Immersed in cool tonalities and atmospheric nuance, Dusk: The View of Kanchenjunga by Mohammad Naseem unfolds as a meditative reflection on the sublimity of the natural world. Rendered in acrylic on canvas, the work captures the iconic Himalayan peak through a language of abstraction and tonal modulation, transforming the mountain range into a poetic metaphor for distance, serenity, and transcendence.
Rather than opting for a topographical or photorealistic portrayal, Naseem adopts a stylized, almost dreamlike approach. The composition is articulated through a series of softly layered mountain silhouettes, cascading from foreground to background in subtle gradations of blue, from the lightest teal to the deepest azure. This chromatic progression evokes a sense of atmospheric perspective, enhancing the illusion of depth while also reinforcing the emotional tenor of the work. The inclusion of a horizontal band of lighter blue, separating the layers of terrain, introduces a luminous spatial interval, perhaps suggestive of mist, fading light, or the breath of the earth itself.
The brushwork is deliberately restrained, with blended textures and diffuse edges that conjure the quiet, enveloping stillness of dusk. Variations in texture, some smooth and ethereal, others gently coarse, hint at the geological complexity of the landscape while maintaining an overall coherence in tone and gesture. The result is a vista that seems suspended between reality and reverie, offering the viewer not only a visual impression but an invitation to contemplation. Kanchenjunga, as a subject, carries rich symbolic resonance, it is the third-highest mountain in the world and is revered in many Himalayan cultures as a sacred entity. Naseem’s interpretation eschews monumentality in favor of a more introspective reading, one that aligns the mountain with ideas of inner peace, spiritual distance, and the ephemeral quality of light at day’s end.
Through this subtle orchestration of form and color, Dusk: The View of Kanchenjunga becomes more than a landscape; it is an ambient space, a visual mantra, through which the artist captures the fleeting majesty of twilight over one of nature’s most iconic peaks. Mohammad Naseem’s canvas exemplifies how abstraction and emotional resonance can converge to elevate landscape painting into the realm of the sublime.
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.
