Event Description : EXHIBITION "Floating Memories" solo show of paintings by Artist Padmini Mehta
Art is a medium of expression of one’s inner most feelings and sensitivity .The peculiarity of that expression is artistic creativity. Art is an aesthetic object, it ‘s meant to be looked at and appreciated for its intrinsic value.
Padmini Mehta was born and brought up in the blessed city of Varanasi (Benaras) .A natural affinity for holy images, and the cultural, historical and educational milieu became the inspirational spring for her art. Her love and concern for nature is an intrinsic part of her personality and these were the recurrent motifs in her earlier landscape paintings.
It was fascinating for her to find and then juxtapose the architectural form of each historic city with its river as a reflection of civilization and development. That is why she has created a combined identity of each of the cities. This led to a closer gaze and she has now produced a collage of subtle impressions, of several cities, in one combined picture space .
This approach created a unique visual identity for the burgeoning cities of modern India and other countries she has visited and explored.
Her present series as cityscape attempts to capture different places---big , small ,religious, modern, rich in history, soaked in tradition, lucky to be regional flag bearers ---as heritage symbols. Her paintings are an offering of gratitude and concern for their unique character, mood, architectural value, color . She thinks that she must capture in time the still-flowing water bodies which deserve special attention lest their life-enabling character changes for the worst and we are left with concrete jungles, haphazardly developed and dirty river sites.
The idea of developing these art works is to show deep thought, decoration, contemporary style, travel experience and desire to protect heritage symbols and to reinforce the myriad beauty of the land as she has seen it. She is trying to blend the modern and the conventional style with various techniques, material and application of colors. She applies different color strokes as her language and tools to show the culture, character and identity of the city. So, for instance, gold is used to show the city’s richness, its past ,its weighty values. Humbly, she wishes this work evokes empathy for those who gave us these monuments, their colors, their artistic motifs, structures and their stories of human life……
The paintings try to catch the ever-changing, kaleidoscopic vibrancy of each city—Cityscapes that tell of days bygone.. and of today… with its hurly-burly, the sounds and smells and the systematic breathing, heavy or gentle… life’s continuous magic…
