About the Item

B. Vithal – Horse – H 13 x W 14 x D 5 inches Bronze Born : 1935 Vardha Maharashtra Died : 1992 Education : Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai Exhibitions : Selected Posthumous Exhibitions 2013 'The Naked and the Nude: The Body in Indian Modern Art', Delhi Art Gallery, New Delhi 2011 'Agape', Hacienda Art Gallery, Mumbai Born in Maharashtra in 1935, B Vithal studied at the Sir J.J. School of Art, Mumbai. He was an artist who was a master sculptor and painter. While his sculptural works were known for their monumentality his paintings captured the personal and intimate. But in both forms the innate understanding of the human form comes through very strongly. This is not surprising as he studied at the Sir J.J.School of Art, which lay emphasis on the study of the human form through it's live model studio classes, it is also a school that is filled with large sculpture casts of the Greek and Roman sculptures. It was also here that he met his wife and fellow artist B Prabha. They were married in 1956 and had a joint show of their works in the same year. Vithal mostly painted on large canvases and handled the entire surface with ease. His canvases are not precursors to his sculptures; his ability to switch from the 3 dimensions to the 2 dimensions is noteworthy. Vithal played with his canvases, he moved them all around, working on them from all directions, creating unusual in textures and depths. Horses, musicians, nudes, and people of Maharashtra are some of the most painted subjects by the artist. While he is know for the bulls, which exuded sheer power and force, his paintings of the horse he is more playful and experiments with their form and translating it in 2 dimensions. Vithal who lived and worked in Mumbai passed away in 1992.

Power, Bull, Bronze, Brown Colors by Contemporary Indian Artist "In Stock"
Located in Kolkata, West Bengal
Subrata Paul - Power Bronze, H 21 x W 34 x D 10 inches About : Subrata Paul ( b 1972) is one of the empanelled sculptors of Abundant Art Gallery. Subrata Paul’s favoured materials are bronze embellished with wood. His signature fusion of the two different materials with his stitching style lends an unique texture to his sculptures. Our collection, includes some of his remarkable creations including “Fish”, “Goat” and “Bull”.Paul’s ‘Fish’ represents contrasting characteristics. The Buddha like drooping eyes of the ‘Fish’ is contrasted paradoxically against the frenzied fins, reminding us of Medusa’s dishevelled hair. Calmness and restlessness in one form, the ‘Fish’ resembles the life force.It is a metaphor for the inner human strength to swim against the tide of adversities. His ‘The King’ represents an imperial image. The statute is looking towards heaven, as if seeking some inspiration to perform his royal duties. His crown is like a crown of thorns. It is not a pleasant task but it has to be performed. His attire declares he has to modify his own life into the straightjacket of his royal duties. Another creation of his, ‘Bull’ recalls the interpretation of a bison of the Altamira cave paintings. Paul’s ‘Meditation’ series defines peace in different perspectives through various aspects of Buddha figures. Inspired by sculptors such as Sunil Kumar Das...
