Blue Heaven and One

Paresh Mridha is an artist with a difference. He has created a beautiful style on the textural ground of our face which is not only new to the Indian art but also has a rhythmic quality in it.He has kept himself engrossed in the nostalgic touches and depicted the relationship between man and woman with a hemispheric outlook . Paresh as a painter,does not mimic what he sees in reality.Instead he tries to penetrate deep into a core of relationship between man and woman in a metaphysical manner to portray the meaning of the relationship.The expression of the figure mainly the faces is that of purity and reality.The relationship between the embryonic forms and the figures merges side by side. Sometimes birds are also depicted by the artist. He can confidently capture forms in his own distinctive manner enlivened by an innate feeling of peace with the world and the joy that comes out of of such feeling. It is the joy which is variously reflected in the soft and suggestive use of colours of the rich ornamentation of lines. Decoration is certainly an important trait of Paresh’s work, but so are the dynamism of the lines and the liveliness of the colours which often combine to provide the viewer a rare asthetic experience. His paintings never require an explanatory note and many of them do not even require a title.They speak for themselves and their in lies his imagination. Anything that is good and natural attracts his artistic mind.The smell of the earth, the colours of the sky,the waves of the river,the flying of the birds and the ripples in the glass blades by the blowing wind,all find expression in his works,so also the multiple moods and functions of the human beings. Technologically he is a great experimenter and has expressed himself in different mediums of paintings and graphic art.The bright colours are smeared on to create greater optical effect. The complementaries clash and vibrate .They shriek in different notes carrying symbolic imports .His originality lies in relecting the distinctive character of the ethos of the Indian people tryst with the unfavourable nature.
