Event Description : "Hue-Borne" a painting exhibition by Celebrated documentary film maker, Anu Malhotra eminent film-maker’s venture into the world of art.
Celebrated documentary film maker, Anu Malhotra whose versatility has her taken into the world of art, is all set to showcase her solo exhibition, Hue-Borne. Curated by Kishore Singh, the show will be on display first at the Visual Arts Gallery, India Habitat Centre and then carried forward at Art Alive Gallery, Panchsheel Park. Director- Producer-turned- painter Anu will be presenting around 30 large canvases and the proceeds of which will go in supporting the NGO, Video Volunteers.
To contextualize Anu’s work, you have to know at least a little bit about how she paints, allowing colours to run free even as she exercises a degree of control. Colours collide, create streams and passages, new palettes are born; she wields neither brush, nor knife, bringing their flow to a halt through a tilt of the canvas, a jerk here, an impediment there. It is a physical process made more challenging given her propensity to work on a larger-than-life scale. Layer by layer, like pouring magma, she builds up an almost corporeal structure for the painting, thickening the pigments to allow them texture and a physicality that is almost sculptural. The depth builds resonance. And it brings to the fore primal questions about the content – surely, but surely, this must be a landscape. Distorted, seen like a kaleidoscope, an evocation of remembered images – but certainly, perhaps, maybe a landscape?
Anu’s work is not pure abstraction. She likes to leave behind hints of what might have motivated her when she worked on a particular canvas – and remember, this is harder to do than you imagine when you consider her technique of painting without apparent interference. Not that she is entirely averse to occasionally picking up a brush or a knife to lend a suggestion of form. Is that a sunrise or a golden orb melting into its own colour? Is that a forest you spot? A universe underwater? In that truest sense, hers is an impressionistic palette. There are hints to what she might have created, clues that tease and beguile.
