About the Item

JMS Mani - Badami People Oil on Canvas - 16 x 12 inches each (unframed size) 20 x 18 inches ( Framed ) Inclusive of packing . The simple, rustic folk of the Deccan Plateau in South India, with strong Dravidian (an ancient race in South India) features, are the subjects of J.M.S. Mani's paintings. His art is an amalgamation of Indian culture with Occidental Western formalism. His figures are modeled in three-dimensional form, with bold brushwork, similar in style to those of the impressionists. JMS Mani’s most famous body of work, undoubtedly, is the Badami Series, inspired by Hadapad’s hometown, Badami. Its’ scenic landscapes and people became a lifelong obsession for Mani, and he has created many oil paintings showcasing the ordinary men and women of Badami going about their daily activities. From what they wear to what they sell in the market, to the repetition in their stance, Mani has masterfully uses subtle nuances to highlight the simplicity of their existence. Fruits (especially bananas), flowers, kites, balloons and roosters make frequent appearances in the series, and his brilliant use of the impasto technique makes the vibrant colours of rural South India come alive in vivid textures. Style : Over the course of his career, JMS Mani has experimented with nature-based abstraction and expressive gestural abstraction. He has dealt extensively with physical spaces that surrounded him, creating archetypes of mountains, trees, monuments, and Hampi’s landscapes, with which he had a continued fascination. In his ‘Mother and Child’ series, Mani explores a completely different subject and dimension.
