about the Artist
|
Growing up between
Kolkata and Vishakhapatnam, RAKHEE ROY makes intricate paintings that
seem to create a rythmatic infusion of nature as the parenting pot of its living
elements. Using a soothing syncopation of figurative styles, charming colors
and a well rounded but dense assembly of life expressed as the foliage of
nature, the artist finds her unique voice of protesting against devastation
via the legato of suave enchantment as opposed to angst. Humans in her work
don the center stage but in topiarian forms embodying the conglomerate beauty
of their own environment. Rakhee’s work has been exhibited in many notable
art cites. A mother of two, she presently lives and works in Kolkata. |
Speaking about this infusive
fantasy that punctuates Rakhee’s work, noted art-critic Mrinal Ghosh
writes – “This fantasy, which is akin to the concept of chamtkara of
Indian aesthetics, is sonorous, rhythmic evoking a kind of child like
innocence and purity. In her fantasy reality merges with dream. Human being
is unified with various form of nature. This unification gives rise to a kind
of jubilation indicating some sort of resurrection from temporal turmoil. The
apparent reality is negated through introduction of super-reality. She
elevates her fantasy oriented decorative figurations towards a surrealist
sonority tinged with love for nature and life”. |
