K.Y.Das presents naturescapes and abstracts
|
The art horizons are expanding to include everyone who can get hold of a paintbrush and a bottle of paint. Step into the ICCR hall at Ravindra Bharati and this if the firm conclusion you can draw. On show are the paintings of K.Y. Das, a CCMB employee and a self-trained artist who started walking the lonely beat some 13 years back. There are 84 paintings on display, showing the many streams of thought and art processes that the artist has nursed at one point of time or the other.
Some canvases flutter in the fan breeze while the others are kept on the ground. There are naturescapes, abstracts and some daubs of realism where Das tries to paint the feminine. "The thing that moves me and inspires me is the social inequity. With my realism I try to connect and show the feminine power: Stree Shakti," says the artist. So, his paintings show the inspiration from Kerala where the artist dwells on the landscapes and humanscapes. If the geometry is somewhat gawky in the realistic naturescapes the saving grace are the four black and white pieces where the elements of the sea are brought alive.
