Silent voice (A short note on the art of Ramesh Anand)




Ved Prakash Bhardwaj
The art of Ramesh Anand is like meeting with unarticulated. Those are out of the grip of all language, shapes, and colors, tries to come out on the canvas with changing faces. Giving the feel of architecture with geometric shapes on the canvas, Ramesh Anand uses the power of transparency of colors to unveil the hidden part of life.


Like his personality, his paintings are also calm and serious. But somewhere beneath in this calm and seriousness is a deep restlessness that is eager to come out. Just as a father gently hands his little daughter to light from the darkness of life, Ramesh Anand brings unarticulated out of the layers of colors. The possibility of a deeper dialogue rests in his pictures as there is a voice in the silence.


He hears the beat of life amidst fractal archaeological monuments and uninhabited landscapes. Like a singer, his pictures give a new tone to this beat. As the form emerges from the abstraction, one just needs to identify it or reach it. Like the flame of a lamp in the dark, Ramesh opens the door to possibilities of vision and thought in front of viewers.
