Special Online Exhibition for Landscape Art

Online, April 16, 2012 (Newswire.com) - Art Auction India is delighted to announce the opening of Original Oil Paintings supply to the major houses on view through last September 2011. This online exhibition is a part of its second show of different artists curated by an art connoisseur. Art Auction India presents some 20 paintings completed in the past two years, which include an extensive portrait series of Rabindranath Tagore, several Buddhas and a rich array of abstract work, all rendered in artists signature mix of resin, oil paint and pigment. The paintings are comprised of up to a dozen layers of this unique combination of materials. Like living creatures preserved in amber, the artist's vibrant colours from beneath a gem-like, glossy layer of resin. This stunning finish supports the philosophy he wishes to convey.

The approach to image-making negotiates a balance between the spiritual and physical worlds. Drawing inspiration from Buddhist concepts and other cultural and spiritual traditions of Indian culture, the artists believes that the best life is in equilibrium. If one can achieve balance, one can achieve peace. All the paintings are physical representations of his ideal way of life.

The impetus behind the current work is a concept called Landscape Art. The recent work proposes a womb-like mindset: protected, peaceful and free from strife and confrontation. The dynamic surfaces of canmvas paintings imitate the flux of life and create a tension between movement and stasis, life and half-life, peace and alienation.

The artists work in both abstract and representational styles. Informed by Cubism, T Raychaudhury's portraits are not always as one expect. An eye floats or a foot protrudes-a breaking down of the physical to understand the metaphysical, a fluid quest for balance.
The subjects of much of his recent work are iconic, historical figures who have become
his personal heroes-Rabindranath, Lord Buddha. Though his devotion is largely secular, the artist admires these religious and historical figures for their sacrifices and their commitment to peace and balance. His figural works often blend binaries: male becomes female, east and west converge.
