Pratul Dash Art

Indian, b. 1974

Pratul Dash is a conscientious human being who believes that the most vital role of an artist is to work towards uplifting society. Born in rural Orissa, Dash grew up enjoying the openness of landscapes untouched by man. New Delhi however, came as a rude awakening to the artist, who spent over a year in the bustling metropolis while pursuing his Master’s degree at the College of Art there. After experiencing first-hand the deteriorating state of natural landscapes, Dash became more and more concerned with the rate at which expanding cities were invading open spaces. His works reflect his concerns about the environment as well as his own experiences as a man from a simple town, leading a simple life, thrown unprepared into the chaos of urban spaces. On close examination, the viewer can sense the pain caused by this displacement of the self and the physical body, and the struggle of trying to exist in a familiar land as a rightful citizen rather than a refugee.

Damsel
Located in Ibadan, Oyo
"Damsel" is a work of art that immediately draws the viewer's attention to the glorious charm of the woman at its center. Adewale's portrayal of her low-cut hairstyle is a powerful statement that challenges conventional norms of beauty. With her hair styled so boldly, the subject exudes a sense of self-assuredness, breaking free from societal expectations and embracing her uniqueness. The woman's choice of a vibrant yellow dress further reinforces the celebration of feminine allure. Yellow, a color often associated with happiness and positivity, complements the woman's radiance, illuminating the canvas with her inner glow. This striking hue symbolizes her inner strength and vibrant spirit, echoing the confidence and dynamism that emanate from her presence. The blue background, in contrast, serves as a calming and harmonious setting, providing a perfect backdrop for the woman's portrayal. The serene blue not only accentuates her poise and elegance but also serves as a reflection of her depth and wisdom. It suggests that beneath her external charm lies a profound reservoir of inner grace and strength, making her all the more captivating and multidimensional as a subject. "Damsel" is more than just a beautiful portrait; it is a celebration of the richness and diversity of womanhood. Adewale's brushwork masterfully captures the subtle details of her facial features, highlighting the delicate contours of her lips and the gentle curves of her cheekbones. The artist's attention to detail emphasizes the individuality and uniqueness of the subject, celebrating the fact that each woman possesses her own distinct brand of charm and beauty. This artwork is not merely a passive representation but a self-conscious portraiture that actively engages the viewer. As we gaze upon the woman in "Damsel," we become participants in this celebration of femininity. Adewale invites us to appreciate and honor the beauty that exists within all women, encouraging us to recognize and celebrate the allure that each woman carries in her own unique way. In its essence, "Damsel" is a testament to the empowering nature of art. It breaks away from conventional stereotypes and standard definitions of beauty, presenting a woman who embraces her identity unapologetically. The artwork's appeal lies not only in its visual aesthetics but also in the powerful message it conveys to society, urging us to appreciate and cherish the diverse expressions of feminine charm. In conclusion, "Damsel" by Busari Adewale...
