Gayathri Gamuz

Artville Contemporary Artist Of The Day 
Gaythri Gamuz 
Title: Chinese Doll In South India, 
Year: 2008
In her paintings I see the desire to return to childlike innocence. There’s a sense of purity and tranquility in her paintings. In someworks there is delightfully ironic humour. Her uncluttered compositions that have select few forms reflect clarity in her evolved visual thought process. She portrays animals, human beings and objects in a realistic fashion with sensitive rendition of shadows and nuances of such kind. But there’s a twist in the compositions. She paints imaginary circumstances that reflect the present human condition in a language that is phantasmagoric. That adds zing to her paintings.

Her observation and the inclusion of the local cultural aspects are reflected in her visual language and commentary. It would be expected of a ‘foreigner’ living in India to make paintings of kitsch, imagery inspired by religious icons or Indian street life. Gayatri’s scope is not limited to an Indian or Spanish canvas. She observes the 21st century human condition and incorporates symbols, metaphors and instances from her immediate surrounding and blends them well with her roots and her beliefs.
Her paintings are endearing because they strike a chord with the innocent, carefree and humourous aspects within us. She speaks of a crucial concern with tenderness thus making her works intimate.
