This large, abstract painting captures the viewer with its evocative portrayal of a tree-like form, rendered in a richly expressive and modern style. At the heart of the composition is a centrally positioned mass that unmistakably suggests the silhouette of a tree. Rather than a literal depiction, the artist employs abstraction to convey its essence, its presence, mass, and emotional weight within the environment.
The tree form is composed of layered shades of green, ranging from deep, moody forest hues to vibrant lime tones that appear to shimmer in certain areas. These variations in color are intensified by the artist’s technique, a densely textured surface created through vigorous brushwork, stippling, or possibly the use of palette knives. This physicality adds depth and dynamism, making the tree appear to pulse with life despite the absence of fine detail or realism. The background is a contrasting field of soft, muted pinkish-purple. This hue bathes the entire canvas in a quiet, meditative atmosphere, suggesting a time of day touched by diffused light, perhaps dawn or dusk. Subtle blending and layering of this background color with the green tree form creates a gentle transition between figure and ground. The result is an enveloping haze, enhancing the dreamlike quality of the painting.
Though the forms remain abstract, the sense of space and landscape is unmistakable. The artwork avoids strict lines or naturalistic elements, instead favoring emotional resonance over realism. The edges of the painting are enclosed in a dark reddish-brown wooden frame, which serves both to ground the image and highlight the organic richness of the colors within. The painting’s modernist abstraction invites multiple interpretations. On one level, it may be seen as a study in color and form, a balance between cool and warm, figure and ground, texture and smoothness. On another, it can evoke deeper themes such as solitude, rootedness, transformation, or the quiet resilience of nature. The choice to abstract a tree, a universally understood symbol of life and stability, allows the viewer to engage with it not just as a landscape element, but as an emotional and symbolic centerpiece. Ultimately, this work stands as a compelling fusion of landscape and abstraction, where painterly expression and symbolism intertwine to create an image that is both visually and emotionally resonant.
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.
