Abstraction: Path Unknown (Online exhibition)

Online show by Prithvi Fine Art and Cultural centre in collaboration with Artsy.

Technique? To a ballet of the heart’s needle. The points and punctuations on the picture plane now dripping, now rising into free flight; now gravitating then galvanizing around a centre.

The work is not a copy of life, no mirror held up to the outward appearances that so often mask the inward distress. Rather, the art form has cut through to the vitality beneath and interpenetrate, enchanting, ravishing colour combinations.

Ecstasy and uplift, the euphoric dance performed by the artist’s brush; the material of her “choreography” not the actually moving figures of dancers, with all their range or gestures. No, her dancers are gesturing lines and the colours of her painting, and by which she also touches the heart.

And so, the artist is seen pressing on beyond the boundaries of the visible into the realm of energy hid in our minds. Her lines, shapes and colours are thereby certainly charged with spiritualized sensations.
