About the works of Artist – Dnyaneshwar
Dhavale
Using nature to explore the abstract,Dnyaneshwar Dhavale paints
spiritual landscapes.
Landscapes and seascapes in acrylics and watercolors, executed on
handmade paper, form the core subject of paintings. Executed with
a classical technique, his paintings are broad vistas of color and light
that interpret the language of nature. Not one to be limited by reality,
Dnyaneshwar Dhavale essays to explore the meanings underlying the
obvious and this lends an abstract quality to his paintings. According
to critics, this seeks to give a deeper significance to general themes.
The imagery is personal and represents the quest of the artist for a
spiritual significance to offset the often-unsettling details of modern
life.
Dnyaneshwar Dhavale hails from Pune , a city that has been the birthplace
of many an young creative artist. Born in 1981 Dnyaneshwar Dhavale
studied at the J J School of Art , Mumbai , He belongs to the new
breed of artists who rely on the logic expressed through dreams.
Dnyaneshwar Dhavale landscapes stick to the conventional as far as the
subject matter goes, depicting scenes from villages and seashores.
But they are not an exact rendering of that which is perceived; rather
they are canvases that embrace a wider spectrum of issues that are
topical to the day and age. On first appearance, they seem disjointed
with no unifying idea, but on moving away from them the paintings
grow into flowing patterns that fuse effortlessly into a whole.
Dnyaneshwar Dhavale uses light cleverly to add to the breadth and space
of the canvas. In his paintings, the sky is never a hard, translucent
blue. Instead, his characters play out the drama of life under a twilit
or cloudy heaven, showing the many obscurities that beset human
endeavour.
Creating a delicate balance between the real and the metaphysical,
Dnyaneshwar Dhavale captures the often hidden depths in people and
objects within the framework of the conservative limits of landscape
painting. His works are a reflection of not only the times, but also the
mind and heart of the artist attempting to solve the questions posed by observing the world around him.
