Moose

1960s

Brushed taches of green, yellow, pink, turquoise and orange intersects with gestural grey lines to form a stable yet energetic composition in this 26 inch square ink and acrylic painting on rice paper. The overall intense movement within this work is in keeping with Lui's dramatic theme of pilgrimage -- a theme which is also reflected in the title "To Jerusalem III", the holy city...

Three black brushstrokes representing ground and rapid dashes of black, drizzled and brushed form the profile of a dog, his leash flying upwards in this work on paper. Off leash parks in Toronto where dogs run free, are places of joy for pets and their owners. The essence of this abandon is depicted with humorous affection by Fernie, a masterful story-teller. Framed size is 50 x 36 inches. Lynne Fernie is a Toronto artist...

Shuvaprasanna Bhattacharya - Untitled - 6 x 4 inches (unframed size) Acrylic on Postcard. ( Framed & ready to Hang ) One of the most popular series of the Master Artist, The Golden Flute is the artists more romantic renedition of Art. The iconic figures of Krishna, Radha, and Ganesha that found lyrical expression in the Icons series are modern representations and sophisticated idealizations of the same images in the popular media. Krishna is a cosmic musician, and the tune he creates by playing his transcendental flute is embodied with cosmic energy. When Krishna is depicted as being between the age of 5 and 8, it is always with his flute. Therefore, during this period, he is aptly called Murlidhara (murali means “flute,” and dhara means “hold”), signifying the one who holds the flute. He is never without it, whether he is with his mother, on the grazing grounds with his herd of cows, among his cowherd companions or roaming around on the Jamuna banks. Gopis lose their selves in this tune. For them, music becomes the voice of love, which is too passionate and secretive. Style : The city of Kolkata has always figured prominently in his work. His themes come from his personal interactions with its urban milieu - its sickness and sordidness, its violence and vulnerability and all that compounds its existential agony. Shuvaprasanna has depicted varying moods of the city and its people, its places, and all its facets that make the city distinctive. He doesn't merely portray reality as 'matter of fact' and his presentation of reality often has dream-like elements in it. In terms of technique, Shuvaprasanna boasts a precise, finely executed style that yields an unmistakable visual intensity. He works comfortably in an assortment of media, including oil on canvas, charcoal, and mixed media. About the Artist and his work : Born : In Calcutta, 1947. Education : Graduated from Indian College of Art (R.B. University, Calcutta) in 1969. Exhibitions : Shuvaprasanna has had several gallery and museum exhibitions, including at the Tao Art Gallery and at the Chawla Art Gallery, Square One Mall. Several works by the artist have been sold at auction, including 'ABODE' sold at Waddington's 'Fine Prints & Photography Auction...
