Dynamics
and Possibilities of Gradation
For me every picture in the magazine or elsewhere responds or does something
to me. I collect the images which moves me.
Its to do with my and others aesthetics and social values. Images which
I like, has something to do with my knowledge of art and connection to elements
of art. Finding out meaning, metaphor and social values interests me.
‘I should like whatever I do and I should do what ever I like’ this was
told by Luice Gracia when he came to Pathways School Noida for annual sports
meet. Being in the competition leads to distraction of focus.
I spend time with images, admires its expressions and questions the
creation of GOD.
While creating an art work, I
constantly respond to its volume and gradations. The shapes and volumes on the
faces or the effect is the way I see the images. For me the finding out tones,
possibilities with the medium interests me a lot, distortion resulting to my
manipulation in response to the light and shade leads to some effective
expression in my work.
Light plays an important role in the
process of my surface rendering and texture application. One line to parallel
lines, one stroke to cross hatching, soft line to hard line, and creating small
path to large gradation makes it all in my painting and drawing process.
I start with image’s particular
feature and moves on towards rest of the area. It is essential for me to
respond to the surface rendering than the images response. The possibilities
and dynamics of gradation and distortion play a significant role in the
process. Phenomenon of the work is based on the interest and intensity of the
artistic temperament during the process of creation.
My
Aesthetics and Values
“Every
stroke leads to my aesthetic expression”
When I practice art invariable light
plays an important role. Finding out the light and shade in the photograph and
trying to see more in detail which is not there has become my way of seeing.
Understanding the gradation, finding out the ambiguous areas, revealing the
hidden areas plays an important role in my aesthetics development.
Exaggeration of facial features
following the beauties of shapes and volumes creates a dimension and feelings.
Cubism and tonal structure plays a significant role inspiring my sense of
aesthetics. Discovering the tenderness, lines, structures, and gradations is a
constant endeavor in my creative system.
What image is expressing and what am
I constructing meaning out of it has been a constant effort for me with the
images. My critical reflection on art
and its sensory – emotional value helps to understand visual taste. Judgment,
relation and discoveries helps me to believe in creative values.
Colour plan is also complicated area to
explore. Planning the hue and values of colour traps me often and it becomes
difficult for me to make my colour palette.
Colour wheel and its theories help me
to understand and apply it on the surface. Complimentary to family
colours makes it easy with it expressive values.
What could
be the flow chart of my creative thinking?
Requirement
of the beauty in art has made a difficult choice for an artist in the 21st
century.
Many more
things to discover..
Creative thinking and journey is on…
