Naini Kumar's paintings are a symphony of light and color, reminiscent of the luminous effect of stained glass windows. His technique involves short, swift brush strokes that create a mosaic-like appearance, bursting with creativity and energy. Kumar's compositions are a synthesis of the myriad scenes and images he encounters daily, developed intuitively until the vision becomes clear.
Kumar's work primarily features still lifes and flora, but he has recently ventured into purely abstract images. His paintings exude a sense of continuity and movement, often giving the impression that the picture extends beyond the frame. This dynamic quality reflects Kumar's intense passion for art and his deep understanding of artistic principles.
Born in Jhansi, India, Naini Kumar pursued further studies in the United Kingdom. Currently, he and his family split their time between the UK and India, allowing him to draw inspiration from diverse cultural landscapes.
Enigmatic Visions is a group exhibition at Agora Gallery, showcasing the work of eleven contemporary artists. The exhibition features a variety of mediums, including watercolor, photography, oil, ink, and acrylic. Each artist brings a unique perspective, exploring themes of domesticity, nature, and formal beauty.
The exhibition highlights innovative approaches to traditional themes. One artist reduces the seascape to a single color, exploring the endless shades of blue. Another artist draws out the textural possibilities of a single brushstroke, while a third uses abstraction to isolate and emphasize subjects. Enigmatic Visions delves into the details of everyday life, offering a fresh perspective on familiar themes.
Naini Kumar's abstract paintings are a testament to his creative vision and artistic skill. His work, featured in the Enigmatic Visions exhibition at Agora Gallery, offers a vibrant and dynamic exploration of light, color, and form. Don't miss the opportunity to experience Kumar's luminous art in person from July 28 to August 17, 2017.
