Feb – 25th Feb'12: Pradarshak presents “Play On” semi-abstract figurative
paintings by Someshwar Patil
A
young artist from Nasik, Someshwar Patil has worked on a popular theme of music
– something that garners mass appeal. His paintings depict a rhythmic quality,
simple in approach and rendering.
Uncomplicated
compositions and primary colours make stark backdrops against which the
musician gains prominence. This is the young artist’s second solo exhibition
and he depicts versatility in two-three different styles. A glance at the
paintings shows that the human form is stylised in some bordering on the
semi-abstract, filled with pattern, lending a textural quality to the canvas.
On the other hand, are a few canvases that depict stark realism in format and
treatment. Yet again, there are a few instances that portray an intermediate
course, where the artist seems to add what appear like whiskers to the human
visage. Symbolic in nature, these portray fearlessness or in this case, a
self-possessed confidence of the performer in front of his audience. The human
form too is filled with a series of fine vertical lines instead of body colour,
adding on to the depth of the rendering.
The
artist has accomplished his G. D. Art from Chitrakala Mahavidyalaya, Nasik and
his Dip. Art Ed. from Sir. J. J. School of Art, Mumbai. He is currently teaching
at the Sadhu Vaswani International School and resides in Mumbai.
Thanks for the updates received from time to time.In the present series, Patil's works seem to be new in conception and execution.Some of his works look like digitally created.Shadow of blue & green play a vital role & this has given the overpowering divinity to what we see with our eyes in his canvas.
