| Artist - Ramdas Manikrao Thorat |
Ramas Thorat had his art education at Abhinava Kala Mahavidyalaya, Pune upto BFA. Then he displayed his work in many solo and group art exhibitions in reputed art galleries at Mumbai, Pune, Thane, Palghar, Jaipur etc. and received good public response for his presentations. He participated in many art camps at Bhopal, Palghar, Shillong, Pune, Nepal, Bangla Desh, South America etc. and thereby rendered his yeoman services for propagation of visual fine arts. He is a proud recipient of several awards from art promotional institutions at Pune, Satara, Mumbai etc. His works are in proud collection of reputed art collectors in India and abroad.
The present series highlights his thoughtful work in Acrylic colours on canvas revealing the omnipresent panorama and Grandeur in the beauty of Nature and their Wonders throughout the year in different seasons. He has been deeply obsessed by the eternal beauty of nature in various seasons and in the process of his art presentation duly captured the invisible language of visual consciousness, imprinting it in the form of pictorial imagery. This act of visual form painting is also called pictorial essence of vision.
He has depicted the interplay of space, sky, earth, water and soil in different forms so as to perceive its dynamic manifestation knownas ‘Chitramaya’ or ‘Chittamaya’ so as to present ‘illusory imagery’ and ‘illusory consciousness’. He has presented the interplay of temporal and environmental elements to focus on light, shadow, twilight, darkness, warmth, peace, coolness, solitude, fire, flame, density, sparsity, dense forests, lush meadows, gardens, ponds, lakes, streams, rivers, seas, oceans, homes, villages, cities, streets, markets etc. in his unique visual textural symphony of form, tone and rhythm.
It reflects the convergence of tangible and intangible qualities. He journeys from the vast expanse of the physical to the infinite subtleties of the metaphysical to aptly show the dynamic interplay of visible expressions and ongoing explorations. He has depicted a seamless blend of abstract sensibilities and the tangible representation in a typical tonal harmony of colours, textures, light and structures.
His visual compositions are enriched by organic forms and patterns depict landscapes resembling vast gardens or boundless carpets of infinite nature. Use of velvety green, subtle hues and tactile depth together enhance the visual perspectives of his creative endeavours transporting viewers to a State of cosmic sensitivity. The tranquil horizontality, the earth textures of the soil, the layered tones of vegetation and the juxtaposition of light and shadow create a harmonious visual symphony in the work that appeals to one and all.
