Teal Fields and Pink Clouds -1, Abstract Oil Painting

2021

Artist Comments
Artist Srinivas Kathoju demonstrates an absorbing abstract landscape using vibrant linear forms. He takes inspiration from vast open fields, mountains, and horizons that end in skies. The elements respectively represent the foreground, the middle ground, and the background of the scenery. The loosely painted brush strokes give an energetic feel to the painting.

About the Artist
During the day, Srinivas Kathoju is a full-time software engineer. However, his art reflects another side of his personality; a passion for painting, a love of nature, and a desire to depict the vastness and majesty of the landscape. What makes his paintings unique is the way they incorporate several styles of art. The abstracted compositions have the soft atmosphere of an impressionist landscape, combined with the flat bold shapes of a post-war modern painting. Additionally, there is an ambiguity to the composition. The eye may easily register the painting as a landscape, but struggle to identify the horizon line and other landmarks within the piece. Is the block of turquoise running the length of the canvas a river, or just another line of color within the layers of stacked shapes?
