Autumn Breeze by Anurag Anand unfolds as a richly textured and layered cityscape that captures the essence of urban density through an abstracted, expressive lens. This evocative work transcends literal representation, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a complex interplay of form, color, and atmosphere that reflects both the physical and emotional fabric of a city in transition.
The composition centers around a stark, leafless tree that commands the foreground, its bare branches reaching out in sharp contrast against a tightly clustered array of buildings. These structures, rendered in overlapping shapes and varied planes, utilize a muted palette of browns, reds, grays, and subdued blues, suggesting a cityscape weathered by time and memory. Anand’s brushwork is deliberately visible and tactile, conveying a sense of immediacy and artistic presence, while the layering of paint creates a nuanced surface that hints at the city’s history and lived experience.
Beneath this architectural sprawl, a body of teal-blue water meanders through the scene, offering a subtle but poignant counterpoint to the solidity of the buildings. This aquatic element not only introduces visual relief but also evokes themes of reflection and flux, reinforcing the cyclical rhythms suggested by the work’s title. Small pockets of vegetation punctuate the landscape, adding touches of organic life amidst the urban environment, suggesting resilience and continuity in the face of change. Anurag Anand’s approach in Autumn Breeze reveals a sophisticated dialogue between modern and post-modern sensibilities. The abstraction and layering speak to the fragmentation of contemporary urban life, while the textured surfaces and earthy tones root the scene in tangible reality. The artist’s signature, discreetly placed in the lower corner, marks the piece as a personal testament to the nuanced emotional landscape embedded within the city.
This painting stands as a compelling meditation on the passage of time, the interaction between nature and human construction, and the persistent vibrancy that endures in an ever-evolving urban tableau. Through Autumn Breeze, Anand invites viewers to contemplate the delicate balance between decay and renewal, stillness and movement, structure and spontaneity that define the urban experience
Why Choose Us
Art has always, naturally, reflected the development and exploration of different thoughts and perceptions, and our current postmodern era is no different. It is interesting to see how art has evolved visually, yet the traditional methods of composing art remain a valid means of expression.
All it takes for an artist to rise above normalcy, is inspiration, which fuels his passion to paint beautiful creations throughout his life.
The valuable expression of art is always there with us, but now this expression is yet to take an interesting diversion with our art gallery, Gallery Silver Scapes, located in Hauz Khas Enclave. Art is no longer considered just decorative but has evolved and come forth as a major form of investment yielding high rates of returns for its buyers, making it an expression commonly used.
Mrs Mayor was walked into the art world by the legendary modernist Bimal Das Gupta, one of whose biggest collections remains with Gallery Silver Scapes. In the 1980s, as head and first curator of the Habiart Gallery founded by Mrs Rekha Modi — a childhood friend — Mrs Mayor worked closely with and curated shows for renowned artists such as A Ramachandran, GR Santosh, Rameshwar Broota, Sakti Burman, MK Bardhan, Dhiraj Chaudhury, M Sivanesan, and Arup Das among others.
Besides modern masters, she also worked with young contemporaries such as Sudip Roy, Paresh Maity, Subroto Kundu, Vinod Sharma, and many more. Artworks commissioned by her are now part of prestigious collections, such as those of the India Habitat Centre, Ranbaxy, Pepsi, Hotel Lalit, Bank of America, and many more private and public collections.
