Anil Vangad Art

Indian, b. 1983
Anil Vangad is a Contemporary painter from India. He has exhibited widely enjoying major solo shows in Singapore, Hong Kong, US, UK, France, India, Korea and many other Countries. Hailing from the Warli tribes in Maharashtra, whilst Anil lives and works in his traditional village, like many tribal artists he is also well-travelled and deftly combines modern life with traditional heritage. He is an experimental artist and embraces new possibilities. In his everyday practise Anil uses traditional techniques and a painting style that goes back as far as the histories of his tribes. Homes in the Warli villages have mud walls and as the traditions in his village are recalled, during special events and festivals the houses are decorated in patterns and images that bring luck and are used as an expression of celebration. In the second part of the 20th century the Waril artists realised there was an interest in their art so they started painting their images and symbols on cloth to sell as a source of income. Images in Anil’s paintings are of the daily Warli life, the tribes tales and narratives. During festivals the people love to dance. A famous Warli dance is performed in a circle and references can be seen to this in many of Anil’s paintings. Pattern is everywhere in the ears of corn in the fields to flocks of birds in the skies. The Warli villagers are always shown in action, as doing. They are cooking, fishing, hunting, tending to animals and so forth. The artist paints using traditional materials. He primes his canvas cloth with cow dung which is lucky. He sometimes uses earth and the colour changes depending on the season and the amount of rain. The white colour is rice paste mixed with neem and is applied with a bamboo stick. At the turn of the 20th century the artists embraced acrylic colours and synthetic materials but like many of us, they now understand the best way to preserve nature and their heritage is by using natural pigments and cloths. Acrylic colours are still used sometimes as they are an easier medium to do fine work with. Anil may have moved back to traditional materials but his paintings are constantly challenging the conventions of traditional Warli imagery. Whilst still retaining the essence of this practice, he offers us beautiful minimal compositions, flat-field perspective and incorporates modernity and technology, mostly as an indication of how life for his village is changing. Like many Indians he is worried how the technological advancements are damaging his way of life and threatening the land that he serves. He brings all of this into his art. He celebrates all that is good and questions that which challenges his Warli tribe. Anil’s work has been exhibited worldwide. He has worked on vast mural projects and also works on small scale paintings. He was taught by his Mother. His work is held in prestigious public and private collections.

Gabrielle Benot, "In White II", 24x18 Abstract Equine Portrait Mixed Media

Located in Saratoga Springs, NY

This abstract equine painting, "In White II" by artist Gabrielle Benot is a 24x18 original mixed media painting on canvas of a horse portrait in white, golden beige, and light pastel colors. The artists use of mixed media mediums and thick, textured applications bring a sculptural and three-dimensional quality to each piece. About the artist: Born in Latvia, Ms. Gabrielle Benot had a natural gift for artistic creativity. From a young age she had a keen interest in sketching, drawing, and sculpting. She matured as an artist over time, often under the guidance of her grandfather, who was a self-taught painter. Eventually she would study fashion design at the Royal Fashion Academy (Margrethe Skolen) in Copenhagen. Several of her teachers include Andrea Rushing, known for his Steampunk aesthetic, and Jeffrey Watts. Aside from her teachers, Gabrielle has also been influenced and inspired by Jackson Pollock, Gerhard Richter, Pino Daeni, Nikolai Fechin, Gustav Klimt, Joan Mitchell, Joan Brown , Jean Paul Riopelle to name a few. Her style reflects an interest in partial figurative representation and a reduction of subject matter into minimalistic elements. Additionally, many of Ms. Benot’s paintings materialize from, and are inspired by a variety of sources; some of these include literature, magazines, and alluring private snapshots based on luxury fashion branding and the equestrian lifestyle. She has used many of these sources to develop a technique of her own that include the use of wet brushes, dry brushes, palette knives, oil pastels, charcoal and whatever else can come to mind as a medium, tool or a collage detail. Concentrating on form, color, and a sense of stylistic freedom, Gabrielle uses light and shadow in her images to approach a semi-abstract impressionistic graphic design that has been described as “unsettling,” “accusatory,” “exotic,” and “tastefully erotic.” Gabrielle uses her technique to experiment with abstract forms and non figurative art...
