Nature Spirits
November 5, 2019 @ 8:00 am - November 11, 2019 @ 5:00 pm IST
Gestalt feeling of visual completeness drives Mumbai based eminent painter Jyotsna Kadam to the peaks and mountains of the alluring Sahyadri ranges since childhood where she believes she belongs. Her Paintings focus on the response to magnanimous, naturally occurring muses and the natural edifices and nature spirits which enliven them.
Music tends to influence and urge Jyotsna’s artistic visual expression who is a pakhwaj player herself, and ardent listener of Indian classical music. The works created with these muses of nature, musical rhythms then find a pulsating, energetic state of existence on the canvas or paper mediums as directed by the artist.
In the Jyotsna’s recent suite of works, one can decipher the hidden glories of nature which could perhaps never be made visible to the world if not deftly unraveled by the artist’s observations and deep engagement with the subject using a rare alternating colour palette of dark and deep hues with sudden moments of light revelations using vibrant colours. Her works are seen to be replete with deep textural intricacies, layers upon layers of acrylic paint revealing and concealing as she determines their purpose.
The viewers take back with them that lingering call of nature’s rhythm, which is like the pulse for every living being on earth, urban or rural. Jyotsna Kadam’s suite of paintings on display stand as a testament to the existence of nature spirits which beckon silently invoking memory or reality to experience the tranquility we all so desire.
