Event Description : "Prashanti" a solo show by artist Pushpa Bagrodia, curated by UMA NAIR is a series of about 50 paintings that delve deep into nature’s rhythms with watercolors that span small and medium and large formats.
About The Works :
Six or so paintings of a large format will be displayed in the show that will be inaugurated by actor Jaya Bachchan. These works have their origin in a series of perspective studies of flowers and plants, in which the position of the horizon line has been shifted within an intuition of a nature lover. The resulting “structures” of flowers serve as the framework for the development of the works in which flowers gradually take form and spiritual substance. Scraps of narrative become discernible and relate to one another, suggestive of the aesthetic typical of a meditative mood.Also in the show are a series of seascapes and plant studies allied with the beauty springing from the artist’s brush .Critic Uma Nair who has penned an essay for a book states that "Pushpa Bagrodia is Indua’s Georgia OKeefe-her works emanate a poetics of banality, an aesthetic of the outskirts shot through with echoes of nature’s rhythms.”
Elsewhere, the silhouette of palms and bamboo stalks and leaves fill the spaces of the work that seem to stem from organic laws of painting more than from a requirement for narrative. Rather than the staging of a guiding narration, Pushpa Bagrodia’s viewpoint is articulated in a manner of painting the world that surrounds her in her lush landscaped home at Vasant Kunj Farms
She envisages her subjects as a concentrated construction in process, interrupted in each painting and continued in the next, reaching towards an end that is more utopian and eternal in tonality. She thus presents us with the “experience of a painting” rather than the “painting of an experience”, entifying in the pictorial field the subtle blend of the Impressionist and the Realist schools of the past.A book on her works will also be released by Jaya Bachhan.
