These paintings are based on things or concepts which flared up our imagination as a child in the Indian stories which were read/ narrated to us. The vividness of these characters is very specific to ones own imagination which absorbed us triggering different emotions. In the current works I used geometry and simple geometric forms in composing them. The brass sheets which were used as a background were etched and are given an antique look..like the paintings themselves Geometry-the Process The effort is to perceive complex objects or forms and reduce them into simpler and basic geometric forms like the straight line, triangle, square n circle/ Search for an order n proportion in the forms/ images and to look at n understand the interrelationships between those basic elements. Perceiving the forms In an abstract way while keeping the basic essence/ meaning intact and translating them into geometric compositions is so fascinating and absorbing as the order unfolds and as one search’s for new meanings in the compositions The whole process is like reliving the childhood where one opened up one’s imagination to the vivid stories that were narrated during ones childhood
