject, my ‘ARTABOVE…
ARTBENEATH’series dwells on concepts on the incredible Mother Earth. The art
forms are sculpted. They are carved. They are rhythmically flowing forms,
enhanced and beautified with highly impressive earthen colours.
Titled“The Sedimentaries”,the collection includes some
of the recent creations based on rock formations and fossils. A surge of ideas
kept me engrossed with an endless passion. Keeping colours to the minimum and
using mixed media techniques made the journey exciting and satisfying.
As I place the art works for your discerning
evaluation, I am reminded of a famous quotation - “The mission of Art is to
represent Nature, not to imitate her” - William Morris.
I hope you will appreciate my humble efforts,
commitment to aesthetics and innovative use of art materials in this unique
experimentation exercise.
