Ram Kumar (1924 - 2018)
Estimate : 22,00,000 - 25,00,000

Exhibited at and published for Lines and Colours, a solo show on the Modern Master, Ram Kumar (1924 - 2018) at Aakriti Art Gallery in 2016. The show was curated by poet and art critic, Prayag Shukla. 

According to Shukla, 'Ramkumar creates a meditative space by the use of lines, where one can also build and re-build one’s own `space’ to ponder over one’s feelings and thoughts. And along with that can cherish the feeling one gets from these superb lines. In our modern/contemporary art scene, lines have been used by many artists, including the artists of Ramkumar’s generation and by the younger ones, in various ways – strikingly, stunningly, violently and overtly. But in the lines of Ramkumar, Gaitonde and [the] likes of Nasreen Mohammadi, one finds a refreshing course, and that is to use line in a sophisticated, delicate and mild manner, to chart, to map and to navigate the inner feelings and emotions in an unobtrusive manner. Here the line truly becomes a `script’ of visual signs and signifiers, to bring the viewer closer to their `convincing’ and graceful presence.'

He further observes that 'Ramkumar’s fondness for hilly ranges, rivers, lakes, trees and the open sky is well known and all these have their presence, not symbolically but characteristically in both his drawings and paintings. Indeed they get `abstracted’ in his art but nevertheless, they are there in many forms with the essence of their `character’, bringing a kind of `realism’ to them. It is in this sense that his abstract `landscapes’ are never devoid of an earthiness, and the elements from nature to be seen and felt mirrored in them. The surging strokes, the palette knife with layers of pigment fills the canvas with somber hues. The blues, the reds, the yellows, the greenish touches become evoking and enchanting in many tones and shades

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).
