13th SOLO EXHIBITION OF ARUP LODH AT ACADEMY OF FINE ARTS

A QUESTION OF SPACE DIVISION



I believe that planning is the secret to the success of any venture; the similar is true in case of painting. I give a lot of importance to the task of planning before beginning a painting so that while painting the entire composition as well as the position of every element on the canvas is firmly imprinted in my mind. If the ingredients that constitute a painting are not in their correct places then the painting cannot attain its true potential. However, an ideal painting does not only entail the correct position of the compositional elements, it also involves correct choice and use of color to impart the required depth. This quality often shines through in the work of many British artists.While thinking about the subject and the composition I deliberate over the placement of individual elements and how much space on the canvas each will occupy including how much distance they will be at from each other and what their respective and relative proportions will be, thereby enriching the visual experience of the viewer.
