This month we feature a selection of Black & White artwork from our collection. While all these works use different media and techniques, the absence of colour almost seems to amplify the artist''''s intentions. It''''s almost as if what they''''re trying to say is so important that they don''''t need colour - it would only be a distraction. The monochromatic color scheme also seems to add age and nostalgia to these works - a sense of history perhaps?
S.H. Raza''''s `Onkareshwar'''' uses black/white contrast to portray an impressionistic scene of this small riverside town and it''''s architecture. This work is quite unlike most of Raza''''s contemporary work, which makes it even more interesting.
Paramjit Singh''''s graphic print uses texture to convey both sand and leaves, and the white space in the center just draws us magnetically into the work.
In Manjula Padmanabhan''''s `Autumn, Summer, Spring'''', the illustration style reminds us of graphic novels and their story-lines, with the title adding another layer of mystery.
Krishna Sardar''''s etching has twenty abstracted human figures that walk, run or simply sit still meditatively.
The bird hidden in the forehead of Anjani Reddy''''s central character in `Nostalgia'''' makes us wonder if she''''s secretly longing to have her dreams take flight.
The framing and graininess of Ajit Seal''''s `Future Man II'''' remind us of an old photograph taken by the shore on a rough, windy day.
While T.Vaikuntam''''s faces and people are generally bursting with colour, we see here a simple drawing that is striking for very different reasons.
And lastly, Fawad Tamkanat''''s vases are almost like heirlooms handed down by older generations, but eventually forgotten.
