Indepth Arts News: "Jyothi Basu: Landscapes towards a Supreme" 2006-04-19 until 2006-06-20 Thomas Erben Gallery New York, NY, USA United States of America
Bands of water reflect the blue gradations of the
sky and the seemingly abandoned environs, creating an effect of otherworldly
suspense. The paint is applied in small yet varied strokes and carefully builds
the imagery. His color palette is heightened and articulate in its skillful use
of shades and hues.
Basu's landscapes are often organized using a rectilinear geometry not unlike
the mappings of electronic circuitry. Everything pulsates in great stillness.
In this light, the works become a metaphor for our current cultural and
technological climate. They respond to how our advancement often forgets our
history and comment at the same time on how the contemporary can only exist and
is made possible by the seemingly neglected historical buttress.
A solo exhibition for the artist was organized by The Fine Art Resource,
Artist's Center, Mumbai, 2003, and recent participations include The Artist
Lives and Works, Haus der Kulturen der Welt, Berlin, 2005, and A Piece of the
Wall, Galerie Mirchandani+Steinruecke, Mumbai, 2006.
The exhibition is accompanied by a catalogue with an essay by Enrique Juncosa
and organized in cooperation with Galerie Mirchandani+Steinruecke, Mumbai.
