Shades of tranquillity, a solo exhibition by Veena Jain is captivating the attention of the art lovers of the city. It is being put up at Alliance Francaise de Bhopal’s Art Gallery.
The exhibition is all about creativity at its best. Veena Jain has recreated the stories of life through her paintings. The vibrant use of colours is the essence of these paintings. The painting exhibition will be on view till Saturday.
According to the artist, “Things that are captured through the lens of your creativity, seep deep into your heart and transcend through the stories that you tell. These stories are my paintings.”
She further says, “These stories are the long stored anecdotes that reflect upon my understanding of what’s around me and what’s around you. My work is my way of projecting the art that’s beyond quintessential colours and have a rusted melody to it. A melody that I humm everyday and would like everyone to hear, see and feel.”
“I have maintained a very intimate relationship with my surroundings. Whatever I've seen in my surroundings, I've striven to express it through my paintings in a unique manner. My works take their final form with the aid of visualistic and abstract images. I’ve tried to look and present the fundamental matter found many layers beneath the obvious,” she adds.
The rural ambience and its mud racked houses have deeply affected my mental makeup. Traveling down the lanes of my childhood, she find herself attached closely to such scattered memories. All this is and much more is the part of her canvas.
