About the Item
Madhvi Parekh - Untitled,
Ink on Paper
28 x 20 inches, 2016
( Unframed & Delivered )
This artwork is a striking ink on paper piece by Madhvi Parekh, created in 2016. Rendered in her distinctive folk-inspired style, the composition presents a bold linear portrait of a man with a serene yet enigmatic expression. What immediately stands out is the imaginative element of a fish placed on the figure’s head, almost as if it were a crown or a symbol of thought. The simplified forms, patterned details on the attire, and rhythmic use of lines create a visual language that resonates with traditional Indian folk art yet carries a modern sensibility. The black-and-white contrast heightens the symbolic intensity of the image, leaving the viewer to interpret the surreal combination of man and fish as a metaphor for coexistence with nature, memory, or the subconscious. This work beautifully reflects Parekh’s ability to blend narrative, symbolism, and simplicity into a deeply compelling visual statement.
Style : Parekh’s early work explored the relationships between man and nature, as according to him, this was an energetic link that had to be celebrated. The artist also points out that, since then, contradictions have formed the basis of his artistic practice, no matter the subject or genre of his works.
Polemics have always intrigued Manu Parekh – the energy of the organic form and the inherent sexuality within these forms are intangible elements in his works. His paintings provoke viewers to take notice of the world around them through the emotion, pain and anguish expressed in the subjects of his paintings. His colors and forms exude a volatile energy that can barely be contained within the confines of his canvas, and become an extension of the artist's personality.
Vivid colours and prominent lines are an integral part of Parekh’s work and each exudes the energy that he attempts to capture. Parekh admits to being very strongly influenced by his surroundings. His stay in the city of Calcutta, for instance, drew him towards Santiniketan and the old masters of Indian art, Ram Kinkar Baij and Rabindranath Tagore. His appreciation of their work, more at a perceptual level than stylistic one, urged him to delve deeper into the thoughts that inform his own oeuvre.
Banaras as a city came to play an integral role in Parekh’s work after his first visit there following his father’s death. This holy city of hope, of faith, of tourists offered him a vast number of contradictions in one location. Parekh also highlights his relationship with his wife Madhvi, who is a self taught artist, and his admiration for Picasso as key influences on his works.
