About the Item
Madhvi Parekh - Untitled
Charcoal on Paper
17 x 14 inches, 1998
( Framed
Delivered )
This expressive drawing by Manu Parekh, created in 1996, exemplifies his enduring fascination with the human face as a vessel of emotion and spiritual tension.
The profile, rendered in red and brown lines, is surrounded by symbolic flora and fauna—suggesting a metaphysical dialogue between man and nature. The bird near the mouth evokes themes of speech, breath, and transformation.
This work is emblematic of Parekh’s post-Benaras period, where figuration becomes a site of introspection and mythic resonance. Its compact size intensifies the intimacy, making it a potent study of inner life and symbolic ecology.
Style : Parekh’s early work explored the relationships between man and nature, as according to him, this was an energetic link that had to be celebrated. The artist also points out that, since then, contradictions have formed the basis of his artistic practice, no matter the subject or genre of his works.
Polemics have always intrigued Manu Parekh – the energy of the organic form and the inherent sexuality within these forms are intangible elements in his works. His paintings provoke viewers to take notice of the world around them through the emotion, pain and anguish expressed in the subjects of his paintings. His colors and forms exude a volatile energy that can barely be contained within the confines of his canvas, and become an extension of the artist's personality.
Vivid colours and prominent lines are an integral part of Parekh’s work and each exudes the energy that he attempts to capture. Parekh admits to being very strongly influenced by his surroundings. His stay in the city of Calcutta, for instance, drew him towards Santiniketan and the old masters of Indian art, Ram Kinkar Baij and Rabindranath Tagore. His appreciation of their work, more at a perceptual level than stylistic one, urged him to delve deeper into the thoughts that inform his own oeuvre.
Banaras as a city came to play an integral role in Parekh’s work after his first visit there following his father’s death. This holy city of hope, of faith, of tourists offered him a vast number of contradictions in one location. Parekh also highlights his relationship with his wife Madhvi, who is a self taught artist, and his admiration for Picasso as key influences on his works.
