Event Description : Art Alive Gallery presents ‘The Great Outdoors’ a solo show of the recent Artworks of artist Nayanaa Kanodia.
In spite of the lure of the sophisticated creature comforts indoors, man embraces nature. Ideas flow, senses come alive, when man becomes one with nature. Nayanaa Kanodia explores this aspect in her latest venture The Great Outdoors. Her body of work shows the close bond man has with nature. A union that helps him regains his lost innocence, enjoying a solace that can be derived from the peace and quiet of nature. Although a number of the paintings are set indoors trees, foliage and birds are skillfully integrated.
There are several layers in Kanodia’s paintings. After encountering the humored portrayal of a charming scene the complexity and nuance of her vision emerges. Her narrative uses colour, intricate patterns and humor to create alluring images. Time plays an integral part in her paintings and she has managed to capture a moment, as though time has stood still, with great conviction.
Kanodia’s work is a salient artistic combination of a still life composition with a message. She is a painter of women who are on the cusp of telling their story. The excitement of what is the story going to be. The woman on the bicycle opens up a pastoral picture of married life with a dog that brings a smile to the face. It is an interesting mixture of East and West, the open umbrella accentuating the lure of the woman. Still life compositions of domestic middle class interiors with a collection of flowers are an interesting oddity when put in context of soulful women in saris. It is as if two genres work successfully side by side, a surprise at every turn of the page. The imaginative journeys started by her creations can never have an end.
About the artist :
Self taught Nayanaa Kanodia (b1950) pioneered Naif L’Art in India, a genre till then unseen and unheard of in India in a contemporary context. In 1998, she was chosen from among artists of all The Commonwealth Countries by The Commonwealth Institute to have a Solo Show to inaugurate their newly renovated Complex in London. Looking at the contribution she has made to L’Art Naïve, she was invited by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London in 2001 to demonstrate her painting techniques in this prestigious Museum and also exhibit her paintings. Besides this, Nayanaa is the first Indian of non-British origin whose works are in the collection of the ‘Paintings in Hospitals’, UK. She lives and works in Mumbai.
