Amit Ambalal’s paintings provide us with a social commentary on everyday India. He calls on Indian art traditions, mixing tribal, animal, a raw line and bold colours. We are drawn to his style as we enjoy the heady mix of the traditional primitive with the modern.
As with any piece of art, meaning is always with the viewer. This piece makes me smile. My Western eyes take a while to decide that I choose to see an older woman, on a vivid green chair, holding her glasses in her hand with a dog barking loudly next to her. Her stance is confident and challenging. I make a quick reference to portraits of important people, often painted sitting in a Western-style, high-back armchair.
In many portraits the background normally offers reference points to a geographical place or objects a clue to who the sitter is and what they do. But in this portrait, the imagery represents a universal Indian woman, hence the blank background. The painting is not about where she comes from but about her place in society. She may be the matriarch of all she surveys. The irony appears that she may not be physically able to see but her spirit is represented by the dog who definitely still has something to say.
She may be old but she is still in charge.

Elegant Bird Facing Left - Original Framed Animal Painting on Paper
By Kellie Newsome
Located in Los Angeles, CA
Dynamic and abstracted still-life artworks are the specialty of Georgia-based artist Kellie Newsome. Her work is characterized by a loose and expressive style emphasizing line structure to celebrate the details. Through layering additional texture, Newsome creates paints with depth and liveliness.
This one-of-a-kind 14-inch high by 11-inch wide mixed-media artwork is created with acrylic and pencil on watercolor paper. The artwork comes beautifully adorned with a gold frame, which is included in the size and price of the piece. It bears the artist's signature on the front and back and comes with a certificate of authenticity issued by the art gallery. Convenient shipping is available for those in the local Los Angeles area. Affordable worldwide shipping is available for U.S. and international art collectors.
Newsome says about her work: “Painting is my passion; I enjoy the process of capturing something beautiful and organic while creating contrast with vibrant and pastel colors combined with quiet spaces and bold mark-making. My subject matter is often plants or animals that make me feel empowered or inspired as metaphors for my own life experiences.”
Born in Columbus, Georgia, and raised on a small farm in Alabama, Newsome's love for flora and fauna shines through in her work. Her art practice received sponsorship from Chroma's Atelier Interactive brand of paint while she attended Troy University. Today, her artworks are collected across the United States, and she continues to create from her studio in Columbus, Georgia.
