This vertical abstract painting by Bimal Dasgupta, executed in oil on canvas, is a masterful exploration of natural forms through subtle layering and nuanced tonalities. The work’s layered and overlapping shapes evoke geological formations or stylized landscapes, inviting viewers into an immersive experience of earth’s textures and rhythms.
The artist employs a muted palette dominated by shades of gray, brown, and soft greens and yellows. These colors work harmoniously to create an atmosphere of quiet contemplation, reminiscent of weathered terrains and ancient rock strata. The subdued hues and gentle transitions imbue the painting with a timeless quality, suggesting both the passage of geological time and the delicate balance of natural processes.
Horizontal bands traverse the composition, their repetition creating a rhythm and sense of depth that guides the eye through the layers. These bands echo the stratification found in rock formations, lending the painting a tactile dimension that suggests sedimentation and the layering of history. The interplay of these horizontal elements with the vertical format further enhances the sense of scale and structure, evoking mountains, craters, or valleys.
Composition is a central shape that calls to mind a crater or a series of peaks. This dominant form anchors the painting, while the surrounding spaces filled with subtly varying tones produce texture and spatial allusion. The delicate gradation between colors creates a soft, organic flow, emphasizing the interconnectedness of natural forms and the fluid boundaries between earth, rock, and sky.
Dasgupta’s work resists literal interpretation, instead offering an abstracted meditation on landscape and nature’s layered complexity. The painting’s soft transitions and textural depth invite viewers to slow down, encouraging close observation and reflection on the subtle shifts in tone and form. A poetic homage to the earth’s enduring beauty and mystery. Through abstraction, Bimal Dasgupta captures the essence of geological processes, transforming the canvas into a serene space where viewers can contemplate the silent, slow rhythms that shape our world.
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.
