20th
May. – 30th May’13: Pradarshak presents solo
exhibition of semi-abstract figurative paintings by Yogesh Patil
“Life is a festival of colours,” says artist Yogesh
Patil. Mumbai based upcoming artist Yogesh celebrates life and its myriad
festivities – little nothings that bring joy – through his semi-abstract
figurative expressions, where the protagonist is generally the woman. Heavily
laden with traditional Indian symbolism, which the artist has studied at length
anoint his canvases, bringing them alive to a variety of emotions – patience,
kindness, joy, courage etc.

Generally rendered in
acrylic on canvas, the paintings create a distinct visual appeal. Another
interesting facet of his work is his colour palette, which veers from the
primary hues to mixed unusual tones of purple, sap green, orange, and golden
yellow.

This
exhibition brings life to life. A
must-see!
Wonderful work! I am intrigued by the expressionist figures complimented with abstract elements. I think it depicts a direction in style that is an emerging movement and reflective of the importance of maintaining the importance of beauty in art.
