Sunil Padwal
Untitled, Acrylic on Canvas & Plyboard by Contemporary Artist "In Stock"

2007

About the Item

Sunil Padwal Untitled Acrylic on Canvas & Plyboard 36 x 36 inches, 2007 (Delivered ready to hang) His Untitled (2007) presents a striking interplay of urban chaos and psychological tension through architectural forms and silhouetted figures. The bold red and black palette underscores themes of confinement, identity, and modern existentialism. “This captivating contemporary piece showcases a striking interplay of two levels. A vibrant red canvas is subtly projected above a black plyboard base, creating a dynamic sense of depth and contrast. The thoughtful combination of diverse materials and layered dimensions adds intrigue, making the artwork a compelling visual experience marked by bold juxtaposition.” Style : Bold, simple, immaculate - are a few adjectives that would describe Sunil and his work. They catch your eye even if you are just passing by, and this glimpse takes you into a journey of thought and reflection. Every time you view Sunil's paintings they reveal a new facet, pushing you into a new realm of thought. "A work of art should not set boredom", believes Sunil. He works like a sculptor adding & subtracting upon the surface of his paintings - the color is built through a series of layers, which at times are also scratched out. He incorporates the human figure in his paintings in the same vein - building it in and out of the surface. Initially, these figures were mere spectators in the composition of the artwork, but now they appear to be active participants, asserting their presence and subtly revealing the mystery behind their form. The frames of Sunil's paintings are not mere boundaries; they are an integral part of the entire work of art. At times it is the frame, more appropriately the found object that inspires him to do a painting. Sunil enjoys adding dimension to his works, an unusual curved surface instead of a flat one, a molded back to make the painting move away from the wall, a form of twisted metal or an old signboard. Even through the elaborate and dramatic use of materials, his paintings inherently are bereft of any superfluous details. In his latest series Sunil has painted books, but books, which are made of wood. The enchanting hand-painted cover of these books compels you to try and take a peek inside, but the wooden book cannot be opened, leaving the observer only with the imagination of what might have been there ! Sunil is continuously changing himself and the world around him. He is experimenting with new forms of expressions, and in the process forcing us to delve further into his magical and mysterious art. Sunil is an artist for the new millennium! About the Artist & his works : Born : 1968, Mumbai. Education : 1989 - Bachelor of Fine Arts (Applied Art), Sir J.J. Institute of Applied Art, Mumbai.

The Yellow Paradox of Love, Acrylic on Canson Board by Indian Artist "In Stock"
By Pradiptaa Chakraborty
Located in Kolkata, West Bengal
Pradiptaa Chakraborty - The Yellow Paradox of Love Acrylic on Canson Board, 5 x 6 inches, 2016 Will be shipped in a roll form. The current bunch of paintings mirrors this human Chinese Chequer , which moves about life as an unguided engine ramming into edifices indiscriminately. The paintings also depict the human scrambling for sensuality and gold – digging. The use of various colours, dark and light, in Pradiptta’s work symbolize the inner somberness and fakery. The interplay of mythical and supernatural machinery has been a significant form of artistic expression in the post – modern art arena and thus is interpreted as lending authenticity to the disarray and phantasmagoria in which man landed into. Style : Colours and semi realistic approach reflect the various images of life. Life is itself a kaleidoscope of fleeting images capturing the joys and disappointments of life. Life is a Juggler’s game whereby games are played out to veil the hidden instincts of human life. The conjurer on the road juggler his paraphernalia to entertain the spectators. Such a showmanship has become the grain of human existence. But now days it has turn to different parabola, all perspective are changing like some tsunami wave pass through of our modern civilization. Present impact of canvas is great drama going on. It is a arrested split second of mythical demonstration in modern apparel in post modern globe. Tries to decipher the mythological structures and traditions of Indian art, Characters from Indian mythico-religious tradition, Traditional commentary and background pigment give the proper optimistic pulsation which is very essential for painting’s vivacity. I want to establish extraordinary encounters, represented with the utmost precision which take place on the canvas and try to procure a wonderful hallucinatory quality in which the real and the imagined merge into one. About the Artist & his work : Born : 1979. Education : 2003 : BACHELOR OF FINE ARTS (B.F.A) in Graphics from Kala Bhavana, Vishva Bharati University, Shantiniketan, West Bengal. Five years Diploma in Painting From Rabindra Bharati University, Kolkata West Bengal. Group Shows : 2013 : Group Show in Chandigarh Art...
