Beautiful and Sublime: September 2011

Thursday, September 15, 2011

Watercolour on paper, done in 2005, from an old painting (early '60s) by some unknown painter. Loved the chiaroscuro (sharp contrast of light and shade) effect as well as the painting itself. So I painted it again.

About Chandra Bhanu Gupta

I am trying my best to coat my art with the glorious, romantic feeling of the past, when life was a poetry in motion. The mundane necessities of life has always to be balanced with beauty, aesthetics and an eternal feeling for the sublime. That gives life the silken touch it needs to make it worth carrying forward. It is so necessary to bridge the gap between the past and the present. Figure art, nature in the form of landscapes and still life pictures are the manifestations of my feelings and consciousness. Beauty gives the most wonderous and hopeful touch to every creation of God. Be it the shepherdess of the hills, the ponderous lady, the lady with a broom, the sensual maiden, the lady buying vegetables, the one carrying a bucket of water, the late evening glow or the handmade rod bender - they all are symbols of beauty, patience, hope and strength. Coming back to the material part, even a single pencil stroke on a piece of paper constitutes art. It is up to the vision of the viewer to see it, feel it and hold it in his heart forever. Besides, I also take great interest in Philosophy, Economics, Spirituality, writing essays and humourous poems.
