My paintings are not the subjects of interpretation but
composed happiness- Prakash Waghmare
Creation is not possible without experiences; either physical or virtual. This is a fact that reverberates throughout the series of latest paintings by abstract artist Prakash Waghmare. The exhibition of these paintings will be held from January 29 onwards till February 4 at Jehangir Art Gallery, Mumbai.
He expresses his personal feelings
and sensitivity to people, places and situations. But surely these paintings
will make viewers empathetic with artist’s shades of experiences.
Prakash pours out his heart as he
confesses… “While penning my paintings I feel myself being carried away
from the physical world into the frame of virtuality.
Basically, I am uncertain why I feel
like painting such images. And it would be no wonder that the answer to this
doubt would not be simple as well. The years of living experiences along with
minute details of natural world around and within me, remain rooted in my soul.
That firsthand knowledge of states, situations, emotions or sensations and
minute details of temperaments make me anxious and their images inspire me to
create paintings. And it is through these varied experiences, novelty is
acknowledged.
Painting these novelties is
like experiencing transition of light through windowpane and gauging into every
inexperienced element of darkness. These experiences can be either current or
bygone ones. But certainly we cannot ignore the existence of experiences.
My paintings are not the subjects of
interpretation but composed happiness.
The experiences derived from my
paintings inspire me to live, give me distinct insight. Colors in my paintings
vocalize realization and my colors may go beyond their conventional horizons.
While the truth of experiences peeps
from paintings, they somewhere reflect the innate traits and therefore the
shades which sway unconditionally and enthusiastically, being captivated by
love of the rays of light and currents of breeze, prove their
existence.
Five elements of life Earth, Fire, Water,
Air and Sky are present as the eternal sensations in my paintings and
definitely establish communication with you.
Precisely, the essence of all these
vital elements project in my paintings and still every painting has its own
language of expression to convey its distinction.
Me and my paintings are so much
involved in each other that, existence of paintings is equivalent to my
existence. I wish to convey these personal experiences to you through this
series of paintings.”
