"Meditative Process".....imaginative abstract landscapes by Indian artist Manisha Vedpathak

 I have been enjoying the process of painting my recent series. I use collaged papers on the canvas. I create shapes and forms around and in between these collaged pieces keeping my theme of Secret Garden in mind. Painting around creating shapes, covering shapes, excavating shapes to reveal new shapes. Its a meditative process. The interaction between these shapes is what I find most exciting. 

I find myself having  conversations with my works while its in process. I have loved the end results and I feel that the viewers will also enjoy these paintings.

Exhibition in Rotterdam.....by Indian abstract artist Manisha Vedpathak

Have been away from my blog for really long time. Had a marriage in the family , my younger daughter joined Erasmus University in Rotterdam, Holland. Had been with her in Rotterdam for a month. During that time I met a very warm personality Zoe  Cochia, when I visited her gallery Niffo Galerie/ Recycle studio . Here are some pics taken in her Gallery .
 

I found her Galerie very interesting and active. She gave me an opportunity to exhibit in her group show themed ,"Potato..Home coming", which  was held on 7th Oct'2018. I wasn't able to attend the show as I had already returned to India but I handed over two of my small paintings to her which were exhibited in the show. Here are the two paintings:


It's a small 20x20 cms , ink medium on canvas. The theme being potato, the two potatoes in the painting represent me and my younger daughter who is studying in Rotterdam and the blue water represents Holland which is famous for it's canals . The symbols in the painting are the adinkra symbol Gye Nyame, which is for supreme God.

Lazy Week

This week has started with a lazy feeling. Last week was pretty good .Hosted a preValentine open house at my studio.I had showcased most of my small paintings and had a pretty good sale.

A very big Thank you to all of my near and dear friends and visitors who dropped in to appreciate my art. It feels so nice when someone even talks about your work.And feel proud especially when you see the painting adding vibrancy to the atmosphere in it's new home.Very soon I will be posting photos of some of those art lovers who bought my paintings.
One of my big paintings got sold yesterday.Here is that my favourite one.

I was planning not to paint anything this week.But I have some commissioned work to be completed, plus a new painting is waiting which I had just started.

So will probably get to painting.As for now I am a happy happy creature.

Warli Dance

Acrylic on canvas,15.7" * 15.7"

This is a type of tribal art from India.

Warli Paintings are the ancient Indian folk

 art  tradition of Warli Tribe in Indian state

of  Maharashtra.These paintings depict the normal,

day to day and social life of common people.

 Mainly created on mud walls of tribal houses by

women of the houses.They use geometric shapes 

 such as triangles, circles, squares, dots and

 crooked lines. These shapes are used to depict

 human figures, animal figures, houses, crops etc.

The themes are often repetitive and symbolic in nature.

Hope you all enjoy these pieces.
