KISHOR SHINDE
(1958)
Kishor Shinde was born in 1958. He studied Diploma in Painting
at the Faculty of Fine Arts at Maharaja Sayajirao University of
Baroda (1981). Shinde is on a quest to find a visual language
that reverberates with an energy that signifies the ethereal. As
the artist states, "While standing in front of the white canvas
space, the inner eye opens. As my body responds, abstract
versions of rhythm, builds visual syllables and symbols. This in
turn renders meanings in non-figurative modes. Myriad colours
fill the spaces. I am painting in a cathartic fervour." Shinde's
canvases are playgrounds of free spirited application of paint
laden with an emotive context. Though seemingly unplanned the
artist is conscious and specific of the colours he chooses to
let loose in his works. "The paint packed in the factory is
detached, away from human emotions. But, while becoming a
painting it goes through a process of attachment, taking life
from the artist to live its own." The heavily textured and
layered canvases are structured to a visual trajectory that
speaks a language of non-figurative symbols. Which is born at
the eternal moment of inertia and mobility. The artist lives and
works in New Delhi.
