This luminous abstract-expressionist painting captures the quiet poetry of a village at twilight or dawn, where the transition of light becomes a metaphor for memory, presence, and emotional stillness. The composition is defined by interlocking geometric forms that suggest clustered buildings with varied rooflines, rendered in a layered, painterly style that balances structure with atmospheric depth.
The palette is both muted and evocative, blending earthy grays, browns, and ochres with soft washes of pink, lavender, dusty yellow, and pale blue. These color choices evoke the fleeting, introspective mood of early morning or evening light, moments when the world seems to pause between action and rest. The delicate modulation of tone and hue enhances the emotional undercurrent of the piece, inviting viewers into a dreamlike space where past and present coexist. Bold, expressive brushstrokes animate the surface, giving the architectural forms a textured, tactile quality. The buildings, while abstracted, retain a sense of weight and density. They cluster tightly together, suggesting both community and enclosure, as if shaped by the rhythms of daily life and collective memory. The contrast between angular structures and softer color gradients establishes a gentle visual tension, reinforcing the duality between the built environment and surrounding atmosphere. Hints of foliage at the edges and distant shifts in color on the horizon suggest natural elements and spatial recession. These subtle cues draw the eye beyond the foreground, opening the composition into a wider, more contemplative field. The village seems not merely a physical location, but an emotional landscape, alive with memory, rooted in place, yet reaching into something timeless and intangible.
This work exemplifies the expressive potential of abstraction grounded in architectural form. It does not seek literal realism, but instead communicates a psychological truth through gesture, tone, and structure. The painting resonates with themes of belonging, transition, and stillness, offering viewers a layered experience that is both visual and emotive. This piece stands as a meditative exploration of space, an abstract village that feels both personal and universal. It invites not just observation but introspection, making it a deeply engaging and resonant addition to any contemporary art collection.
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.
