This vibrant untitled work by Paresh Maity captures the rhythm, grace, and spirit of womanhood through a bold and modern visual language. Known for his powerful use of color and emotive compositions, Maity presents three women in a scene that feels both timeless and contemporary. The figures are adorned in traditional attire, their colorful garments and headscarves rendered with expressive strokes and decorative patterns that nod to Indian textile traditions.
The composition features the women in overlapping poses, suggesting interaction, conversation, or shared presence. One figure appears in the foreground, her profile subtly emerging from the red-dominated backdrop, while the central figure commands attention with a heightened sense of poise and grace. Their positions create a sense of movement and emotional connection, evoking everyday intimacy and cultural identity.
A strong use of warm tones, particularly reds, oranges, and yellows, imbues the canvas with a dynamic energy. These colors, deeply symbolic in Indian aesthetics, evoke themes of vitality, warmth, and spiritual power. The deep red background, devoid of intricate detail, serves to focus the viewer’s attention on the women, turning them into vibrant silhouettes that pulse with life. While the figures are stylized and abstracted, they retain the essence of human presence. Their elongated forms, simplified features, and fluid outlines are signature elements of Maity’s style, combining elements of folk art with a modernist sensibility. The result is an image that is not strictly representational but profoundly evocative, balancing the formal with the emotional.
Maity’s work often draws from his personal observations of life across India. Through these portrayals of women poised, expressive, and enveloped in rich color, he reflects both cultural reverence and a modern artistic vision. The visual language he employs honors the past while speaking to contemporary themes of identity, community, and tradition. This painting stands as a vibrant celebration of Indian femininity and artistic innovation. Through color, composition, and abstraction, Paresh Maity creates a work that resonates deeply with viewers, bridging the gap between the intimate and the iconic, the traditional and the contemporary.
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.
