This richly textured abstract painting invites viewers into a tactile, atmospheric world shaped by memory and the natural environment. Without resorting to literal representation, the artist seamlessly blends warm browns, golds, and orange tones into an organic tapestry that evokes the essence of earthy landscapes. The composition breathes with the rhythms of nature, its changing light, layered textures, and quiet vitality.
A simplified hut, abstracted yet recognizable, subtly anchors the composition. Its form serves as a quiet focal point, grounding the viewer amid the surrounding swaths of color and texture. This singular architectural element guides the eye and offers a point of emotional orientation within the abstraction, suggesting themes of shelter, rootedness, and human presence in a vast natural world. Visible, expressive brushwork enhances the painting’s tactility, giving the surface a sense of physical depth. The textured application of paint hints at dense foliage, the roughness of earth, and the movement of light through layered vegetation. These marks are not descriptive but evocative, speaking to the sensory experience of landscape rather than its appearance. The use of impasto and variation in stroke direction create a rhythmic interplay of surfaces that seem to shift and shimmer with changing perspective.
The tonal contrast between light and dark areas introduces spatial complexity and visual movement. Golden highlights suggest filtered sunlight, while deeper, shadowed sections recall forest undergrowth or the cool quiet of dusk. This dynamic play between shadow and illumination generates a visual rhythm that invites quiet reflection, making the painting not just an object to be viewed, but a space to be entered emotionally. This work stands at the intersection of abstraction and landscape. It echoes the expressive materiality of modernist abstraction while remaining deeply rooted in a sense of place. Rather than offering a direct representation, the artist conjures a landscape of feeling, one built from texture, memory, and the enduring relationship between humans and the earth.
Ultimately, this painting offers a meditative journey through form and atmosphere. It encourages the viewer to slow down, to feel the surface as much as see it, and to reflect on the quiet power of nature, not as spectacle, but as an ever-present, grounding force in our lives.
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.
