Description
BALJIT CHADHA.
FLOAT ON COLORS
Creative bent of mind since childhood. This interest developed into hobby in painting when I as a trainee came in to contact with a renowned Japanese Artist – Ms Otha Miyoko in Japane Did a comprehensive course in acrylic n oil paintings from Delhi.I am planning to paint 11000 paintings of flowers in Abstract form for my solo show. My Divine flowers are mix of imaginative strokes as well as photographic material with me. I love to convert my photographs into paintings.
statement by an art critic
He paints strongly expressionist abstracts. His works command substantial interest among art lovers and have formed part of many exhibitions. He uses less of brush more of different materials such as spatulas / wooden sticks & masking liquid/ tapes ,push bottles.and a special paper.
statement by an art critic
In the floral work of Baljit Chadha, his pathway began with basic flowers, in pen and
ink due to the inspiration of classic sumi-e (ink painting) during his sojourn in Japan.
He understood this as the simple, basic embrace of nature –“to pluck a flower and paint
it!” Pursuing this spirit further, he declares that “I do not believe in straight lines, rather
a spontaneous use of colour.” He is more known in artistic circles to date in India for
his abstract paintings. This series, thus introduces his 11,000 flower oeuvres. Earlier
he added colour and then fexicol to bind the ink. Currently, he has incorporated the
following materials into his process: watercolour, acrylic paint, as well as oil and wax
pastels. This melange enables a broader depiction of the living element of his floral
subjects, such that these blossoms spring to life off the standard sized Chinese imported
paper upon which he steadfastly works.
Chadha incorporates his personal embrace of abstraction within the depiction of
the ‘divine flower’. Thereby extending the spatial component and fertilising the
surrounding air with colour and stroke. His idiosyncratic method, reminiscent of spin/
action painting, is to squeeze the paint from plastic bottles.A pansy, gladiolas, lilies, asters, hyacinth, to cite but a few, each painting is unique.
In spirit they are homage to Chadha’s passion to paint. Just as for the Old Master
painters of still-lives and floral subjects, each flower imparts his personal connection
and interpretation. The Mother of the Sri Aurobindo Society also penned a tome on
the significance and meaning of flowers. Chadha earlier had photographed flowers all
over the world, as part of his journeys and daily life. The kinetic nature of his paintings
departs from the photographic lens.
In consideration of the palette and use of materials, Chadha’s works bear a shimmering
sensibility akin to that of stained glass, a sort of translucence reflecting his rhythm of life.
One which he shares with the facets of nature he so consecrates on a daily basis, a true
immersion in this realm of his natural imagination.
For Chadha, this lexicon of intimate and universal beauty celebrates the diversity and
complex, ever startling web of interconnectivity of life. At its core, a true marvelling of
the adavaita, non-duality of humanity and the natural world which surrounds us, one
which we must heed to protect and admire.
