Sujata's Works of Art

This is a painting done by a close friend, Sujatha, and has a place of prominence in my house. And there's almost no one who walks into my house who doesn't have a comment on it; and this inspite of my having some other real large paintings on my walls too. It competes with panache :)

A visit to her house at Hubli..... and a couple of paintings she'd done way back in college caught my attention.

Old school paintings, but I still love these for their level of detail, and beauty, but apparently I know little about art :)

She's been painting for a long while now, self taught, and with several exhibitions to her credit as well. From these paintings....... through to the one on my wall, clearly brings out her shift from realism to abstract, the fusion abstract, which is the acceptable art form of today. 

Apparently, abstract art came into existence with the invention of the camera, somewhere in the early nineteen hundreds. It's like cameras could capture realism so painting had to be about something internal to the artists mind and so came about abstract and it was initially totally abstract, like totally lacking a subject.

The newer trend  (thankfully for the likes of me)  have subjects. but in abstract form; its a fusion of realism and the abstract, like the ones she does now.

Here are some of her paintings:

That's a Radha Krishna theme. it's one of her hall mark styles,  and the style is now recognized as hers in some art circles.

This is an under water series she'd done

This is another version of Radha Krishna, the third one of which is the one at my place

I find the Buddha almost surreal.  

If anyone's interested in picking up her pieces or even wanting to get one done, let me know...... I'm happy to do my bit promoting her art. I've always thought her paintings had a natural depth. 

Proud of you Sujata Pawar !
