ISEE TARAH

Renowned artist Amitabh Ashesh is showing his recent work in oil on canvas and pastel and charcoal on art paper in a solo art exhibition at Kamalnayan Bajaj Art Gallery, Bajaj Bhavan, Nariman Point, Mumbai 400021 from 27 to 31 Oct. 2024. It will be open there for free public viewing daily between 11 am to 7 pm.

This show is curated by Carmela Brunetti.

Amitabh Ashesh is an alumnus of Stanford University’s Art Dept. USA. He has been trained at Stanford University USA during 1988-1994 with Bay Area Figurative movement under Frank Lobdell and other stalwarts. He has been a creative Director at JWT and Saatchi. He is also an alumnus of IIT Bombay. He has made about 120 paintings since 2014 and about 40-45 works from that series will be displayed in this exhibition.

The present series showcases the original creative work of Amitabh Ashesh on ‘Yufism’ in oil on canvas and the pastel and charcoal on art paper. It provides a new class of imagery on the ‘Yufism’ compositional platform where scenic figurative and invisible elements share their attributes, the windows becomes blocks of light, the rain drops, trail of ornamental beads and ripping sea waves are worn as a skirt etc. Each painting is accompanied by a titular poem, elaborating its meaning and thereby arousing viewers with its parallel literary association.

He has used conceptual innovations of Yufism such as scenic elements in human figuration, anthropomorphic and recursive scenery, exploded objects and blended forms for artistic effect. A collective recollection of various scenery in quotidian Indian, life find a prominent place in his work such as Bangalore’s famed Brigade Road, home cooking specialities, street dogs feed by kind strangers etc. His work is innovative and eloquent and shares an instant dialogue with the viewers due to its clarity and lucidity.
