Artville Contemporary Artist Of The Day
Reji Arackal
Portrait of ammini
Size: 36" x 48"
Medium: Oil on canvas
Given that the artist was born and raised in an agrarian society and culture in Kerala, Arackal frequently draws on Nature as the main subject in his works, denounces all the injustices that it has suffered at the hands of humans. His paintings tackle issues such as pollution, degradation of land, deforestation and the exploitation of the natural world by man. In order to express these concerns, Arackal uses distorted and surreal landscapes, often painted with unreal tones which aim to underline the distance and misunderstanding between man and Nature. Calling his paintings ‘devotional songs’, Arackal highlights the importance of Nature and tries to stimulate his audience to respect and protect it more. However, in his works he simultaneously uses bitter and ironic elements to emphasize the tough reality of the transience of life which is becoming even shorter due to our destructive tendencies.
In his paintings, Arackal mainly uses mixed media, charcoal, dry pastel and oils.
