Chameli ramachandran - Latest News Update, Information, Photos & Videos on Chameli ramachandran at Lokmat Times

New Delhi, Jan 4 A long-awaited solo exhibition of drawings by Delhi-based artist Chameli Ramachandran, titled 'Flowers Bloom, Flowers Wither Away, Flowers Bloom Again' is on view at Vadehra Art Gallery through mid-February 2021. It opens January 8.Ramachandran, born in 1940 in Santiniketan, has always nurtured an immersive and entrancing relationship with nature, which repeatedly strikes an impulse to paint the skeletal and spiritual structures of flowers over and over again.Her primary art subject has been nature and its embodiments, which she explores with sensitivity and admiration, in a unique confluence of Chinese meditative practices and the lushness of Indian landscapes, particularly in Bengal.In this latest series of flower studies, the artist expands her symbolic vocabulary of the flower and its parts by viewing them as metaphors for life and death. She notes their sudden budding as a celebratory arrival of beauty, grace and fragrance, only to wilt shortly thereafter.As Ella Datta writes, "Each of Chameli's flower studies expresses an intimate language of emotion meditative, ecstatic, melancholy. The life of a flower may be short but not its image painted by Chameli. It continues to resonate in one's memory." Chameli renders her flowers with deft brushwork and elegant personas, and captures both their life-brimming potential and fallen obscurities with the same attention.While she usually paints from life, in this series of work Chameli also newly relies on memory to experiment with form, especially the sthalapadmas on her terrace in Delhi that were just about to bloom when the Ramachandrans left the city for a long sojourn to Mumbai towards the end of last year, where the fullness of the heavy, multi-petalled flowers kept haunting her, thus working in subjective exaggerations for the sake of storytelling.Her list of protagonists is long, including orchids, sthalapadmasj/pg/khz( With inputs from IANS )Disclaimer: This post has been auto-published from an agency feed without any modifications to the text and has not been reviewed by an editor
